Electric chairs can offer to people with physical limitations greater independence and ability to maneuver. Before embarking on a trip outdoors, be sure to read the manual and have practiced the use of all the functions of the chair offers. It is especially important that the pilot feels comfortable using the joystick to maneuver the electric wheelchair. Learn how to use an electric wheelchair is a process of trial and error, but with practice it will become second nature.
Explanation:
Charge the batteries. Connect the charger to the charging port on the interface of the virtual switch or VSI, the controller, and then turn it back on. Examine the indicator light on the charger. A red light indicates power to the charger. A green light indicates that charging is complete. Turn off and unplug the charger from the port once complete.
Move the joystick to control the speed and direction of the electric wheelchair. Push the joystick to the right, left, forward and backward, and the chair will move in that direction. The increase in the speed at which the chair moves is activated by pressure applied to the lever-the more difficult to push the control lever, the faster the chair is going to go in that direction. Release the joystick to participate automatically applies the brakes.
Adjust the height of the armrest. Locate the adjustment knob on the side of each armrest. Twist or pull the knob, then adjust the height of the armrest. Turn or press the button to lock the armrest in place. The settings are usually in increments of 1 ½ inches.
Disconnect the drive mechanism to put the chair in manual mode. The unit / free-wheel mechanism is located on the back of the chair, underneath the engine. Turn the lever to the right to disengage the drive mechanism. A chair in manual mode is now a manual chair; this option allows users to maneuver by themselves or in small spaces. Wheelchair lifts and wheelchair ramps are an extra options for handicapped person. These facilities makes their living more easier.
Tips and warnings:
◾Regularly check the wheels for the goods, the accumulation of dirt, hair or other debris.
