• 

Make sure that the batteries are always well charged.

• 

Do not use the wheelchair if the batteries are almost flat. This may damage the batteries and you run the risk of an unintended 

standstill.

•  The use of ‘wet’ batteries is not permitted. If the batteries have to be replaced, use only dry batteries.

5.2  Cabling

When connecting the cabling:

•  Fix the cables with tie wraps to the seat to prevent entrapment of loose cables between parts.

•  Ensure that the cables are not trapped under the seat.

•  Replace cables immediately if they are damaged, because of possible risks when wires are broken or electrical breakdown.

•  Never attempt to repair any damaged cables but replace them with original cables.

•  Keep the actuator adjustments in mind when routing the cables (eg tilt). There has to be enough cable length to make the 

electrical adjustment possible. This is why there will be an overlength of the cable in use with the 45° tilt. In case of the lift the 

cables needs to be fitted in the cable track.

•  Never roll up or cross loop the overlength cables to prevent EMC. Better practice is to route the cables up and down and keep 

the open loops next to each other.

•  Take minimum bending radius into account when tracking routes and securing cables. Do not take too sharp turns.

•  Do not pull cables tight over sharp corners or edges of the construction since this may damage the calbes.

•  Make sure the cables are not too tight and/or under tension.

•  Check all above points after each width, depth or height adjustment made to the chair.
