Introduction
This manual contains servicing instructions for the MC 1144
Child .
The Service Manual is a supplement to our Spare Parts Cata-
logue and User Manual.
You are now the owner of an electric mobility wheelchair devel-
oped for use indoors as well as outdoors. It is what is called a
Class B vehicle according to the European standard EN 12184.
You are now the owner of an electric mobility wheelchair developed
for use indoors as well as outdoors. It is what is called a Class B vehi-
cle according to the European classication of electric wheelchairs.
MC 1144 Child, and any assistive product are designed for safe travel
for at least 10 years, provided it is serviced and safety-checked every
third year. The service must be carried out by an authorised workshop.
IMPORTANT! For safety reasons it is of the utmost importance
that the servicing and safety check intervals are complied with,
as this minimises the risk of brake failure and short-circuits in
the wiring, which could generate heat and cause a re.
If help is required with troubleshooting, Medema A/S is always happy
to provide telephone assistance. If the problem seems to be an elec-
trical fault that prevents the MC 1144 Child from working, please tell
us the error code. This can be found on the battery indicator on the
control panel. Read more about this in the section on Troubleshooting.
Please also have the MC 1144 Child serial number handy
when contacting Medema A/S.
Medema A/S is not responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by inappropriate or unsafe use of the MC 1144 Child.
If you have any questions that are not answered directly by this
manual, you are always welcome to contact us. See contact
information on page two.
NB: Errors and omissions excepted. Specications subject to change.
Medema A/S also reserves the right to update the service manu-
al in line with any modications or improvements to the product.

Getting in and out of MC 1144 Child
MC 1144 Child is a modern device, specially developed to help
you achieve maximum mobility.
Depending on your handicap, a helper may
be needed to lift you in and out of the chair.

Service manual 2433-2032-S 15 of 122 Version 2.0.3/2023
Medema Production A/S
Driving the MC 1144 Child
If you are using the MC 1144 Child for the rst time, you should
try out all the day-to-day situations you are likely to encounter:
• inclines/declines,
• driving on rough terrain
• driving on sloping terrain.
You should practice these manoeuvres with your therapist or
other carer.
Warning!
The seat should NEVER be hoisted while driving on uneven
surfaces, slopes or up and down kerbs. The higher the seat is
raised, the more unstable the chair becomes.
Arms and legs
While driving, you must place your arms on the armrests and
your feet on the footrests.
Cables and leads
Always make sure that cables and leads from components like
the joystick are xed using ties.
Before entering or leaving the chair, make sure that:
• That the wheelchair is switched o󰀨.
• That the wheelchair is not disengaged.
• That the wheelchair and the seat you are moving to are both stable.
• Lift up the armrests.
• Avoid placing your full body weight on the footrests.
This may tip the wheelchair forwards. Swing the footrest to the
side to leave space to stand on the oor.

Service manual 2433-2032-S 16 of 122 Version 2.0.3/2023
Medema Production A/S
Changes of level
Never attempt to climb onto raised objects or kerbs higher than
7 cm. Always approach changes of level head on, with the front
and back wheels moving in a straight line. (See below.) This
reduces the possibility of tipping.
Note!
If your MC 1144 Child vehicle is tted with a docking system
from Dahl Engineering, note that the clearance is reduced from
9 cm to 7.5 cm.

Fig. 3 Fig. 4
Driving on hills
When driving on hills, you should try to keep the wheelchair
moving all the time. If you have to stop, start up again slowly.
When driving downhill, you must drive at the slowest speed.
If the MC 1144 Child starts moving faster than you want, stop it
by completely releasing the joystick. Carefully push the joystick
forwards again and carry on with care until you reach the bot-
tom of the hill.
Be aware that the stopping distance can be signicantly longer,
down hill, than on level ground.

Service manual 2433-2032-S 17 of 122 Version 2.0.3/2023
Medema Production A/S
10 tips for driving the MC 1144:
• Reduce the speed when turning corners and going downhill.
• Reduce the speed when driving on inclines. Maximum incline: 6° = 10%
• Reduce the speed when driving on a sideways incline. Maximum
sideways incline: 6°
• Avoid parking on snow and ice.
• Always park on a level (at) surface.
• Avoid driving on rough ground.
• Avoid driving on icy surfaces, or smooth surfaces (for example
snow or freshly mown grass)
• Never attempt to climb kerbs higher than 7 cm. If the wheelchair has
a docking system, the clearance is reduced from 9 cm to 7,5 cm.
• Avoiding driving over kerbs diagonally. There is a risk of tipping
over.
• Not to be used for towing other vehicles, etc.
Note!
Talk to your doctor if you are taking medicine that may a󰀨ect
your ability to drive motorised vehicles.
Do not drive the MC 1144 when intoxicated. This applies to both
medicine and alcohol.
Warning!
If the vehicle behaves abnormally in any way - makes noises,
smells burnt, etc. - stop the vehicle immediately and seek tech-
nical assistance. By continuing to drive, there may be danger of
re or that vital parts are destroyed.
Driving on public roads:
When driving on public roads, footpaths, pedestrian streets, car
parks, shopping centres, etc. you must make sure you adjust
your speed and distance for other users. At 7 km/h you must fol-
low the tra󰀩c rules applicable to cyclists. This also means that
your lights must be switched on during lighting-up time. (Op-
tional extra)
On footpaths, the maximum speed is 6 km/h. In this situation
you are regarded as a pedestrian.

Service manual 2433-2032-S 18 of 122 Version 2.0.3/2023
Medema Production A/S
Note!
You should assume that other road users cannot see you while
you are sitting in the MC 1144. So take great care and wait for
the road to clear before crossing.
Driving on stairs/escalators:
The wheelchair is not designed for use on stairs or escalators
and any attempt to do so may cause serious injury to yourself
and others.
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
The MC 1144 satises the requirements for the use of wheel-
chairs in an environment with electromagnetic noise.
Warning!
In rare cases electromagnetic noise can a󰀨ect the MC 1144.
Sources of such noise include radio and television stations and
amateur radio transmitters.
If such equipment is being used close by, you are recommend-
ed to switch o󰀨 the MC 1144.
If the MC 1144 starts making unintended movements, or if the
brakes are released, turn the MC 1144 o󰀨 as soon as it is safe
to do so.
Warning!
In rare cases an MC 1144 might disturb the operation of devices
in its environment that emit electromagnetic elds, such as
alarm systems of shops, automatic doors etc.
The control systems have been tested and meet the require-
ments of DS/ISO 7176-14 and DS/EN 12184.

Safe servicing
• To avoid injuries to both the service engineer and the subsequent
user of the MC 1144 Child, it is important to get to know the prod-
uct before servicing it.
• Be particularly aware of the following:
• The MC 1144 Child MUST be turned o󰀨 on the main switch. If
electrical components are being serviced, the positive terminal on
the battery MUST also be disconnected.
• If the voltage needs to be measured in the course of troubleshoot-
ing, take great care not to short-circuit anything.
• Take great care not to short-circuit the battery terminals.
• Be careful not to lift heavy parts such as the seat, battery and mo-
tor gear incorrectly or drop them.
• Use professionally maintained tools.
• Where lock nuts are used, NEW ones MUST be tted when the
MC 1144 Child is reassembled.
• Take care to t new cable strips in the same way as the old ones.
Make sure that no cables can be trapped by moving parts or stick
out in such a way as to catch on things.
• End every service by making sure that the product is roadworthy:
- Check that all the connectors are plugged in correctly.
- Check that all the mechanical parts are properly secured.
