Summit HP-1L, HP-1S user manual ZWarning

OPERATION

Note:

BYou must turn the controller OFF and then ON again to reset the controller, even if the source of the fault is removed/corrected.

BIf more than one fault exists, then the fault having the highest priority is indicated.

C.Free-Wheeling:

Because the motors are designed to engage the electromagnetic brakes when the vehicle is not in use or when the power is OFF, they also have a manual feature that allows them to "free-wheel". Free-wheeling is accomplished by turning the free- wheeling levers to the disengaged position as shown in Fig. 15.

ZWarning!

@Never free-wheel your power wheelchair on a slope;

@Never free-wheel the motors while operating your vehicle;

@Always remember to engage the motors before turning the power back ON.

D. Electromagnetic Brakes:

Your power wheelchair comes with an Electromagnetic Brakes, i.e. an automatic magnetic disc safety brake which is also known as Fail-Safe brakes.

The Electromagnetic Brakes are automatic and work when the power wheelchair is ON but in a steady state (i.e. Joystick is released to the neutral position), even when the chair is on a slope. The Electromagnetic Brakes will also be set whenever the power wheelchair is OFF, but the motor levers are in the engaged (vertical) position.

Note:

Please refer to the section titled “To check brake” in the Maintenance & Repair section in page 18 to make sure brakes are in good condition.
