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
a power wheelchair.
The Eloflex power wheelchair is sufficiently compact and
flexible for indoor use, but the chair is also suitable for
outdoor use. The chapter ”Technical data” at the back of this
document 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 MDR 2017/745.
Class 1 conformity assessment / CE marking has been
issued in accordance with Annex VIII Chapter III of MDR
2017/745. Conformity assessment procedure: Annex II and
Annex III of MDR 2017/745.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
compensate 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
places 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
delivered 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
defective 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

user to quickly lower the joystick without
removing it. This means that you get
closer to the edge of the table, which
gives a better sitting position.
1. Lift the lock lever to release the joystick.
2. Gently pull the joystick forward.Then let
the joystick hang straight down.
Install the joystick
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.
IMPORTANT!
Be careful not to
damageor bend the
pins in the connector.

Manual driving
Turn off the power wheelchair with the
joystick. Then push the red levers on
the motors (see picture) to disconnect
the magnetic brakes. In this position,
the chair can be rolled manually.
Note! If the user uses the chair without
assistance, the magnetic lock of the
chair must always be switched on.
ON OFF
IMPORTANT!
NEVER connect
the charger directly
to the battery.
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 charging
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
batteries are fully charged. During
charging, the charger itself becomes
warm, and this is normal. Charging
instructions should take place for about
Charging instructions
five hours when the bar on the battery
indicator at the joystick has dropped
three lines.
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 %.

For optimal seating comfort, you can
adjust the height of the armrests.
1. First release the lock by lifting the
lock lever.
2. Then raise or lower the armrests to
the desired height.
3. Lower the locking lever.
Adjust the armrests
For easier entry and exit, the footrest can be folded up as shown down below.

• 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 ventilated 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
Adjustment of the Locking Mechanism
It’s important that the locking
mechanism on your Eloflex chair moves
with resistance when pulled up and
down. It should be difficult enough to
stay in an upright position on its own.
This is crucial to ensure that the locking
mechanism remains securely in its
locked position even when the springs
are compressed.
To make the locking mechanism move
with more resistance, you only need
to tighten the fastener with the two
hex screws that secure the locking
mechanism in place.
It’s important
that the locking
mechanism
moves with
resistance up
and down to prevent it from
opening when using the chair.
• When transporting by flight, please
check with your airway company.
Eloflex follows the recommendation
of IATA.

DRIVING
There is a risk of injury by tipping the wheelchair.
• Only drive in inclines that do not exceed the
maximum 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
recommended maximum height
• Avoid rapid movements with the joystick and
sudden 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
passages.
• 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

15
Driving
Read
The user must read these safety and driving
instructions before using the Eloflex power
wheelchair.
Practice
Practice makes perfect. Train to drive your Eloflex together
with an assistant by starting on an open plan surface,
preferably 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.
Reverse
Reverse by moving the joystick slowly backwards.
To stop, release the joystick. Remember to always look
backwards before you start reversing to be sure that no
person or thing is in the way.
Spin
Spin by moving the joystick gently sideways. Take care so
nothing is in the way of the sides when you spin.
Turn
Turn as you drive by gently moving the joystick sideways in
the same direction you want to turn. Always lower the speed
when turning.
Obstacle
Practice avoiding and passing obstacles. Move the joystick
sideways while driving forward to avoid obstacles. Remember
to lower the speed as you approach obstacles.
Fast 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 approaching an obstacle
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 obstacles
Eloflex is tested and approved for obstacles up to a maximum
of 6 cm.
Run on slope
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 possible 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.
Elevators
Remember to check the width of the elevator door and how
quickly the door is closed before 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
Driving on the road
Drive primarily on sidewalks, walkways and cycle paths and,
ultimately, on busy roadways with your Eloflex.
Cross the roadway
if possible, always choose to cross the road at a pedestrian
crossing. Pay attention to intersecting cars. Use chamfered
part of the pavement if available.
Avoid curbs higher than 6 cm.
