Equipment

Power wheelchairs are fitted with all terrain tyres.

Please refer to tyre pressure chart below. It depends on the client’s weight as to what they should be set to, but yes, they should have some give in them so that they can gain traction.

There should be a small bracket that clamps around the leg rest that the calf pad drops into. You will need to back the bolt off slightly, turn the bracket toward the front of the chair and then do the nut back up.

NOTE: When the docking pin is down all speeds are set to slow and there is a little yellow turtle on the screen. 

Try the following:

• Turn controller ON
• Push mode button display to change the settings
• Tap left or right to bring up the DOCKING PIN on the display
• When the docking pin displayed on controller PUSH UP to retract
• Finally, push MODE to go back to driving.

Speeds should be back to normal.

As a car member of RACV, your client can add a wheelchair OR they can join the RACV as a wheelchair user.

In an emergency, your electric wheelchair is equipped with a manual freewheel lever mounted on each motor. They are easily identifiable by their bright yellow tip. These levers allow you to disengage the drive motors so that you can push the chair manually.

No, if your client has an OMNI controller, they cannot have a tray table on the powerchair. This is due to both slots on the armrest being used by the controller and joystick, therefore there is no channel underneath the armrest to allow room for a tray table.
