Disconnection/Operation
The drive motors may be disconnected so that the chair can be pushed without using the
electronics. Use the levers marked Operation – Disconnected.
Put the levers into the Operation position to prevent the chair from moving during transporta-
tion. This must be done on a level surface and the chair must be turned off.
Baeries
We conrm that Balder electric wheelchairs are supplied from the factory with batteries.
These are approved in accordance with International Air Transport Association (IATA): Packing
Instruction 872, Special Provision A67.
The batteries are marked with IATA labels.
If a situation should arise, however, when it is necessary to physically disconnect the power
supply from the battery terminals, it is done like this:
1. Drive the chair into the required position for transportation.
2. Turn off the chair.
3. Remove the locking pin so that the seat can be lifted. ( See sketch)
4. Remove the cover.
5. Remove the battery shoes and isolate them so that they cannot come
into physical contact with the battery terminals.
6. Place the battery shoes into the cavity behind the batteries.
7. Fit the cover.
8. Place the seat in the original position; put the locking pin in place on the lift motor.
Main circuit switch/fuse
The main circuit switch/fuse is located behind a cover at the right side of the chassis. It is
marked with circuit switch/main fuse and a voltage symbol. By sliding the cover (see picture)
you will have access to the fuse/braker. Push thelever up to engage. Press the switch to dis-
connect.
How to drive the wheelchair
Turn on the wheelchair with the on-off switch on the joystick. Adjust the electric functions for
optimum driving position. Move the joystick in the direction in which you wish the wheelchair
to go. The speed of movement of the wheelchair will increase in proportion to your move-
ment of the joystick. It has ve different driving programmes which are selected with the blue
programme selector. Prog. 1 is a slow driving programme which is suitable for beginners, as
well as for driving indoors or in other restricted spaces. Prog. 5 is a programme for fast driving
outdoors.
Fault indicators
A green lamp at the key symbol should be continuously lit. If the lamp blinks once, let the
chair stand for 10 seconds before turning it off and then on again. If the lamp blinks twice at
intervals, the speed limiter on the seat lift may be activated. This is not a fault but a safety
measure. See user manual or contact your nearest dealer for further assistance.
Before you drive
Read the enclosed User Manual. Check that the disconnection levers on the drive motors
of the wheelchair are set to the operating position. Turn on the wheelchair with the on-off
switch on the panel. Sit in the wheelchair and regulate the functions which can be regulated
