The electric wheelchair must be stored in a dry place. For transport and storage, the temperature should be
kept between -40 ° C and + 65 ° C. Tires contain materials that can react with other materials such as detergent.
Black res contain dull parcles. If your electric wheelchair does not move over a period of several days, perma-
nent color changes may occur on the substrate on which the wheelchair is in contact. We therefore recommend
that a suitable mat be placed under the wheelchair if the wheelchair is not to be used for a long period of me.

6.1 Adjustability
There are several opons for seng the electric wheelchair. The height, width and angle of the seat and backrest
are factory-made in accordance with the customer’s order form.
The following parts can be set by the user:
• Backrest angle • Armrest height
• Backrest shape • Control panel posion
• The shape of the seat • The height and angle of the footplate
6.2 Backrest Angle
The angle of the standard backrest is adjusted with a water screw. To adjust the backrest slope, loosen both lock
nuts with a 13 mm spanner. (image 4) Note that counter nuts must be loosened in the right and le direcon,
respecvely. The angle of the backrest can now be adjusted by turning the adjusng screw. (image 4). Aer ad-
jusng to the desired angle of the backrest, ghten the lock nuts.

6.3 Backrest Shape and Depth
The backrest shape is adapted to the individual user’s need for support and balance and can be adjusted with the
Velcro straps under the back cover. The back of the back cover is folded up so that the straps are visible (Image
5 and 6). By adjusng the various straps, the user can shape the back cover so that it is adapted to the individual
needs. This adjustment is of great importance for the user’s benet of the wheelchair. We recommend that this
opon is inially carried out with the assistance of Wolturnus A / S consultants or the user’s therapist.

6.4 Seat length and seat shape
The seat length is adjusted by removing the seat cushion and loosening the Velcro (Image 7) on the front part of
the seat cushion from the rear part and pushing or pulling it to the desired posion (Image 8). The front part of
the seat week is then xed again on the rear part.
The seat recess is adjusted by removing the seat cushion and removing the front seat cushion (Image 9). Pull the
seat backwards so that the velcro straps on the underside of the seat are available. Release the Velcro straps
(Image 9 and 10) ghten them properly before re-aaching them (image 10). Note that for most users, the straps
should be ghter against the front edge of the seat than towards the rear edge. This provides beer resistance
to the backrest’s forward-facing pressure on the lower body and a beer posioning of the hip. We recommend
that this seng be inially performed with the assistance of Wolturnus A / S consultants or the user’s therapist.

7 Operang The Wheelchair
Danger to life if the brake fails to funcon! The brake release lever must be in the locked posion when the
electric wheelchair is in use. The automac brake must be ready for use and operaonal.
WARNING!
There is a risk of injury if the electric wheelchair falls over! Be aware of the following safety rules when dri-
ving in the wheelchair:
- Do not drive on slopes of more than 17%.
- When driving downhill, the speed should be reduced
- Do not exceed the height dierence of 5 cm
- Do not run over steps or edges without slowing down rst
WARNING!
Aecng the driving characteriscs of the electric wheelchair. The driving characteriscs of the electric
wheelchair can be inuenced by electromagnec elds (mobile phones or other equipment that emits radia-
on). During driving, all mobile equipment must therefore be switched o.
NOTICE
There is a risk of damage to other appliances! The electric wheelchair can generate electric magnec elds
that can cause interference with other devices. Therefore, the control panel should always be turned o
when not needed.
NOTICE
There is a risk of an accident if the re pressure is too low or too high. The electric wheelchair must be
inspected visually every me it is used to ensure that the tread depth is adequate and that the res have the
correct re pressure. Incorrect re pressure reduces re life and reduces wheelchair performance.
CAUTION!
There is a risk of injury if the electric wheelchair comes out of control! Always switch o the control unit
when the wheelchair is not in use. This will prevent accidental acvaon of the joysck.
CAUTION!
Each me the controller is turned on, the seng will be at the speed level that was last turned on by the
controller.

7. Joysck
The control panel is used to control the electric wheelchair. The control panel includes push buons, a joysck
and light indicators whose funcon is described below. The control panel is used to turn the electric wheelchair
on and o, to control the movement of the wheelchair and to operate the built-in electrical funcons.
1. The baery indicator is always on when the
electric wheelchair is turned on. The baery
indicator shows in 10 steps how much power
is le on the baery compared to full charge.
In addion, it also shows dierent signals if
there is a fault in the electrical system.
4. Program selector. When this buon is pres-
sed repeatedly, the user can switch between
the control system modes - typically one can
choose between actuator control of seat, back
or li. The actuator indicator shows which ac-
tuator is selected. If modes other than actua-
tor control are selected, both the speed indi-
cator and the actuator display turn o.
2. Turn on/o the wheelchair by pressing the
on/o buon. The baery indicator lights up
when the chair is on. Do not use this buon
to stop the wheelchair except in emergency
situaons.
5. The speed indicator shows in 5 steps the ma-
ximum speed selected.
6. The speed regulator is used to switch bet-
ween the 5 speed programs.
3. The buon for horn is acvated to give war-
ning for the wheelchair’s surroundings.
7. The joysck controls the driving direcon. You
move the sck in the direcon you want the
wheelchair to drive. The more the joysck is
moved, the faster the wheelchair runs. When
the joysck is released, the wheelchair stops
and the brake is acvated.

Operang the Wheelchair
7.2 Turning the Wheelchair On/O
The electronic control unit is switched on and o by pressing the on / o buon (Image 21). If the controller is
not used for more than approx. 10 minutes, it is automacally interrupted. It is also possible to switch o the
wheelchair with the on / o buon while driving. In this case, the wheelchair will brake immediately unl it
stops.
7.3 Driving Funcons
The electric wheelchair can force up to a maximum of 17%. To achieve safe downhill travel, the travel speed
must be reduced to a level appropriate to the slope. If the hill is steep, the speed is reduced to the lowest level.
The crical height for obstacles is 5 cm. Edges, doorsteps or other marked height dierences greater than 5 cm
must not be crossed. Always lower the speed safely before crossing obstacles, and try to avoid obstacles on une-
ven surfaces where you can lose control of the wheelchair. The speed must always be adapted to the surface.
Be aware of the condion of the baery both before and during driving.
The joysck on the control panel, see (Image 21) is used to control the electric wheelchair. The longer the joysck
moves away from the center posion in one direcon, the faster the chair moves. The highest speed that can be
achieved is with the joysck furthest away from the center posion. The speed of the speed controller is set at
the factory. Slow movement of the joysck will result in calmer and more smooth shis in speed and direcon,
while rapid movements will cause violent shi in direcon and speed. Release the joysck, acvate the brake
funcon and the wheelchair will stop. When it is staonary, the mechanical brake is automacally acvated so
that the wheelchair cannot be moved.
The electric wheelchair has 5 speed steps. By pressing the buons on the speed controller (Image 21), the wheel-
chair’s speeds can be changed and the current speed step can be read on the speed indicator (Image 21).
7.4 Baery Indicator
The baery indicator (Image 21) is always on when the wheelchair is acvated with the on / o buon. The bat-
tery meter displays the remaining baery capacity with 10 LEDs (three green, four yellow and three red). 100%
charging is shown by all 10 diodes lighng up. Each me an element is turned o, this means that the capacity is
reduced by approx. 10%. The maximum distance of the wheelchair, with a fully charge baery on a at surface
is approximately of 30 km at a constant speed. When more than 30% of the baery capacity is used, indicated
by all the green lights being o, the baeries should be recharged.
During charging, the process can be followed by the LEDs being switched on one by one. During charging of the
baeries, the driving funcon is blocked. The baeries should always be fully charged at each charge.
7.5 Acvang and Deacvang The Brakes
If the controller is defecve or there is no baery power, the electromagnec safety brakes will be locked to
prevent the wheelchair from rolling uncontrolled. In order to be able to move the wheelchair, it is necessary to
release the brakes by means of the mechanical release levers located externally on the motors.
Disconnecng engine brakes. When it is necessary to push the wheelchair manually, the electromechanical
brakes must be disconnected. Before disconnecng the brakes, switch o the control panel by pressing the on/
o buon (Image 21). If the control panel is not disconnected before the brakes are switched o, the LEDs ash
as a warning. Similarly, the LEDs ash as a warning if the control panel is turned on without the engine brakes
being engaged.
The electromechanical brakes are disengaged by pushing the handles on the front of each motor down to the

lever stop (Image 22). The wheelchair can now be pushed around while observing the safety precauons men-
oned.
As soon as the electric wheelchair has moved to the desired posion, both motor brakes must be restarted by
pushing the levers on both motors upwards (Fig. 31). Push back and forth with the wheelchair to check that the
brakes are engaged.
If there is power to the wheelchair, turn on the control panel and check the brakes on and o. A ”click” sound can
be heard when they switch on or o, which happens when the joysick is moved out of the center.
7.7 Protecon against overload
To protect against overloading of baeries and motors, the electric wheelchair is equipped with an automac
main switch and an electronic safety system.
In the event of overloading such as light terrain driving or driving up a long hill, the motors can become hot. To
protect against damage, there are built-in sensors in the motors and the electronics will automacally reduce
the speed to cool the electrical components to avoid damage. You will then noce that the wheelchair loses
speed and power. Although the wheelchair will resume its normal speed when the temperature has returned to
a safe level, we recommend stopping the drive and waing for 5 minutes before running again.
When overloading motors or baeries when driving on heavy terrain or uphill, which exceeds the intended
use of the electric wheelchair, the automac main switch will be acvated and interrupt the power so that the
wheelchair stops and the brakes are acvated.
If this happens, wait at least one minute before reacvang the switch.
If the auto-fuse switches o again, wait for 5 minutes before reacvaon and driving should be interrupted
under the circumstances so that motors and baeries are not overloaded.
If the automac circuit breaker connues to turn o during normal use, contact wolturnus A / S for technical
support.
Reacvang the automac circuit breaker:
The automac circuit breaker sits on the back of the electric wheelchair, to the le of the baery cover over the
le reector (see g. 2) and is acvated by pressing the buon at the boom.

7.8 Transfers
The modular design of the electric wheelchair and its components such as armrests and possibly footrests (de-
pending on the equipment and model) can be removed, to make it easy for the user to move in and out of the
wheelchair from the side or front. The way in which the user moves is an individual choice where the user ulizes
the most suitable method. Always have appropriate assistance when transfering.

Wolturnus E-Hockey User’s Manual 2019 Sports Wheelchair
Operang the Wheelchair
Li-o sideguards can be removed to enter from the side. Drive the electric wheelchair as close as possible to
the seat surface. Remove the armrest on the side where the transfer is to take place by liing it o. If the control
panel is mounted on the side where the transfer is to take place, it is recommended to disconnect the connector
from the engine part to the control panel.
7.9 Charging baeries
E-Hockey is standard equipped with two maintenance-free 12V gel baeries. Baery capacity determines the
wheelchair’s reach and several factors have an impact on the baery capacity. The age of the baeries, the dri-
ving behavior, storage of the baeries and the charging method are of great importance. To get the maximum
benet from the baeries, we recommend the following.
• The baeries should be charged at every opportunity regardless of their remaining capacity.
• It takes about 10 hours to charge a fully discharged baery (only one lamp lights up on the baery meter).
When charging is complete, the baery charger can remain connected without the risk of overcharging or dama-
ge to the baery. The baery charger has a programmed charging phase, which at full charge will go to maintain
the baery’s capacity at the maximum level.
• If the electric wheelchair is used daily, we recommend that the baery charger is plugged in daily for full
capacity to be available every day.
• When the electric wheelchair is not used for more than one week, the baeries will discharge. It is there-
fore necessary to charge the baeries at least once a week to maintain full capacity.
• Complete discharge of the baeries should be avoided.
• When the baeries are charging, the control panel on the wheelchair should be disconnected so that all
charging current is put into the baeries.
When charging baeries, the following should be observed:
• Only use the baery charger supplied by Wolturnus A / S. Failure to comply will void the warranty.
• The mains voltage of the baery charger must be 230V 50Hz.
The baery charger is designed for Wolturnus A / S maintenance-free baeries and must not be used for other
types of baeries.
When using the baery charger, the following safety consideraons should be taken:
• Always make sure the baery charger is on a at surface.
• Protect the baery charger from direct sunlight to prevent it from geng hot.
• The baery charger must be placed in a dry and venlated area. Avoid dust and dirt from entering and af-
fecng the funcon.
• Clean the baery charger with a dry and clean cloth.
Using the Baery Charger:
1. Disconnect the control unit from the electric wheelchair.
2. Connect the plug from the baery charger to the charging socket on the wheelchair (see g. 40)

3. Connect the baery charger to 230V 50 Hz mains voltage. The charging of the baeries will start automa-
cally and the charge status will be displayed on an LED lamp on the baery charger (Fig. 24, 2). The LED
ashes when charging the baery.
4. When the LED light is constantly lit, the charging process is complete. Disconnect from mains voltage and
then unplug the control unit.
5. Turn on the controller and the wheelchair’s baeries are charged.
The following signals appear on the baery charger when connected to the wall socket and baery (Image 24):
1. The light is on: The charger is powered.
2. The lamp ashes: The baery is charging. The lamp lights constantly: The baery is charged.
3. Lamp lights: Fault in charging stand, disconnect mains voltage.

Danger to life if the brake fails to funcon!
An incorrectly adjusted brake can lead to brake failure and thereby cause injury or death. Repairs and adjust-
ments to the brakes may only be carried out by authorized personnel.
WARNING!
Risk of accident and injury due to incorrect conguraon sengs. Changing the parameter sengs during
conguraon causes a change in driving characteriscs. In parcular, changes in speed, acceleraon, brake
or joysck sengs can result in unforeseen and therefore uncontrollable driving behavior with accidents.
Always test the electric wheelchair’s driving behavior aer compleng the conguraon / programming.
Programming may only be carried out by Wolturnus A/S.
Wolturnus A / S accepts no responsibility for damages caused by the programming not being adapted to the
wheelchair user.
