Weekly Safety checks
Parking brake:
This test should be carried out on a level
floor with at least one meter clearance
around the chair.
Switch on the control system.
Check that the battery gauge remains on,
or flashes slowly, after one second.
Push the joystick slowly forwards until you
hear the parking brakes operate. The chair
may start to move.
Immediately release the joystick. You must
be able to hear each parking brake operate
within a few seconds.
Repeat the test a further 3 times, pushing
the joystick slowly backwards, left and right.
Connectors:
Make sure that all connectors are securely
mated.
Cables:
Check the condition of all cables and
connectors for damage.
Joystick gaiter:
Check the thin rubber gaiter or boot around
the base of the joystick shaft for damage or
splitting. Check visually only, do not handle
the gaiter.
Mounting:
Make sure that all components of the control
system are securely mounted. Do not
overtighten any securing screws.
Daily Safety checks
With the control system switched off,
check that the joystick is not bent or
damaged and that it returns to the center
when you push and release it. If there is
a problem do not continue with the safety
checks and contact your service agent.
