2.3. Charging
The device should be charged once a day.
Charge the device in a well-ventilated area
at room temperature. Before each charge,
check to makes sure that the charger’s
cables and connectors are not damaged or
worn. The device must be charged in a safe
manner. For this reason, choose an easily
accessible wall socket to plug the charger
into. In case of emergency, disconnect the
device from the mains by unplugging the
charger from the wall socket.
Fully charging the battery on a daily basis will
take 6 to 16 hours. It is important that the
battery is never completely discharged, as
this helps to prolong the life of the battery.
A fully discharged battery must be charged
for at least 24 hours. The battery charge
level is displayed on the control unit. Three
levels of battery charge are indicated using
the colours green for high level, yellow for
moderate level and red for low level. Always
charge the device before the battery level
goes down to red, low level.
Warning! Only use chargers
approved by Mercado Medic to
charge the product. The use of
other chargers may, for example,
result in the risk of fire or inter-
ference with other electronic
equipment. See 7. Technical
information for approved
chargers.
Chargers with damaged or
worn cables and connectors
must be immediately removed
from service. Worn cables or
connectors can lead to short
circuits and the risk of fire.
Contact your prescriber or
distributor to replace the charger,
see 1.1. Contact details.

Batteries emit explosive gases
during charging. Consequently,
charge your device in well-
ventilated area and avoid flames
and sparks. There will be a risk of
fire if the gases ignite.
How to charge the device
1. Connect the charger plug into the wall
socket. The ON/OFF symbol lights up
green to indicate that the charger is
connected to the mains.
2. Plug the charging contact into the
charging socket. The charging socket is
located on the front edge of the control
unit and labelled with a battery symbol.
The battery symbol on the charger will
flash green to indicate that charging is
in progress. PLEASE NOTE! The charger
is equipped with protection against
overheating but will become heated
during charging.
3. The battery is fully charged when the
battery symbol on the charger lights up
with a steady green.
The charger consumes little power and
cannot overcharge the battery. For this
reason. the charger may be connected even
if the battery is fully charged. Unplug the
charger before using the device.
If no electrical functions are working, try
charging the battery. If electrical functions
still do not work, contact your prescriber or
distributor, see 1.1. Contact details.
2.4. Transferring and moving
Only transfer to and from the device on a
flat surface. Make sure that the device is
switched off and the brake is applied to avoid
unexpected movement during the transfer.
Always consult with your prescriber about
the most suitable technology to facilitate
your transfer in and out of the device.
Transfer from the side
Use your arms to transfer from the side by
shuffling sideways to or from the seat of
the device. Position the device by driving it
parallel to that piece of furniture you want to
transfer to or from, see Figure 2.6.
When transferring to the device, the height
of the seat should be a little lower than the
height you are transferring from. Adjusting
the seat height to the correct position. Lower
the armrest to the side you moving over. Use
the armrest on the other side as a support.
When transferring from the device in a
seated position, the height of the seat should
be a little higher than the height to which you
are moving.

Instructions for use for medical electric wheelchairs Getting started
21-08877-UK-02
Transferring from the front
When transferring from the front, the
movement will be forward to or from a piece
of furniture to which or from which you wish
to move, see Figure 2.7. Position the device
directly opposite or at an angle in front of
the piece of furniture to which you wish to
move. Depending on your strength and ability
to move, you should not make this move on
your own without having previously trained at
doing it in a safe manner. It may be beneficial
to try out procedures for positioning the
device and the other piece of furniture, i.e.,
positioning the legs of the other piece of
furniture in a certain way in relation to the
device and ensuring that they are similarly
positioned on every occasion.
Before transferring to the device from the
front, the footplate should be folded away or
lowered to enable you to be as close to the
seat as possible. The front edge of the seat
should not be higher than the hollow of your
knee. This makes it easier for you to get far
into the seat immediately,.
When transferring from the product, the seat
should be raised to a higher position than
the furniture to which you are moving. This
will save energy and allow to focus on a save
movement with good support points.
If a patient lift is used during the transfer to
and from the devise are used when moving to
and from the device, possible pinching risks
should be taken into account. Make sure that
your hands, feet and any clothing do not get
in the way and risk being damaged.
Avoiding obstacles
For the best possible conditions for
negotiating thresholds and the like, the seat
should be lowered to maximise stability
and disable speed reduction. Driving profile
2 facilitates access over thresholds, as it
performs well over obstacles and its speed
is not excessive. For more information about
changing the driving profile, see section 5.3.
Control unit.
Driving on a ramp
Before driving on a ramp, always check that
the ramp can cope with the total weight of
you and the device. Lower the seat height
and straighten any seat tilt to increase
stability. The device should always be driven
straight up or down the ramp, see Figure 2.8.
Always reverse the device when driving down
a ramp. If the incline exceeds 3 degrees,
always reverse the device when driving down
the hill.
Figure 2.7. Transfer from the front.

3. Caring for the device
Clean the device according to the instructions in this section to maintain its functions and
service life. If you still have issues that cannot be resolved using available home resources,
please contact your prescriber or distributor for reconditioning.
PLEASE NOTE! Do not wash the device with water or other liquids and chemicals.

armrests. The padded parts can be combined
as needed for support, relief and stability
when sitting. For users with pain problems,
the Slow Recovery variant is available for
both seating systems. This variant contains a
pressure-relieving foam that is activated by
body heat. If there are special needs, a seat
with anti-slip material can be installed for
use of third-party seat cushions, see 5.14.

accessories include neck support, trunk
support, side support, Coxit mechanism, leg
support and width adjustment of armrests.
Users themselves can set daily functions
such as the adjustment of seat height,
seat tilt, gas spring-operated back rest
mechanism where this is appropriate and if
this can be done safely.
The driving characteristics of the device
should be customised to the user so that
the device can be driven safely. For more

Control unites can be mounted using two types of attachment, a control arm and ParaLoc
(optional). The control arm is articulated at two points and allows movement of the control
unit towards the inside and outside of the armrest. The joints can either be locked in a fixed
position or be mobile with an adjustable resistance. With ParaLoc, the control unit retains its
forward direction when the control arm is rotated outwards or inwards. ParaLoc has a lock
mode; this is normally placed straight ahead of the armrest. You can also adjust the lock mode
by adjusting the magnetic arm, see Figure 5.2. The depth of both types of attachment can be
adjusted and the attachment can be mounted on the right or left side.
Control arm
The control arm is adjustable in depth (A) and has
adjustable resistance in joints (B), see Figure 5.1.
Depth setting:
1. Remove the screw using a 5mm Allen key and a
10mm ring spanner.
2. Move the control arm to the desired position (three
possible positions) and then refit the screw.
Setting the adjustable resistance in joints:
1. The resistance in each joint can be regulated
steplessly by tightening or releasing the Allen screw
onthe underside of the control arm at each end. Figure 5.1. Control arm.
ParaLoc
ParaLoc is adjustable in depth (A) and is able to adjust
the position of the magnetic arm’s lock mode (B), see
Figure5.2.
For depth adjustment, see Control arm.
Setting the lock mode of the magnetic arm:
1. Place the magnetic arm against the magnet so it is
fixed. Loosen the screws and adjust the control arm
tothe desired position.
2. Tighten the screws. Figure 5.2. ParaLoc.

Check the control unit when starting the device. A flashing red light on the main switch will
signal there is an error. The number of flashes indicates the fault that has occurred; see 8.1 for
more information. Troubleshooting guide.
In the event of less serious defects, you can continue driving the device in limp mode. Driving
in limp mode means that the device can still be driven but at reduced speed. In the event
of serious errors affecting driving safety, the device will automatically stop. The device can
subsequently not be used until the fault is fixed.
Inspecting the control unit
1. Turn on the circuit breaker, see Figure5.3.
2. Turn on the main switch (F), see Figure5.4.
3. Check that the battery level indicator is at
least showing a yellow marking, see Figure
5.5. Charge the device if the indicator is
showing a red marking. See 2.3. Charging.
4. Make sure the light on the main switch is
green.
