Push the joystick in the direction you want to go. The further you push it, the faster the speed will be. Releasing the joystick will automatically engage the brakes and stop the Powerchair. 8. Charging Port: This is the primary charging port for the 6Runner. When using this charging port only plug into this port with the qualified Shoprider charger certified by the original manufacturer of the Powerchair. This port should not be used as a power supply for any other electrical devices. Doing either of these as stated above will void the warranty of the Powerchair. Note: The controller can be fitted to suit either right or left-handed users. Please contact your provider for further assistance. 3/28/2008 12 Locking/Unlocking the VSI Joystick ****PLEASE NOTE**** LOCK MODE: The VSI controller may be programmed to have a lock mode function enabled to prevent unauthorized use. The locking method is achieved through a sequence of key presses and joystick movements, as detailed below. To lock Powerchair controller: • While the controller is switched on, depress and hold the on/off button. • After 1 second the controller will bleep. Now release the on/off button. • Push the joystick forward until the controller bleeps. • Push the joystick in reverse until the controller bleeps. • Release the joystick, there will be a long bleep. • The Powerchair controller is now locked.

The maximum speed/profile indicator will be rippling up and down. • Push the joystick forward until the controller bleeps. • Push the joystick in reverse until the controller bleeps. • Release the joystick, there will be a long bleep. • The Powerchair is now unlocked. SLEEP MODE: If the controller is left on and not used for more than ten minutes, the controller will automatically “go to sleep”. This is recognized by a slow intermittent flash of the battery indicator lights. Simply turn the controller off and back on to reset. Always leave the chair in drive mode. The freewheel option is there only to allow the chair to be pushed manually when the need arises (i.e., to store or push unit out of a tight space). Following the sticker picture put each lever in the direction of the person sitting down driving the chair. 3/28/2008 13 The Powerchair will not function while the drive mechanism is disengaged (in freewheel). Both left and right sides must be in drive mode for power chair to operate. Otherwise the Powerchair motors will spin, but the unit will not move, until both freewheel levers are engaged. Unit will spin in circles if only one side is in drive mode. *** DO NOT PUT INTO DRIVE MODE WHILE MOTORS ARE SPINNING **** 6Runner – 888WNLM, 888WNLLHD & 858WM The drive/freewheel levers are found toward the rear of the Powerchair on 888WNLM and 888WNLLHD (Figure 4A). On the 858WM freewheel levers are located under the front part of the seat (Figure 4B), both have yellow colored handles. These levers will allow you to disengage the drive mechanism (When the levers are pulled out away from the unit) the Powerchair is in freewheel mode. ***NOTE*** the VSI will not work in Freewheel mode. When the levers are pushed in (towards the inside of the unit) the motors are engaged and the powerchair is in drive mode. FIGURE 4A FIGURE 4B Sticker will also help indicate in which position the brakes are locked or unlocked.

It is of the utmost importance that the following points are observed: Driving Your Shoprider PowerchairRamps, Slopes and Cambers 1. Never attempt to go up or down an incline which has a rough, wet or slippery surface (loose gravel, tree roots, wet grass, polished floor, etc.) 2. Always approach an incline head on, not at an angle 3. Always travel at a speed that you are comfortable with and that you feel in complete control 4. Avoid sudden or erratic action with the joystick 5. Always have the reclining seat in the most upright position when driving up an incline 6. When riding along in a straight line you may experience “veering to one side”. This is due to the natural camber in the construction of the pavement. To correct this you simply have to steer slightly against it, as you continue to move forward 3/28/2008 15 Caring for Your Shoprider 6Runner PowerchairFirst Time Use Prior to using your Powerchair for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours. Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency and battery life. Tires Since your tires are flat free tires, there is no need to ever worry about tire air-pressure. When tread is worn, it is highly recommended to replace tires. 3/28/2008 16 General Maintenance and Lubrication • Inspection ...
