12.13 Pilot + Attendant Control
Press the ON/OFF Switch. The battery gauge will blink then turn on after second. Check the
maximum speed control is set to a level which suits you. Push the joystick to control the speed and
direction of the wheelchair. Please note that if you push the joystick before or just after you switch
the control system on, the battery gauge will ripple up and down and the wheelchair will not be
allowed to move. You must release the joystick to resume normal operation. If you do not release the
joystick within five seconds the wheelchair will not be able to move, even if you release the joystick
and push it again. The battery gauge will then flash rapidly. You can reset this condition by switching
the control system off and on again. If you do not push the joystick as you switch the wheelchair on
and the battery gauge flashes rapidly, then there may be a fault.
Freewheel Operation (see 11.1)
To push the Powerchair by hand in the event of a fault or battery
failure, or simply to move it WITH NO OCCUPANT in it, the two
motor/gearbox units can be declutched from the rear wheels.
First ensure that power is switched OFF on the joystick box.
CAUTION
•
Freewheel operation is only intended for short-term use in
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES, NOT as a regular or permanent
mode of Powerchair movement. In freewheel mode the
Powerchair is NOT secured by the electromagnetic brakes, as
both brake systems are out of action during this time.
