INTRODUCTION ACCEPTANCE ASSEMBLY The "POWER PRIMUS II" Electronic Wheelchair, Model 2.432, is ideal for persons who require maximum mobility in extremely confined spaces. This applies, for example, to the home, the office and also to rooms that you visit in your leisure time. This is what the wheelchair was designed for and where you can test its driving performance and special design features. This wheelchair concept is also entirely suitable for outdoor use.
GENERAL OVERVIEW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS POWER PRIMUS II, Model 2.432 The model shown in Fig. 1 is the standard version. All deviations are specified separately in this operating manual. Please also refer to S_01 - S_12 in the illustration section. Fig. 1 shows Model 2.432 Fig. 2 shows the control box No.
• Select a low final speed in driving situations which you do not feel comfortable with (e.g. operation in confined spaces or on hills, e.g. on ramps). • Operation of the wheelchair after removing the control box is only permitted when the therapy table is being lowered and raised! – Danger of accidents! • When getting into/out of the wheelchair, do not put any weight on the footrests. • Do not support yourself on the control box. • Only push the wheelchair on flat surfaces when shunting or in an emergency.
DRIVING BEHAVIOR A brief "familiarisation phase" of driver training is initially necessary to adapt the special driving features of an unfamiliar vehicle, be it wheelchair or car, to your personal circumstances. Drive with extreme caution during these first trips. Bearing this in mind, set the pre-selectable final speed to the lowest setting. Turn the dial (20) on the control box in an anticlockwise direction as far as possible, (see "Pre-Operation Checks).
DRIVING BEHAVIOR BRAKES Before performing maintenance work, dismantling/mounting parts or adjusting the settings on the wheelchair, push the brake release lever to the "drive" positionand switch off the control box! – Accident risk risk resulting from inadvertent movement of the wheelchair! The brakes are one of the most important safety features of a wheelchair. The POWER PRIMUS II is fitted as standard with two independently-operating braking systems.
PREPARING THE WHEELCHAIR FOR OPERATION Follow the instructions below in the stated order. 1. Shift to drive mode. Push the brake release lever forward into drive mode, (Fig. 3). Note! Do not switch to push mode when the wheelchair is in operation! 2. Check battery plug connection The battery plug for main power supply is in front of the battery cover under the crossbrace, (Fig.6). 3.
PRE-OPERATION CHECKS This can be highlighted by two examples: 1. Situation: Use in the home. Necessary setting: low maximum speed Incorrect setting: High maximum speed Consequence: Small movements of the joystick cause the wheelchair to set off at speed. The operator loses control in the confined space of the home. – Danger of accidents! 2. Situation: Crossing a road junction.
CONTROL BOX LEGRESTS Battery display • 1-10 LEDs (permanently illuminated), – operational, batteries fully charged. Attention: The legrests are adjustable and detachable parts and are not suitable as a means of lifting up or carrying the wheelchair (See warning on the side parts). • 1-8 LEDs (permanently illuminated), – ), full to medium battery capacity (operative range) • 1-6 LEDs (permanently illuminated), – medium to low battery capacity.
LEGRESTS Taking off the legrests Benefits: – Easy transfer into and out of the wheelchair. – Foot and side areas are free, no stumbling – Reduced length of the wheelchair important for storing wheelchair Handling: – Move the brake release lever into the "drive" position. – This prevents the wheelchair from rolling away accidentally. – Remove lower leg strap, if present. – Remove both feet from the foot plates – Fold up foot plates [6] (Fig.11). – Push locking lever (A) forward (Fig.
LEGRESTS ARMRESTS Continuous legrests Code 54 (Fig.18+19) The continuous legrests can be folded up to the side. The adjustment of height and angle is effected via the adjusting screws (A, Fig. 18). Depth adjustment is effected via the adjusting screws (B, Fig. 18). The armrests (3) generally have padded armrests. They are lockable and detachable, as well as adjustable in height, (Fig. 21). Legrests for amputees Code 52 (Fig.58+59) Functions and procedure identical to standard legrests.
ARMRESTS BACKREST Benefits: – Simple adjustment to suit your personal requirements – Reduces muscle tension in the shoulder region through individual fitting – If a seat cushion is used, the armrests can be adapted to the new seating level. Removing the back – Loosen the screws via hand wheel (A, Fig. 26) – Lift up the back (Fig. 27) Handling: – Loosen adjustment screw (A, Fig. 25). – Position the armrest at the required height (but no higher than the guiding mark).
SEAT BELT PUSH MODE FOLDING/UNFOLDING The seat (4) can be folded up to enable better access to the battery holder (folding/unfolding the wheelchair) (Fig. 31). The POWER PRIMUS II can also be switched to push mode. The electronic wheelchair has a considerably higher weight than conventional wheelchairs (motor, batteries). This means that higher pushing and steering force are necessary. POWER PRIMUS II is also collapsible for car transportation (Fig. 37).
FOLDING/UNFOLDING Lifting out the battery holder: 7) Release the battery holder locking mechanism (A, Fig. 45). – To carry this out, pull back the hand wheel (A) on the relevant locking mechanism, then turn it by 90° to secure the now open locking mechanism. 8) Lift out the battery holder to the back (Fig. 46). – First lift the back part of the battery holder out of the guide rails. Care is needed due to the small bearing surface on the front support plates.
SAFETY BELT Code 833 The purpose of the safety belt is to strap in the wheelchair user. Benefits: – Additional stabilization of the sitting position. – Prevents user from falling forward out of the wheelchair (depending on degree of disability). – Continuous adjustment to suit the user’s needs. Note! Subsequent fitting of a safety belt may only be undertaken by your specialist dealer. Both ends of the belt are screwed onto the side of the frame with a brakket.
LOADING AND TRANSPORTATION OF THE WHEELCHAIR Your wheelchair should be loaded with the aid of ramps or lifting equipment. Observe the following safety instructions. • Observe the section of this operating manual entitled "Safety Instructions". • The operating manual of the transport vehicle • The manufacturer's instructions on the ramp or lifting equipment.
SERVICE Maintenance Like any other technical product, your POWER PRIMUS II requires maintenance. The following maintenance instruction table shows the measures to be implemented so that you can fully enjoy the benefits of your wheelchair for a long time to come (e.g. operating safety, high kilometric performance). Note: Do not clean the wheelchair using a high-pressure cleaner – Danger of short circuit! Water jets can cause damage to the electronics and the control box.
BATTERIES Charging via the battery charger: – Insert the battery charger plug (A, Fig. 56) into the control box. – Insert the mains plug of the battery charger into an appropriate mains socket. The battery is now charging. Note! Do not insert any objects other than the supplied charging plug into the battery charger.
SERVICE LIGHTING CODE 932 Before replacing a faulty bulb, turn off the light and pull out connector plug (B, Fig. 62). Headlight setting The headlights should be set in such a way that the light cone is visible on the road. – The lower edge of the light cone should be set at distance of 3 meters to the front of the wheelchair. Tools: screwdriver – Loosen fastening screws C and -– set headlights (Fig. 63) -– tighten fastening screws.
SERVICE MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS WHEN WHAT REMARK Before starting out Test brakes for faultless operation Move the brake release lever (11) to drive mode. It should now be impossible to push the wheelchair. If this is not the case, have the magnetic brakes repaired by an authorised specialist workshop.
SERVICE FUSES Replacing a defective safety fuse Lighting fuse The supplementary box contains the following fuse (E, Fig. 60): Main safety fuse for the battery circuit: – 4A ø5x20 mm fine-wire fuse (glass tube). Blade-type electric fuse: The blade-type electric fuses for the battery power supply are inserted in the appropriate fuse holder on the battery cover (Fig. 57). Before replacing the fuse remove connector plug (B, Fig. 62).
TECHNICAL DATA Kilometric performance Kilometric performance depends to a large extent on the following factors: – – – – – – – battery charging status weight of the user driving speed driving style road surface condition driving conditions ambient temperature.
