5 Use of the wheelchair
5.1 Checking the wheelchair before use

1. The tyres are suffi ciently infl ated (see § 6.3).
2. The batteries are suffi ciently charged. The green
lights on the battery indicator must be on.
(
Controller)
3. The lights and the indicator lights are working
properly. (
Controller)
4. The freewheel switch has been set to ‘drive’
(see § 5.6).
Note!
Before use, always check to see whether clothing or
accessories could come into contact with wheels or
other moving and/or rotating parts in which they could
become entangled.
The capacity of batteries is reduced in winter. During a
period of light frost, the capacity is roughly 75% of the
normal capacity. At temperatures below -5˚C this will be
roughly 50%. This will reduce the wheelchair’s range.
