Other controls: All further devices are explained in the appendices:
Fault indicator:
- If it remains lit, this means that everything is OK. It flashes to indicate any fault that may have arisen. Slow and
regular flashing means the batteries need charging.
- If it flashes once every 2.5 seconds, this means that the control system has been deactivated particularly if the
wheelchair has not been used for a certain period of time. To reactivate it, turn off the system and then turn it
on again.
- If the fault indicator flashes rapidly, this indicates that there is a fault. Turn off the system. Check the state of
the batteries and the connections, and turn on the system again. If the flashing continues, the number of bars
flashing will indicate the location of the fault.
If the number of bars flashing is 1: The batteries need charging, or are badly connected.
If the number of bars flashing is 2: The left motor is improperly connected.
If the number of bars flashing is 3: Electrical fault in the left motor.
If the number of bars flashing is 4: The right motor is improperly connected.
If the number of bars flashing is 5: Electrical fault in the right motor.
If the number of bars flashing is 6: The battery charger is plugged in.
If the number of bars flashing is 7: Fault in the control.
If the number of bars flashing is 8: System fault. Check all connections.
If the number of bars flashing is 9: Fault in the electric brake.
If the number of bars flashing is 10: Operating voltage too high.
Electrical fuses: To prevent the wheelchair from becoming overloaded, an electronic safety system has been
built in, which automatically disconnects the battery from the control. This device cuts in only in extreme
circumstances, such as repeated climbing of steep hills in very high ambient temperatures. The fuse button,
located on the side of the battery, trips immediately and the wheelchair comes to a stop. The fuse can be reset
by pressing the button. After a few seconds the wheelchair can be driven again normally.
Slopes: The following instructions explain how to manoeuvre correctly on steep ramps and slopes, especially in
the course of descent. If you stop on an incline, start off slowly and, if necessary, lean forward
to counteract the tendency of the front wheels to rise. On descents it is important not to allow
the wheelchair to exceed normal speed. Indeed, the safest course is to go down steep hills
slowly and to stop immediately if you have any doubts about the steering. If the chair gathers
speed, move the joystick to its central position to slow down, or stop completely. Then start off
again slowly and do not allow speed to increase. Make sure the automatic brakes are engaged.
Climbing or descending a slope with the automatic brakes disengaged can be dangerous.
Transfers: Always position the wheelchair close to the place where the transfer will be carried out. It is important
that the controller is turned OFF, so that the wheelchair will not move throughout the procedure.
The wheelchair is highly stable owing to its weight. Do not stand up on the footrests at any
time during the transfer.

1. Battery Gauge/fault indicator: This indicates that the wheelchair is under power. It
also indicates any fault there may be in functioning. The number of lights flashing
indicates the fault type. (See "Fault indicator" section in this manual.)
2. Speed indicator: This indicates the maximum speed set for the wheelchair. There
are five predefined speeds, 1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest.
3. On/Off key: This connects or disconnects the entire electronic system, which
supplies energy to the motors. Do not use this button to stop the chair except in
case of emergency, as doing so may damage the wheelchair.
4. Horn
5. Speed decrease key: Decreases the maximum speed setting
6. Speed increase key: Increases the maximum speed setting
