Push Mode on Level Ground

If possible, get out of the wheelchair before it is pushed. This minimises the risk of injury to you and others.

Push mode with retracted tracks (drive mode)

If an error occurs when the tracks are retracted (drive mode position), the wheelchair will tip forwards or backwards slightly. It can then be pushed out of the way on its main wheels.

  1. Power the wheelchair off using the main switch at the back (see Figure 4, “Labelling of main switch and brake release”)

  2. Ask an assistant to raise the wheelchair with one hand on the backrest so that the wheelchair only stands on the main wheels.

  3. The assistant should press the brake release button with their other hand (see Figure 4, “Labelling of main switch and brake release”.

  4. The wheelchair can now be moved by applying gentle pressure with one hand on the backrest and with the other hand on the brake release button.

Push mode with extended tracks (park mode)

If the tracks are extended (park mode position), the wheelchair can be pulled backwards by an assistant.

  1. Power the wheelchair off using the main switch at the back (see Figure 4, “Labelling of main switch and brake release”)

  2. Ask an assistant to pull the wheelchair backwards with both hands on the back support (the brake release button does not need to be pressed).

  3. This enables the wheelchair to be moved on the support system wheels.

Caution on thresholds

Do not allow yourself to be pulled down over thresholds. The wheelchair could topple over backwards. If going over a threshold cannot be avoided, warn the person assisting you that they may have to support the wheelchair from behind if it tips backwards. If necessary, ask additional people for assistance.

Push mode with extended tracks (track mode)

If you are stuck in track mode, it will be extremely difficult to move the wheelchair. Try switching to another mode. If this is not possible, three people are needed to push you:

  1. Power the wheelchair off using the main switch at the back (see Figure 4, “Labelling of main switch and brake release”)

  2. Person 1: Press the brake release button on the back of the wheelchair (see Figure 4, “Labelling of main switch and brake release”)

  3. Person 2 and 3: turn the main wheels by hand. This way, through the transmission, the tracks are also moved and the wheelchair can be brought to another position or oriented in a different direction.
