FEATURES

Motor speed and direction are regulated by the joystick control unit. With practice, automatic control of acceleration, braking and change of direction will ensure a smooth, jerk-free ride. The variable speed selector gives you total control in any environment.

The power chair cannot be driven when the batteries are being charged. Controller circuits are designed to prevent operation during the charging process.

CHARGING • The battery gauge will indicate that your batteries are low. Charging is straightforward, (Refer to enclosed booklet).

BATTERIES • The batteries fitted as standard are completely sealed and therefore cannot be spilled like conventional ‘wet’ cells. Total performance and reliable operation is dependent on the care and understanding of batteries and battery charging. Please refer to the appropriate section and separate booklet supplied. Sealed Gel batteries are classed as non hazardous by all air transport and travel authorities. Mobility vehicles fitted with these batteries can be safely taken onto aeroplanes, ships, buses, ambulances or trains without having to remove the batteries from the equipment.

TYRES • Pneumatic drive wheels and castors are fitted as standard. Puncture proof wheels will alleviate the need to maintain pressures and give a smooth but slightly harder ride. These are available as options.

UPHOLSTERY * The upholstery complies with the requirements for resistance to cigarette and match ignition ISO7176:16. Refer to section on cleaning and care of upholstery materials. Prolonged exposure to ultra-violet light will reduce the life of the upholstery, protect against sunlight.
