A Note About Drive Lock-Out
ƽ WARNING
NEVER operate the wheelchair while in any tilted/reclined/back angle position over
20° relative to the vertical position. If the drive lock-out does not stop the
wheelchair from operating in a tilt position over 20° relative to the vertical position,
DO NOT operate the wheelchair. DO NOT attempt to adjust the drive lock-out.
Have the wheelchair serviced by a qualified technician.
The wheelchair user MUST have a clear line of sight to drive safely. On initial chair
delivery and after adjusting the back angle, drive lock-out switch, tilt system or
recline system, tilt and recline the seat back to the farthest driving position
immediately before drive lock-out engages and ensure there is a clear line of sight
present in which to drive the wheelchair. If a clear line of sight is not present, have
the back angle repositioned or readjust the lockout angle such that safe driving with
a clear line of sight is achieved. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.
The LED on the single function toggle switch will light when the drive lock-out feature
has been activated. Drive lock-out is a feature designed to prevent the wheelchair from
being driven after the seating system has been tilted or reclined beyond 20°* relative to
the vertical position. The back can be positioned at a 10° relative offset to the seat base,
thereby resulting in a back angle potential of 30° before which the drive lock-out is
activated. This may affect the wheelchair user’s line of sight while driving. Make sure the
wheelchair user can see properly to ensure safe driving.
*NOTE: 20° back angle can be any combination of recline, tilt and/or surface angle.
NOTE: Refer to Typical Product Parameters on page 12 for tilt and/or recline angle ranges.
