Parallel Swing-Away
Fig. 44
WARNING
Do not hang any items on or over
the parallel swing-away remote
assembly as this could damage the
swing-away mechanism.
When transferring to and from the
wheelchair do not use the remote as
a means of support.
Keep fingers, clothing, etc. clear of
the swing-away mechanism at all
times.
Ensure the power is switched off
while adjusting the parallel swing-
away arm.
Only operate the wheelchair at low
manoeuvring speed when the parallel
swing-away is in use.
WARNING
Before adjusting the swing-away
arm, switch off the controller to avoid
accidental displacement of the
joystick which would cause
unwanted movement of your
wheelchair.
Gently apply pressure to the side of the
controller nearest the user and as close
as possible to the front of the controller.
The controller will move outward and
then backward before reaching its fully
back position.
WARNING
Keep your fingers and clothing, etc.
clear while operating the swing-away
mechanism.
If required, your wheelchair can be
operated with the swing-away mechanism
in its fully back position, but only for slow
manoeuvering such as positioning the
wheelchair closer to table tops, etc. See
Fig. 44.
To revert to the normal driving position,
switch off the power and pull the arm
outwards and then forwards before
returning the arm to its ‘home’ position.
Make sure the controller is fully engaged
in its home position before switching on
and operating the wheelchair in the normal
manner.
WARNING
Be aware that the width of you chair
has increased if the swing-away arm
is out and you may not get between
certain obstacles.
