Height-adjustable footrests: To elevate: Lift the leg and the swing-up part of the leg support. The leg support
engages automatically as soon as you let go of it. To lower: Lift up the leg and press the lever to release
while lowering the footrest. This will now remain in its new position as soon as you let go of the lever.
Caution: Keep hands clear of the adjustment mechanism between the frame and the moving parts of the
footrest while adjusting the legrest.
To steer the chair simply move the joystick or knob in the desired direction. The further forward you push
it, the faster the wheelchair will travel. The knob regulates the power and top speed. When it is released,
the brakes will activate automatically and the wheelchair will come to a standstill. It is important that you
stop the wheelchair before you change direction from forward to reverse. Always turn off the wheelchair
before you get off. Look ahead while you drive, not at the controls. Remember that only with practice will
you become a competent driver.
Joystick
Your wheelchair is controlled by:
❑ Joystick: This determines the speed and direction of the wheelchair. The further forward you push it,
the faster the wheelchair will travel. When the joystick returns to its central position, the brakes will
activate automatically. On flat ground, braking distance is equal to the length of the wheelchair. On a
hill it may be a little more.
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.

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.
