5. Construction
Cobi Cruise Power is constructed from type-S355,
high-tensile steel. The rectangular steel profiles of
the chair form the basis for its base frame. The
base frame is made up of two mirror-inverted
parts (a right and a left part) connected by a
centre module. This structure allows the sides to
be reused if the width needs changing.
The seat frame of the wheelchair consists of
30x30x2 mm high-tensile steel profiles. In
addition, the seat frame has a 2 mm steel seat
plate attached to it, which helps to distribute the
pressure in the best possible way.
The back of the wheelchair consists of a high-
tensile steel profile. The profile is positioned
centrally on the back of the wheelchair. The angle
of the profile means that the back supports both
apple-shaped and the pear-shaped users. Three
back plates are mounted on the profile. The back
plates are curved to hug and support the user
from buttocks to neck.
Curved back plates support and hug the user from
buttocks to neck.
Pear-shaped users with voluminous backsides are
ensured good back support, as the design of the
"spine" of the wheelchair and its lower back plate
provide space for the backside.
The upper two back plates ensure that apple-
shaped users enjoy stable and comfortable back
support.
The back cushion is divided into nine modules,
which are sewn together into one large cushion.
All nine modules consist of two parts. A firm foam
layer and layer with a mixture of polystyrene
(Krøyer) beads and latex foam.
The foam layer faces the back of the wheelchair
while the bead and foam layer is the one sat on
by the user. The bead and foam mixture is
modular and helps to increase the comfort of the
wheelchair and its pressure relieving effect.
Each of the nine back
cushion modules of the
back cushion consists
of a firm foam layer
and a layer of Krøyer
beads and latex foam.
The back cushion is
made up of nine
modules sewn into one
large cushion.
The contents of in each cushion module can be
adjusted. This means that, according to
professional assessment, the therapist or care
staff can add or remove Krøyer beads and latex
foam. If necessary, a wedge cushion can also be
inserted in one or more modules. The cushion
contents are adjusted via the nine zippers located
on the back of the cushion.
The modular cushion follows the shape of the
back plates and, thus, ensures correct support
regardless of user body shape and needs.
The modular cushion can be finely adjusted using
a patented FitGo system known from ski boots
and work shoes. The FitGo system is located on
the back plates.
The FitGo system comprises an adjusting knob. The
button is activated when pressed. If the button is to
be loosened, pull it upwards and the cord pull is
then released.
The FitGo system should only be adjusted by care staff
as improper pressure distribution may harm the user.

The base of the seat cushion consists of hard foam.
The core of the seat cushion consists of memory
foam specially selected for the target group.
The top consists of soft foam. The seat cushion is
upholstered with a flame retardant incontinence
cover.
5.1 The seat cushion
Extra-long armrests (615 mm) ensure stability and a
good grip when the user moves from a standing to
a sitting position or vice versa.
The armrests can swivel back, making it easier to
move the user from e.g., the chair to the bed. The
arm rests can also be pushed down making it
possible to move the wheelchair closer to the edge
of a table, allowing the user to participate in social
activities there.
The armrests are padded for extra comfort and
”cup-shaped" thus reducing the risk of pressure
ulcers. Each armrest can withstand a maximum
load of up to 200 kg.
Caution: The user may fall out of the wheelchair if the
arm rest is pushed back
.
5.2 Arm rests
The seat cushion is made up of three different types of foam.
Extra-long and strong arm rests.
Swivelling arms rests allow positioning near a table.
The leg rests of the wheelchair are an option. The
leg rests each support up to 200 kg and are
adjustable in both height and position. They also
have a swivel function that allows easier access to
and from the wheelchair.
The angle of the foot plates, the height/angle of
the leg rest and the angle of the calf plates can be
adjusted without tools.
The position of the foot and calf plates is adjusted
using a 13 mm closed spanner. The closed spanner
is not included in the purchase of leg rests.
The flexibility of the leg rests means that the
user's legs can always be supported. This benefit,
inter alia, users with a significant tissue on their
inner thighs.
The leg rests may be removed without the use of
tools without affecting stability.
Do not use the leg rests when getting in and out.
5.4 Leg rests
Leg rests each supporting up to 200 kg.
The leg rests can be dismantled without using tools.
The push bar is flexible and adjustable, using a
click system. Major adjustments can be made with
tools. The bar has several grip points, depending
on whether the chair is to be pushed or
manoeuvred.
Ensure that the handlebar is in place.

Cobi Cruise Power is equipped with 12,5” massive
tyres in grey nylon rubber that does not mark
floors. The tyres are mounted on aluminium rims.
5.6 Wheels
A universal neck support bracket permits the
installation of several types of neck supports.
The brake of the Cobi Cruise Power is integrated
into the motor. This means that when the joystick

The control box is installed on the base plate.
Dismantling the control box requires tools, but
should only be undertaken by Cobi Rehab service
engineers.
The electronics are IPX4-classified. This means
that the wheelchair and its components can
withstand a light rainfall.
The electronics of the wheelchair does not disturb
the operation of units in the surrounding
environment which emit electromagnetic fields,
e.g. alarm systems in shops, automated doors, etc.
The running characteristics of the wheelchair do
not affect electromagnetic fields emitted by e.g.
laptops and electricity generators.
5.11 Control box
Cobi Cruise Power is installed with anti-tip that
can be adjusted to suit the terrain. Only remove

6. Electric tilt-in-space and recline
Negative tilt helps the independent user in safely
getting in and out of the wheelchair. Negative tilt
means that the front of the seat cushion is
lowered. This reduces the access height which, in
turn, makes getting in and out easier for the
independent user. The function negative tilt is
activated using the joystick.
Recline provides the apple-shaped user with
supported and comfortable seating. When the
back of the wheelchair is tilted backwards, the
pelvis of the user is automatically opened. This
provides improved respiration for apple-shaped
users. The recline function is controlled using the
same joystick as for the electric tilt-in-space
function.
Erroneous use of the tilt-in-space and recline functions
can lead to the user experiencing respiratory difficulties,
including users with impaired cognition.
Using the negative tilt function may cause the user to
slide forward.
The supplied joystick allows care staff and user to
manoeuvre the wheelchair and to adjust the angle
of the seat and back (tilt-in-space and recline).
The joystick is installed on the supplied swivel
bracket and can be positioned on either the inside
or the outside of the arm rest.
Risk of crushing fingers in the joystick swivel bracket.
An extra joystick controlling the same functions
can be installed on the handlebar. This joystick
can also determine who controls the wheelchair.
In this way, the user’s option of controlling it can
be activated or deactivated.
Do not allow users with involuntary movements to
operate a joystick.
6.1 Joystick
The joystick has:
•
An on/off button
•
A button with a horn
•
A display showing the battery capacity,
time, speed and travel mode
•
two buttons marked Mode and Profile
•
a twin button for controlling speed.
Display
The battery capacity is displayed at the top. Avoid
travelling long distances on low battery capacity.
At the bottom, a number between 1 and 3 is
displayed. The number indicates the travel mode,
where 1 is manoeuvring, 2 is indoor and 3 is outdoor.
Each travel mode has five speed increments. The
speed in kilometres is displayed above the five speed
increments. The speed is displayed in numbers and
illustrated with a speedometer.
Profile switches between travel modes 1 to 3.
Press Mode to switch between travel and seat and
back adjustment. Use the up-down movement of the
joystick to control the tilt-in-space function. Switch
between the tilt-in-space and recline function by
moving the joystick right or left.

The wheelchair system is switched on using the on/off button on the joystick. When the system is switched on, it
is possible to travel and adjust the seat and back.
The control box for travel is installed underneath
the seat plate. The wheelchair can reach a speed
of up to 6 km/h. The maximum range is approx. 9
km at full load. The theoretical manoeuvring
distance is 3.9 km at full load.
The wheelchair can traverse edges and doorsteps
of up to 50 mm. Cobi Cruise Power is also built to
be able to drive up and down hills and ramps of a
10° incline. For the user, it means freedom to get
around both indoor and outdoor.
Max incline of ground is 10°.
When driving on sloping ground, drive as straight as
possible.
7. Travel
When the user is placed in the wheelchair for the
first time, the need for extra filling in the various
back modules must be professionally assessed. If
extra filling is needed, move the user out of the
wheelchair, after which professionally trained staff
adds or removes filling from the cushions in
question.
If additional support is needed, a wedge system
can be used. This assessment is made by
professionally trained staff during the actual
adjustment.
