Controller Settings/Repair or Service

CAUTION

Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed only by a qualified techni- cian. The fine tuning adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair. Reprogramming the controller reduces the stability/control of the wheelchair. Other program settings could cause the wheelchair to tip over resulting in serious injury to the user and/or damage to the surrounding property. If any indi- vidual other than a qualified technician performs any work on these units, the war- ranty is void.

Operating Information

Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding property.

After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to the specifications entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does not perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair off immediately and reenter set-up specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.

ALWAYS shift your weight in the direction you are turning. DO NOT shift your weight in the opposite direction of the turn. Shifting your weight in the opposite direction of the turn may cause the inside drive wheel to lose traction and the wheelchair to tip over.

DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.

DO determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
