OPERATION
Note:
B
You must turn the controller OFF and then ON again to reset the controller, even
if the source of the fault is removed/corrected.
B
If more than one fault exists, then the fault having the highest priority is indicated.
C. Free-Wheeling:
Because the motors are designed to engage the
electromagnetic brakes when the vehicle is not in
use or when the power is OFF, they also have a
manual feature that allows them to "free-wheel".
Free-wheeling is accomplished by turning the free-
wheeling levers to the disengaged position as
shown in Fig. 15.
Z
Warning!
@
Never free-wheel your power wheelchair on a slope;
@
Never free-wheel the motors while operating your vehicle;
@
Always remember to engage the motors before turning the power back ON.
D. Electromagnetic Brakes:
Your power wheelchair comes with an Electromagnetic Brakes, i.e. an automatic
magnetic disc safety brake which is also known as Fail-Safe brakes.
The Electromagnetic Brakes are automatic and work when the power wheelchair is ON
but in a steady state (i.e. Joystick is released to the neutral position), even when the
chair is on a slope. The Electromagnetic Brakes will also be set whenever the power
wheelchair is OFF, but the motor levers are in the engaged (vertical) position.
Note:
Please refer to the section titled “To check brake” in the Maintenance & Repair section
in page 18 to make sure brakes are in good condition.
