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.
Summary
1. | To steer, simply move the |
| joystick in the direction you wish |
| to go. |
2. | The further you move the |
| joystick, the faster you will go. |
3. | The speed setting knob |
| combined with the fast slow |
| switch adjusts the minimum and |
| maximum speed of the |
| wheelchair. Useful when learning |
TruCharge battery gauge (Pilot/Pilot+ Control)
This is a 10 segment illuminated display which indicates if the controller is turned on and also gives the status of the battery, the controller and the wheelchair electrical system (Fig. 42).
Red, yellow and green bars lit: Battery charged; controller and electrical system OK.
Red and yellow bars lit: Charge battery if possible; controller and electrical system OK.
Red bars only lit or slow flash:
Charge battery as soon as possible; controller and electrical system OK.
Rapid flash of bars: Indicates a fault in the controller or electrical system. See inset for fault diagnostics.
Ripple up and down of bars:
Joystick displaced at turn on.
| or in tight situations. |
4. | The brakes will automatically |
| stop the wheelchair from any |
| speed when the joystick is |
| released. |
5. | Switching off immediately |
| applies braking. |
6. | It is important that the chair is |
| stationary when changing |
| direction from reverse to |
| forward. |
7. | Always switch to off before |
| getting out of the chair. |
