1.3 Lifting the chassis
Do not attempt to lift the Bugzi
chassis until the seat and battery
unit have been removed.
Always bend your knees and not
your back when lifting heavy
objects. Stand in front of
Bugzi. Bend your knees
and grasp Bugzi by the two
handles keeping your back
straight. Straighten your
knees and lift Bugzi close to
your body.
HANDLING
SETTING UP
2.0 Preparing for use
• Use only on hard, dry, flat surfaces
• Guard steps higher than 20 mm (3/4”)
• Remove other obstacles
• Maintain a calm atmosphere where possible
2.1 Seating set-up
Correctly specified and adjusted seating is critical
to the successful operation of Bugzi. The CAPS
II Seating System must be set and adjusted by a
qualified therapist or rehabilitation engineer.
2.2 Installing seat
Slide the seat along the interface board aligning the
pegs at the back of the interface with the holes on
the back plate of the seat base. Lower the front of the
seat until it is resting flat on the board, then push it
back as far as it will go until you hear the ‘click’ of the
spring catch.
2.3 Battery charging
A row of coloured bars
on the controller indicate
the level of charge in the
battery.
When all the green bars
have gone out, it’s time to
charge the battery.
If used frequently it may
be best to charge Bugzi up every night to prevent the
batteries running out during the day. Keeping batteries
well charged will prolong their life.
2.4 Make sure the Bugzi is OFF
1. Unplug the power lead from the battery pack and
connect the charger plug in its place. (2.4a)
2. Plug in charger and switch on the power. (2.4b)
3. It can be safely left connected until needed.
Always disconnect the mains supply before
disconnecting the battery. Don’t forget to
replace Bugzi’s power lead after charging!
