10.7 Care
1. Avoid knocking your control system, especially the joystick.
2. When transporting your wheelchair ensure the control
system is well protected.
3. To prolong the life of the control system, keep exposure to
extreme conditions to a minimum. Always clean your control
system if it becomes contaminated with food or drink.
4. Use a damp cloth and washing up liquid mixed with water. Do
not use abrasive or spirit based cleaning agents.
10.8 Daily Checks
Joystick:
With the control system switched off, check that the joystick
is not bent or damaged and that it returns to centre when you
release it. If there is a problem do not use your wheelchair and
contact your service agent.
10.9 Weekly Checks
Electrical Brakes:
This test should be carried out on a level floor with at least one
meter clear space around the wheelchair.
Switch on the control system.
Check that after 1 second the battery gauge remains on or
flashes slowly.
Push the joystick slowly forwards until you hear the electrical
brakes operate. The chair may start to move.
Immediately release the joystick. You must be able to hear
each electrical brake operate within a few seconds.
Repeat the test three times, pushing the joystick backwards,
left and right respectively.
Lights & Actuators:
If your wheelchair is fitted with lights, turn indicators or seat
adjustment actuator, check the operation of these.
Connectors:
Check all connectors are secure, properly mated and free from
damage.
Cables:
Check condition of all cables for damage.
Joystick Gaiter:
Check the thin rubber gaiter around the base of the joystick
for damage or splitting. Check visually only, do not handle the
gaiter.
Mounting:
Make sure the controller is securely fixed to your wheelchair.
Do not over tighten any screws.

11.0 Precautions for Use
WARNING:
In the event of the wheelchair moving in an unexpected way
RELEASE THE JOYSTICK. This action will stop the wheelchair
under any circumstances.
11.1
WARNINGS:
• Do not drive the wheelchair beyond restrictions indicated in
your wheelchair user manual, for example maximum inclines,
kerb height etc.
• Do not drive the wheelchair in places or on surfaces where
a loss of wheel grip could be hazardous, for example on wet
grassy slopes.
• Do not drive the wheelchair if you know that the control
system or other crucial components require repair.
• Although the R-net control system is designed to be extremely
reliable and each unit is rigorously tested during manufacture,
the possibility of a system malfunction always exists (however
small the probability). Under some conditions of system
malfunction, the control system must (for safety reasons)
stop the chair instantaneously. If there is any possibility that
you could fall out of the chair as a result of a sudden braking
action, it is imperative that a restraining device, such as a
seat belt supplied with the wheelchair, is in use at all times
when the wheelchair is in motion. Sunrise Medical accepts
no liability for losses of any kind arising from the unexpected
stopping of the wheelchair, or arising from the improper use of
the wheelchair or control system.
• Do not operate the control system if the chair behaves
erratically, or shows abnormal signs of heating, sparks or
smoke. Turn the control system off at once and consult your
service agent. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses
of any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
• Electronic equipment can be affected by Electro Magnetic
Interference (EMI). Such interference may be generated by
radio stations, TV stations, other radio transmitters and mobile
phones. If the chair exhibits erratic behaviour due to EMI, turn
the control system off immediately and consult your service
agent. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of any
kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
• The wheelchair user must comply with all wheelchair safety
warnings. Sunrise Medical accepts no liability for losses of
any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
Your wheelchair complies with appropriate National and
International EMC legislation. For comprehensive
instructions and advice on EMC & EMI conformity,
please consult your wheelchair Owner's Manual/
Instruction Book.
