5.0 Preparing your wheelchair for use
5.1 Handling the wheelchair
NOTE: To prepare the chair for transport or storage no tools
are required.
WARNING!
Make sure, when the chair is stored or left in the car or
anywhere else, the controller is switched off and the freewheel
mechanisms are engaged.
CAUTION!
If there is a need to lift the drive unit use the castor arm and
the drive wheel. Caution should be taken if the chair is in
freewheel.
WARNING!
• Make sure the freewheel mechanisms are engaged.
• Never lift the wheelchair by the armrests or the leg rests,
since they are detachable and harm could be done to the
user or to the wheelchair.
5.2 Emergency freewheel
By pushing the freewheel levers inwards from both sides of the
base, from position A to position B, (Fig.5.1 - 5.2), the drives
become disconnected from the motors.
DANGER!
This may only be used in an emergency, or if you need to
manually push your wheelchair. It is not intended for permanent
use or to push the wheelchair up/down a slope with the user
sitting in it.
NOTE: The chair's automatic braking system will not work
unless the brake release levers are in the "drive" position.
WARNING!
• Motor surfaces can be hot after use. Be careful not to touch
the motor casing when disengaging the freewheel.
• Never attempt to disengage the freewheel mechanism whilst
sitting in the wheelchair, especially on a slope.

5.3 Drive wheel suspension Puma 40:
The Puma 40 has an effective and adjustable drive wheel
suspension system as a standard feature. To match your
requirements on drive comfort, the tension of the springs
at the damper can be adjusted. Turning the aluminium ring
on the top of the spring downwards will stiffen your ride,
adjusting the aluminium ring in a higher position will soften it.
This option is to be used to match the different user weights
to the suspension system. We recommend the suspension
adjustments are done equally on the left and right side of the
chair.
5.4 Joystick Module position:
The remote is mounted on a sliding mechanism which enables
the control to be moved forwards and backwards.
•
Undo the locking screw, (Fig.5.3).
•
Slide the control arm either out or to it's new position,
(Fig.5.4).
When the most comfortable position has been selected, secure
the slider by tightening the locking screw. Ensure the locking
screw is fully tightened prior to use and especially when
transporting your wheelchair.

5.5 Flip-Back Arm Rests:
The armrests on both sides of the wheelchair can be flipped
up to allow side transfer, (Fig. 5.5). For side transfer flip the
armrest all the way up until it goes into its mechanical stop.
This frees up space for side transfer. To bring the armrests
back into their position flip it all the way down until it sits on its
mechanical stop. Guide it downward, do not let it fall on its own.
