Product Specifications

Practice Before Use

Failure to follow the below instructions may result in serious injury or damage to the electric power wheelchair. Before venturing onto the roads, find an open area such as a park, and invite a friend to accompany you till you master the operations. The power button should always be off before you get on or off the seat. Set the speed control button appropriately for the vicinity in which you are travelling. We advise you to keep a slow speed until you are familiar with handling this wheelchair.

Forward, reverse, and stop operations.

• Simply push the joystick gently in the direction you wish to move. The further you push the joystick, the faster the chair will move in that direction. Maximum speed in any direction depends on the speed range selected. Tums should be made at a slower speed.
• When moving in reverse, a beeping signal will sound to alert people in the vicinity. Note that, whenever possible, it is preferable to make a 180 degree tum (rather than going in reverse) so that you can better see where you are going and what might be in your way.
• To STOP movement in any direction, simply let go of the joystick; it will automatically return to its neutral center position and the motors will disengage. Note that, depending on how fast you were moving, you momentum may prevent an immediate stop. This is especially true when going downhill.

Electromagnetic Interference Advisory

1. In our modem era of rapid electronic advancement, especially within the realm of communication technology, our surroundings have become increasingly saturated with invisible electromagnetic waves. These waves emanate from devices such as televisions, radios, and communication signals, continually intensifying in potency. It is crucial to understand that all electronic devices essentially function as antennas, intercepting and reacting to these electromagnetic signals and their fluctuations.
2. Both electric wheelchairs and electric scooters are susceptible to electromagnetic interference. This interference typically arises from electromagnetic energy emanating from sources like radios, televisions, and mobile phones. Such interference can result in adverse effects on the operation of electric wheelchairs, potentially leading to irregular movements and compromised control.

   This indicates that the wheelchair is currently in the charging process. To operate the wheelchair, it’s essential to unplug the charger first.

3. Control Beeping and Flashing Alarms
   When the control system is activated, accompanied by sound and light alarms, it restricts the movement of the wheelchair. This signifies that the electric wheelchair is in manual mode.

4. About Joystick
   The primary purpose of the joystick is to govern both the speed and direction of the wheelchair. This versatile controller enables the wheelchair to navigate in various directions. The degree of push applied to the joystick dictates the speed at which the wheelchair moves in a particular direction. The further the joystick is displaced from its central position, the greater the speed at which the wheelchair will travel. Upon releasing the control handle, the wheelchair promptly engages its automatic braking system.

The left picture is an indicator for the wheelchair’s speed settings. One illuminated light bar represents the lowest speed, while all five bars lit up indicate the highest speed.

Battery Use

The electric wheelchair uses a 24-voltage battery. It is a good idea to carry the backup 24-voltage maintenance-free sealed Lithium battery for an extended long range. The batteries are designed to handle deep discharges. Car batteries are not safe for use in electric wheelchairs, although they are similar in performance, they cannot be replaced.

Battery charge and discharge
In order to maximize the efficiency of your wheelchair battery, you should:

1. Fully charge your battery during initial use.
2. Start slowly when using the wheelchair in your home or on the driveway.
3. Charge the battery for 12 hours, and then re-operate the wheelchair.
4. After 4-5 cycles of charging and discharging, the battery performance can reach 100%, and can last longer.

Frequently charged batteries provide reliable performance and long battery life. If the battery is not charged often or not fully charged, it may cause shorter battery life or battery damage permanently, which leads to unreliable operations.
If you do not often use your electric wheelchair, you must charge once a month to maintain battery life. If you want to ship your wheelchair, you must contact the shipping company in advance to ensure that the wheelchair meets the special requirements of the transport. Maintenance-free fully enclosed lead-acid batteries are specially designed for wheelchairs and other mobile vehicles. Overall, the maintenance-free, fully enclosed lead-acid batteries are safe, green and environmentally friendly, usually being applied to aircraft, buses and trains. By the way, we recommend you to contact the public transport department for packaging and shipping according to its special performance. Used batteries should be carefully discarded according to your local council regulations.
