6.2. Check before use

6.2.1. Brake check

Every time you use the wheelchair check the brake system. Move
forward slowly and release the joystick. The wheelchair must come to
a stop in the normal manner. When it is at a standstill the mechanical
brake must lock with an audible click. If you detect unusual brake
behaviour, inform your qualified medical supply dealer immediately
and do not use the wheelchair.
The motor brake operates correctly if you cannot push the wheelchair
when it is switched off. However, if it can be moved, the electromagnetic
brake is faulty. Do not use the wheelchair if this is the case. Contact
your qualified medical supply dealer immediately.
6.2.2. Checking lights, indicators
and horn
Before moving off in the wheelchair always check the operation of the
lighting system, the indicators and horn. If you press the button and
there is no response from the equipment, inform your qualified medical
supply dealer immediately and do not use the wheelchair.

6.2.3. Checking the tyres

Prior to each use, please check the sound condition of the tyres.
Regularly check the profile depth of the tyres once a month. The profile
depth should measure at least 1mm.
Defective or worn tyres must be replaced by your qualified mobility
dealer.

6.3. Batteries

The wheelchair is equipped with maintenance-free gel batteries whose
fluid level does not need to be checked.
If you do not use your wheelchair for an extended period, the batteries
should be charged every two months, otherwise they may be destroyed
by deep discharge.
Make a habit of checking the battery status display on the control
every time before using your wheelchair. If the battery status display
shows only the red LEDs, do not travel long distances and connect the
battery charger to the wheelchair as soon as possible.
We recommend charging the battery after every time the wheelchair
is used.

6.3.1. Charging

Charging for the first time
To charge the batteries to their maximum capacity proceed as follows:
• Discharge the factory-charged batteries until the LED display shows
two bars.
• Charge the batteries as described below (approx. 16 hours).
• Discharge the batteries again to two bars on the LED indicator.
Use only approved battery chargers to charge the
batteries (see Technical Data). Follow the instruc-
tions for use of the battery charger.
Before using the battery charger check that the mains connection is
230 V.
• Switch off the wheelchair first.
