The chair is intended for indoor use only and must not be used outdoors. The chair must not be exposed to
extreme cold or heat, prolonged sunlight or other radiation. The chair must not be exposed to water, other fluids
or chemicals.
Warning! Metal surfaces may become very hot if they are exposed to direct sunlight. The chair must not be
equipped with any accessories or components other than those approved by Mercado Medic AB. Repairs and
other technical measures may only be carried out by personnel authorised by Mercado Medic AB.
• The REAL6100PLUS is a ClassA product and is
intended for indoor use only.
• Max. user weight: 135kg. When adapting the
product for heavier users, please contact Mercado
Medic AB.
• Driving programs must be adapted for the user
so that the chair can be operated in a safe
manner with regard to the user and the user’s
surroundings. Adaptation of driving programs
may only be carried out by trained prescribers
and technicians. Programming is done using
appropriate software. Please refer to the section
on ‘Programming the control unit’.
• The REAL6100PLUS must not be equipped with

2. Expected service life
The expected service life of the Product is ten years
when used in accordance with the instructions in this
manual. The Product's date of manufacture can be
found together with the serial number on one of the
silver labels on the Product's chassis, marked with
Lev/Del and stated in the format YYWW (number of
year and week).
As a user of the Product, you should contact your
prescriber, technical aids centre or distributor if the
Product shows reduced or altered performance.
After the expected service life, it is important to
make an overall assessment of the Product before
continuing to use it. After the expected service life,
Mercado Medic AB cannot guarantee the suitability
and safety of the product, as Mercado Medic AB has
no control over how the product has been used and
wear and tear. The overall assessment of the Product
should be carried out by the healthcare organisation if
the product is prescribed, and, as a minimum, should
take into account how the Product has been used,
the condition of the Product and its component parts,
whether the Product has been reconditioned and
been serviced, when this occurred, what actions have
been taken on these occasions and the reason for the
actions.
In markets outside Sweden and Norway where
a distributor has sold the Product directly to the
user (where applicable), and therefore there is no
responsible prescriber, periodic maintenance must
be carried out according to instructions in the section
Reconditioning and Service in addition to the overall
assessment above.
After the expected service life, Mercado Medic AB
cannot guarantee the provision of spare parts. CE
marking is not affected by expected service life.

• All knobs and locking levers must be tightened on
the chair before use. If play or other deviations are
detected, report this to the responsible technical
aids centre.
• The leg support must not be adjusted so that it is in
contact with the floor or other.
• If the REAL6100PLUS is equipped with, for
example, a belt or similar, this must not hang

5. Storage, cleaning & maintenance
Service interval: No preventive maintenance is necessary.
Cleaning during use at home: The chair should be wiped
clean of dust and dirt once a week with a lightly moistened
cloth and a mild detergent.
Store the chair in a dry environment at room temperature.
Check the battery charge level before use. If the chair is
to be stored for more than one month, the battery fuse
should be disconnected. See Replacing the battery. The
chair is intended for indoor use and must not be rinsed
with water, other fluids or chemicals. The chair can be
cleaned/wiped clean with surface disinfectants. We
approve the use of detergents with a pH ranging from 7 to
a maximum of 12 (concentrated). The chair must not be
exposed to extreme heat, prolonged and intense sunlight
or other radiation. If the chair has been transported
in extreme cold, it must be allowed to reach room
temperature before use. The chair should be wiped down
and kept clean of dust and dirt.
1. Plush upholstery should be washed using a foam
wash.
2. Remove any dirt, crumbs and similar. Apply a thin
layer of foam and rub the foam evenly with a damp
cloth.
3. Wipe with a clean and lightly dampened cloth.
Vacuum clean when dry.
Artificial leather should be washed using soapy water or
alternatively be wiped down with an alcohol solution, e.g
disinfectants. Do not use any other cleaning agents.
For functional reasons, seats, backrests and other padded
parts are not made from impermeable materials. Padded
parts should be replaced during reconditioning for
hygienic reasons.
The electric lifting mechanism should be checked
regularly for dust, dirt and stability: Raise the seat to its
highest position. Clean with a cloth. Do not use any water
or solvents. Then lubricate the cylinder by applying a thin
layer of Teflon or silicone based grease. Touch-up coating
can be done using Mercado’s black touch-up paint, article
no. 801900.

Transfers from the side
When transferring to the chair from the side, you must aim to ensure that
the seat of the chair is positioned somewhat lower than the position you
are transferring from. When transferring from the chair you can raise the
chair so that you are sitting positioned somewhat higher than the position
you are transferring to. Remember to only fold away or lower the armrest
of the chair on the side you are transferring over.
Transfers from the front
When transferring to the chair from the front, you must aim to ensure that
the front edge of the seat is no higher than knee level; this is so you can
sit well back into the seat without having to make further adjustments.
Remember to fold away or lower the footplate so you can get close to the
seat. If you are using a lift to transfer to and from the chair, you must bear
in mind any crushing risk. Make sure that hands, feet and any items of
clothing cannot get in the way and risk injury.
Ramps
Always drive straight up the ramp from the front, not obliquely.
7. Transfers
7.1. Transferring to and from the chair
Please note: Always ask your dealer for advice on the most suitable technique for transferring to and from the
chair, from the front or the side. What best suits you and your needs and thus carries the least risk of injury.
! Transfers to and from the chair must only take place on a flat surface. Position the chair correctly for the
transfer and adjust the seat height to the correct position.
! Ensure that the control unit is switched off and that the brake is not disengaged at the time of the
transfer in order to prevent the chair from moving unexpectedly.
! Before driving on a ramp, check that it can
withstand the combined weight of you and your
electric wheelchair. To increase the stability of
the chair when driving on a ramp, lower the seat
lift and level the seat tilt. When driving down a
ramp we recommend always reversing the chair.
If the slope exceeds 3degrees, the chair must
be reversed when going downhill.

9.2. Installing the backrest
Insert the backrest support post (1) into the backrest
mechanism (2) while pushing in the button clip
(3). Adjust to the appropriate height (see Backrest
mechanisms for instructions on how to adjust the
backrest). Lock the backrest support post using the

order.
9.3. Backrest mechanisms:
Adjust the backrest so that the user’s calf is at a distance of about 2–3cm from the front edge of the seat
while in a sitting position. This is to promote blood circulation while maintaining a stable sitting position
when operating the chair.
There are four types of backrest mechanisms: Standard, Medic, Comfort and EL. All are available in a low and high
design (illustrated chairs all have low backrests). All backrest mechanisms have separate settings for height, depth and
angle. The Medic model has extended depth adjustment.
- The Standard backrest mechanism can be adjusted in height, depth and angle and is available with both high
and low backrests.
- In addition to height, depth and angle adjustments, the Medic backrest mechanism (option) has an extended
depth adjustment option.
- The Comfort backrest mechanism (option) looks and works like a Medic backrest mechanism without depth
adjustment, with angle adjustment of the backrest mechanism done using the handle on the gas spring.
- The EL backrest mechanism can be adjusted in height, depth and angle and is available with both high and low
backrests. The mechanism can be set in two different angle adjustment ranges.

should be followed:
• Keep the charger, connectors and
batteries free of dirt, dust and
oxide.
• Turn off the
vehicle when
it is not in use.
• Charge the
battery daily,
or as soon as
it is depleted.
• Allow the
charger to perform maintenance-
charging of the battery when the
vehicle is to be stored for a long

Charging/discharging
• Charge for 12 hours before first use.
• Then charge after each discharge, even if the
battery has not been fully discharged.
• Never place a fully discharged battery away for
storage.
• A fully discharged battery must be charged for at
least 16 hours.
• If the battery has been charged for less than
16hours on more than three occasions, the
battery must be charged once for 24hours in
order to compensate for poor charging.
• The ambient temperature when charging must be
between 10°C and 30°C.
High ambient temperatures
The battery should not be charged if the ambient
temperature exceeds 30°C. The charger is set to a
charging voltage valid at 20°C.
Low ambient temperatures
Charging at temperatures below 10°C is not
recommended. The available capacity decreases at
low temperatures.
Deep discharge
Try to avoid deep discharges. If the battery is
completely discharged, it must be charged as soon as
possible and for at least 24hours.
Long-term storage
Disconnect the batteries if the chair is not to be used
for a long time. This is done using the Automatic fuse.
Press Off to disconnect the batteries. If the chair is to
be left unused for more than 4months, a maintenance
charge must be performed to uphold battery capacity.
See the section on Charging. The automatic fuse must
be switched on before charging.
When the chair is to be used again, the automatic fuse
must be switched on again. Press On. Also make sure
to charge the chair before use.
! Remember the following when handling
batteries:
- Never short-circuit the battery.
- Do not subject the battery to strong shocks.
- The battery should be replaced after three (3)
years to reduce the risk of leakage.
- In the event of contact with battery acid,
rinse with water for approx. 15 mins and seek
medical advice.
- Used batteries must always be discarded at
recycling centres.

10.1. Indication of malfunction
10.2. Error codes & actions, control unit
1Flash – Control unit error
The control unit is not properly connected or
defective. Check the control unit cables.
2Flashes – Network/Config. error
Check all cables. Check Bluetooth connectivity if
active. Check the charger and charge the chair’s
batteries. Reprogramme the system. If there is a
signal following a hardware update, software updates
are required.
3Flashes – left (M1) motor
This means that there is a break or short-circuit on the
lead from the electronic module’s M1 connector to the
motor, or fault with the motor. Check by unplugging
the M1 connection and measuring the resistance
between the two outer pins (1 and 4) in order to
detect any break or short-circuit.
4Flashes – right (M2) motor
See 3Flashes, but for the M2 connector.
5Flashes – left (M1) parking brake
This means that there is a break or short-circuit on the
lead from the electronic module’s M1 connector to the
parking brake, or fault with the parking brake. Check
by unplugging the M1 connection and measuring the
resistance between the two inner pins (2 and 3) in
order to detect any break or short-circuit. Also check
that the parking brake disengage control properly
resets the brakes when the lever is moved into driving
mode.
6Flashes – right (M2) parking brake
See 5Flashes, but for the M2 connector.
7Flashes – LiNX Module error
Not control unit. Check the connected modules and
their cables. Charge the chair’s batteries. If the chair
has become stuck on an uneven surface, ensure that
the surface underneath the chair is even and then
restart the control system. If the error persists, the
electronics module may need to be replaced.
Each fault of the LiNX will be indicated by flashes on the control unit indicator light at the On/Off switch. These come in
groups of 1–7flashes at an interval of 2seconds. The number of flashes indicates the fault that has occurred.
The electric wheelchair will stop automatically in the event of any serious faults that affect driving safety. Less serious
faults will only be indicated by the indicator light and it will be possible to continue driving the electric wheelchair.
For some faults, the electronics are reset once the fault has been corrected, and the indicator then once again shows
a steady light. Other faults may be connected, which means that the electric wheelchair must be turned off for at least
2seconds and then switched on again to reset the fault.
For less serious faults, the electronics may switch to the backup driving mode. This means that it will still be possible to
drive the electric wheelchair, but all speed variables will be lowered.
