Penny and Giles Integral control

On a steep hill, it may travel slightly further and you will notice the brakes being automatically applied when the chair is nearly stationary. Once the brakes have been applied, switching off will make no difference to the brakes, although it is always safer when remaining stationary for a period of time to switch off.

If you need to do an emergency stop, then switch off the on/off switch. This will immediately apply full braking and bring the chair to a rapid halt.
