Controller Settings/Repair or Service
CAUTION
Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed only by a qualified techni-
cian. The fine tuning adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the
wheelchair. Reprogramming the controller reduces the stability/control of the
wheelchair. Other program settings could cause the wheelchair to tip over resulting
in serious injury to the user and/or damage to the surrounding property. If any indi-
vidual other than a qualified technician performs any work on these units, the war-
ranty is void.
Operating Information
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or
persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings
could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding
property.
After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to
the specifications entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does not
perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair off immediately and reenter set-up
specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.
ALWAYS shift your weight in the direction you are turning. DO NOT shift your weight in
the opposite direction of the turn. Shifting your weight in the opposite direction of the
turn may cause the inside drive wheel to lose traction and the wheelchair to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the
wheelchair may tip over.
DO determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching
and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before
attempting active use of the wheelchair.
