3. Operating Instructions

3.1. As an Electric Wheelchair

When using the device as an electric wheelchair, ensure the battery is fully charged. This mode is ideal for longer distances and provides independent mobility.

  1. Sit comfortably on the seat and fasten the safety belt.
  2. Turn on the power using the button on the joystick controller.
  3. Use the joystick to control direction and speed. Pushing the joystick forward moves the wheelchair forward, pulling back moves it backward, and moving it left or right steers the chair.
  4. Release the joystick to engage the electromagnetic brakes, which will stop the wheelchair immediately, even on inclines.
  5. The maximum speed is 3.7 miles/h. The electric power assists in climbing slopes and steps.

3.2. As a Rollator Walker

To use as a rollator walker, remove the footrests if desired. This mode provides walking support and stability.

  1. Ensure the footrests are either removed or folded away if not needed for walking.
  2. Adjust the handle height to a comfortable position for walking.
  3. The device features speed control and power assist functions. In resistance mode (01-03), if walking speed becomes too fast, an automatic deceleration brake activates to prevent falls.
  4. In forward mode (C1-C3), holding the assist button facilitates easy climbing of steps up to approximately 3.9 inches.
  5. When going uphill, the assist function helps with movement. When going downhill, automatic deceleration ensures safety.
