Thanks and good luck!
Thank you for choosing an Eloflex as your power wheelchair. It means a lot to us because
our vision is to make people’s everyday life a little easier and to give people with disabilities
a greater freedom. We hope you experience both with the help of your Eloflex.
We believe that you will enjoy much of your new power wheelchair. This manual contains
important information on safety, use and care. We encourage you to read through this enti-
re documentation before using your Eloflex for the first time. We also suggest that you train
to run your Eloflex on a secluded, open and level surface before using it in other contexts.
Eloflex power wheelchair is designed for users with many different needs. Decide whether
Eloflex is suitable for the user is always taken by the ordinator or dealer together with the
user himself. Eloflex accepts no responsibility for cases where the power wheelchair is not
adapted to the user’s needs.
An Eloflex should primarily be used in its standard design. If the power wheelchair has to
be adapted or altered in any way, it must only be carried out by your assistant center or by
Eloflex. Please note that damages and faults caused by non-compliance with the opera-
ting instructions or due to poor maintenance are not covered by the warranty.
Good luck and great joy with your Eloflex.
Drive carefully!

Type classification and intended use
Eloflex power wheelchairs have been developed for people
who have difficulty walking or cannot walk at all, but who
have vision ability, physical ability and mental ability to control
an power wheelchair.
The Eloflex power wheelchair is sufficiently compact and flex-
ible for indoor use, but the chair is also suitable for outdoor
use. The chapter ”Technical data” at the back of this docu-
ment contains information on speed, turning radius, range,
maximum lifting capacity and maximum weight for the user
and so on. We encourage you to read all safety information in
the chapter ”Safety” in this document.
Eloflex is tested and approved according to EN12184: 2014
- class B (indoor and outdoor use). Eloflex is also approved
according to ISO-7176, IEC60601 and the batteries are
approved according to UN38.3.
Eloflex power wheelchairs meet the applicable requirements
of the Medical Devices Act (1993: 584) and the regulations
(LVFS 2003: 11 and LVFS 222009: 18) on medical devices.
The product thus fulfills the requirements of the EC directive
on medical devices, 93/42 / EEC and 22007/47 / EC.
Class 1 conformity assessment / CE marking has been
issued in accordance with the Medical Directive 93/42 EEG /
MPG (Medical Devices Act) and applies only to the complete
product. The CE marking will be void if you use replacement
components or accessories that have not been approved for
this product.
Needs
The purpose of an Eloflex power wheelchair is to compensa-
te for an injury or disability, which is why it is recommended in
the following circumstances:
• If the user has the inability to walk or very limited ability
to walk, which makes it difficult to move in his / her own
home.
• If there is a need to leave the home to get out or to visit pla-
ces that are normally visited in order to carry out everyday
affairs.
• When the user has difficulty getting to, or performing work
or activities because of his / her mobility disabilities.
It is advisable to use Eloflex power wheelchairs both indoors
and outdoors, if it is not possible to use hand-operated
wheelchairs due to mobility problems, but it is still possible to
properly handle power wheelchairs.
Accessories
Chargers and bag with simpler tools are available when deliv-
ered in the storage bag under the seat.
Utility
Only use the Eloflex power wheelchair when fully functional.
Otherwise you put yourself and others at risk. The following
list does not include all possible situations. It describes only
certain situations that may affect the usability of the power
wheelchair.
• Do not use the power wheelchair if the batteries are defec-
tive or deformed
• Do not use the power wheelchair if the engine is jerky or
makes abnormal noise
• Do not use the power wheelchair if the brake function
appears to be wrong
• If your tires are worn, contact your assistant center or
dealer
• If you notice any damage to the seat belt, armrest, seat,
backrest, joystick or other part of the chair, contact your
assistant center or dealer.
• If you notice any damage to the electrical system (cables,
batteries, chargers, etc.), please contact your assistant
center or dealer.
Warranty
You always have a two-year warranty on your Eloflex power
wheelchair. The warranty conditions are in line with the appli-
cable national and general terms and conditions and rules
and regulations. The detailed warranty conditions can be
downloaded at www.eloflex.eu. Note that you should save
the original carton for your Eloflex during the warranty period
(the carton can be folded together and set aside).
Life span
The estimated lifetime of an Eloflex is 5 years. However, the
life of the product is largely affected by how it is used and
managed. An Eloflex can have a much longer life if you take
care of it in a good way and only use it in line with the infor-
mation in this document.

IMPORTANT!
NEVER
connect
the charger
directly to
the battery.
Install the joystick control
This is how you charge
Start by turning off your Eloflex (all lights
on the joystick should be off). Connect
the charger to the socket on the front
of the joystick. Make sure that the
contacts’ position matches each other.
Then plug the charger’s power cable
into a wall outlet.
Charging is indicated by a lamp on the
charger. Red lamp means that char-
ging is in progress. After about three
hours, the batteries are charged at 90
percent. The chair can now be used
again.
After about 5-8 hours, the light on the
charger becomes green and the batte-
ries are fully charged. During charging,
the charger itself becomes warm, and
this is normal.
For maximum battery life, charging
Charging instructions
should take place for about five hours
when the bar on the battery indicator
at the joystick has dropped to one third
(when three of the lights are green).
The batteries will not be damaged by
maintenance charges but for maximum
battery lifespan we recommend that
you disconnect the charger when the
batteries are fully charged.
Charging the batteries can be done
down to -10 degrees. When charging
in lower temperatures, the batteries will
not get fully charged.
If your Eloflex is used in minus degrees,
the mileage is affected. For example,
at -10 degrees, the mileage can be
reduced by up to 50%.
Step 1
Mount the joystick in the tube under the
armrest and tighten the screw in the
desired position.
Step 2
Assemble the cable connectors and
gently rotate until the pins enter the
holes and the grooves in the two
connectors engage. Then screw the
sleeves together on each contact.
Be careful
not to
damage
or bend the
pins in the connector.

lock can be tensioned or released.
Step 1
Remove the black plastic cover from
the two nuts.
Step 2
Tighten the nut on the springs while
holding the washer under the spring
with a tool.
It is important that the lock on your Eloflex
is tight to pull up and down. It should go
so slowly that it can stand straight out
by itself as in the picture above. This is
important for the lock to stay in its locked
position even if the springs are pressed
together. To make the lock more tight, you
just need to tighten the bracket with the
two hex screws that hold the lock in place.

• To lift the chair, it is recommended that the chair is first folded.
• A folded chair can be put in the luggage of a car or set in a
wardrobe.
• If the chair is not to be used for a while, we recommend that
the batteries be fully charged before the chair is set aside.
• The chair should be stored indoors in frost-free, dry and venti-
lated areas. Storage temperature 0-30 degrees.
• When transporting by bus or by handicap transportation, the
Eloflex must be attached to the fastening points shown in the
pictures at the bottom. Note that Eloflex is not tested as a car
seat. We therefore always recommend that the user moves
over to the car’s own seats.
Transport and storage

11
Eloflex cover
Our cover bag is the perfect accessory for
those who want to take extra good care of their
chair during transport, when checking in on the
flight or loading the car. The bag is black and
made of durable nylon fabric. You apply the
bag over the chair when the chair is folded and
attach it under the seat with Velcro. It comes
with two handles.
Accessories
Eloflex attendant control
Our attendant control feature consists of an
arm and bracket that allows you to mount the
joystick on the backrest of your Eloflex. With att-
endant control, those walking behind or beside
can drive the power wheelchair with a joystick
– an ideal and much appreciated feature for the
elderly and for certain medical conditions.
Adjustable footrest
Now there is an adjustable footrest for Eloflex
power wheelchairs. Double fasteners allow
the foot plate to be mounted in two different
positions and thus extend the distance by
about 5 cm between the foot plate and the pad.
Perfect for those with a bit longer legs than
average. Eloflex footrests have calf support, an
anti-slip plate and an edge to keep the heel in
place.
Eloflex headrest
The headrest makes your Eloflex more perso-
nalized and useful, even for those requiring a
little extra support for the head and neck. The
headrest has great settings and can be adap-
ted to each individual’s and needs, thanks to
its clever mounting system. With a headrest on
your Eloflex, you get an even more comfortable
sitting and driving position.

DRIVING
There is a risk of injury by tipping the wheelchair.
• Only drive in inclines that do not exceed the maxi-
mum allowable slope
• Always use anti-tippers when traveling with Eloflex
• Driving downhill should always be done at a lower
speed
• Avoid areas where there is a risk of icy or slippery
surfaces
• Never try to drive up or down stairs with your power
wheelchair
• Never drive over obstacles higher than the recom-
mended maximum height
• Avoid rapid movements with the joystick and sud-
den changes in driving direction while driving
Risk of being stuck in remote places.
• A user with greatly reduced mobility should not
drive longer distances outdoors alone
Risk of injury if one foot slips off the footrest and falls under
the powered wheelchair while driving.
• Always place your feet in the middle of the footrest
while driving
Risk of injury if you collide with other objects in narrow passa-
ges.
• Drive through narrow passages with the lowest
speed and greatest attention
There is a risk that the wheelchair will tip over if the anti-tip
devices are removed, damaged or mounted at a position that
deviates from the standard mounting.
• The anti-tip devices must always be mounted when
the power wheelchair is used
• The anti-tip devices only work on a solid surface.
On soft surfaces such as lawns and snow, the
anti-tip device can lose its effect. Therefore, drive
extremely carefully on soft surfaces
Safety instructions when driving
Note that the information marked with these
symbols is extra important. If the instructions are
not followed, there is a risk of an accident or your
Eloflex will be damaged.

14
Driving
The user must read
these safety and driving
instructions before using
the Eloflex power wheel-
chair.
• Spin by moving the joystick
gently sideways.
Take care so nothing is in the
way of the sides when you
spin.
• Practice makes perfect. Train
to drive your Eloflex together
with an assistant by starting on
an open plan surface, prefera-
bly outdoors, before using your
power wheelchair among other
people, in stores or restaurants
etc.
• Move forward by moving the
joystick slowly forward.
• Stop by releasing the joystick.
• Turn as you drive by gently
moving the joystick sideways in
the same direction you want to
turn.
Always lower the speed when
turning.
• Reverse by moving the joystick
slowly backwards. To stop, re-
lease the joystick. Remember to
always look backwards before
you start reversing to be sure
that no person or thing is in the
way.
• Practice avoiding and passing
obstacles. Move the joystick
sideways while driving forward
to avoid obstacles.
Remember to lower the speed
as you approach obstacles.

Driving
• Fast driving
Press the joystick in the forward
position if you want to drive fast.
Remember to retract the
joystick and lower the speed
as soon as you feel insecure,
whether you are turning or app-
roaching an obstacle.
• Using the elevator
Remember to check the width
of the elevator door and how
quickly the door is closed befo-
re you enter the lift.
Keep in mind that you may
have to reverse out of the lift if it
is not large enough to allow you
to turn around
• Run over obstacles
Drive slowly to the obstacle and
make sure the front wheels are
in the direction of travel. Then
move the joystick slowly forward
while leaning backwards to
drive over the obstacle.
Eloflex is tested and approved
for obstacles up to a maximum
of 6 cm.
• Driving on the road.
Drive primarily on sidewalks,
walkways and cycle paths and,
ultimately, on busy roadways
with your Eloflex.
• Driving on slopes. Try driving
straight up or down for an
inclined surface. Lean slightly
forward as you drive up, and
backwards as you drive down,
to maintain the center of gravity.
Avoid driving sideways if pos-
sible and compensate for any
side slope by leaning in the
opposite direction. Always drive
slowly on slopes. Avoid surfaces
that tilt more than 9 degrees.
• Crossing the roadway.
If possible, always choose to
cross the road at a pedestrian
crossing. Pay attention to inter-
secting cars.
Use chamfered part of the
pavement if available.
Avoid curbs higher than 6 cm.

are impaired due to, for example, illness, medica-
tion or alcohol.
There is a risk of injury if the power wheelchair is involuntarily
moved.
• Switch off the wheelchair before boarding and ex-
iting or if there is a risk that you, another person or
an object could come in contact with the joystick
• When the motors are disengaged, the brakes do
not work. Therefore, the wheelchair must only be
pushed on flat ground, never on slopes. Never
leave the wheelchair in or near slopes with disen-
gaged motors.
There is a risk of personal injury if the powered wheelchair is
switched off during travel with, for example, the on / off button
or by tearing off a cable, as it stops with a hard jerk.

cy. Then the wheelchair stops automatically.
There is a risk of injury due to falls from the wheelchair
• Do not move forward, do not bend forward
between the knees and do not lean over the whe-
elchair edge, for example to reach objects.
• Always use a seat belt and re-adjust it before each
trip.
• Drive as close to the new seat as possible when
transferring to another seat.
There is a risk of personal injury if the maximum permissible
load is exceeded.
• Observe the maximum permissible load (see chap-
ter ”Technical data” at the back of this document).
• The power wheelchair may only be used by a sing-
le person. Never use the wheelchair to transport
more than one person at a time.
There is a risk of personal injury and damage to the whe-
elchair if the lock is released when folding is not properly
clamped when the power wheelchair is used.
