Read this documentation before using your Eloex

to make sure that you use it in a manner that is safe,

and which does not harm you, your environment or

your power wheelchair.

ENGLISH

Thank you and good luck!

Thank you for choosing an Eloﬂex as your aid. It means a lot to us because our vision is

to make peoples’ everyday lives a little easier and to give people with mobility impairments

more freedom. We hope you experience both with the help of your Eloﬂex.

We think you will be very pleased with your new power wheelchair. This user manual

contains important information on safety, use and care. We urge you to read this entire

documentation before using your Eloﬂex for the ﬁrst time. We also suggest that you practice

driving your Eloﬂex on a separate, open and ﬂat surface before using it in other contexts.

The Eloﬂex power wheelchair is designed for users with many different needs. The

decision as to whether Eloﬂex is suitable for the user is always made by the prescriber or

retailer together with the user. Eloﬂex assumes no responsibility for cases where the power

wheelchair is not adapted to the user's needs.

An Eloﬂex should primarily be used in its standard version. If the electric wheelchair needs

to be adapted or changed in any way, it may only be carried out by your centre for assistive

devices or by Eloﬂex. Please note that damage and errors that occur due to not following

the instructions for use or due to poor maintenance are not covered by the warranty.

Good luck and lots of pleasure with your Eloﬂex.

Drive carefully!

or to visit the places that are normally visited to carry out

everyday tasks.

• When the user has difﬁculty getting to, or performing work

or activities due to their mobility impairment.

It is suitable to use Eloﬂex power wheelchairs both indoors

and outdoors, if it is not possible to use manually operated

wheelchairs due to mobility problems, but it is still possible to

operate electrically operated wheelchairs in a correct way.

Accessories

Charger and bag with simple tools are available on delivery in

the storage bag under the seat.

IMPORTANT!

NEVER connect the

charger directly to

the battery.

This is how you charge

Start by turning off your Eloﬂex. Plug

the charger into the socket on the front

of the joystick. Ensure that the position

of the contacts match each other.

Theninsert the charger's power cable

into a wall outlet.

Charging is indicated by a light on the

charger. Red light means charging is in

progress. After about three hours, the

batteries are charged to 90 percent.

The chair can now be used again.

After about 5-8 hours, the light on the

charger turns green and the batteries

are fully charged. During charging, the

charger itself gets warm, and this is

completely normal.

Charging instruction

For maximum battery life, charging

should take place for approximately

ﬁve hours when the bar on the battery

indicator on the display has gone

down three bars. The batteries are not

damaged by maintenance charging, but

for maximum useful life we recommend

that you disconnect the charger when

the batteries are fully charged.

Charging the batteries can take place

down to -10 degrees. When charging in

lower temperatures, the batteries will not

be fully charged. If your Eloﬂex is used

at freezing temperatures, the mileage

will be affected. At -10 degrees, for

example, mileage can be reduced by

up to 50%.
