4.4. Driving the Wheelchair

Startup
• Sit down in your B+B wheelchair and rest your legs on the footrests.
• Make sure you are sitting on the seat as far back as possible. Also
make sure that no loose items of clothing such as scarves, shirts
and the like are hanging from the side of the wheelchair, since they
could be caught in the wheels!
• Make sure you are sitting comfortably and securely. By pushing the
ON/OFF button the Terra/Terra SX is put into operational mode.
• You can now use all electrical drive control functions.
Drive Control Functions
Your qualified medical supply dealer can set the values for speed,
acceleration and delay within the scope of statutory specifications.
Select a low speed range at first and then increase it during your drive,
if necessary.
You can start driving by pushing the joy-stick forward. With the joystick
you can also increase the speed and control the direction of travel.
Putting the joystick in the neutral position will engage the brakes and
secure the wheelchair against rolling away.
Driving straight ahead:
joystick forward. The further you push the joystick forward, the faster
the wheelchair will go. If you let go of the joystick you will automatically
slow down.
Driving backwards:
joystick. The further you pull back on it, the faster your wheelchair will

is also possible when the joystick is in a forward or backward position,
that is when you are going forwards or backwards.

4.5. Leg rests

To make it as easy as possible to get in and out of your wheelchair, you
can fold the footrests up or pull the leg rests to the side and/or take
them out.
• Open the locking mechanism to pull the leg rest to the side (fig.
22)
• In the "outside position" the leg rest can be taken off completely
(fig. 23).
• To reinstall the leg rest, repeat the steps in reverse order.
• Push the leg rest back to the front until it catches with an audible
click.

4.6. Pushing the wheelchair

If you want to push the wheelchair in certain situations, the brakes
have to be disengaged. In the free-wheeling mode the wheelchair is
easy to push.
Warning! The electro-mechanical brakes then don't
work.
• Move the release lever up into the "Free Wheel" position (right and
left).
• A small jolt will let you know that the drive is now disengaged (fig.
24).
• To re-engage the drive, push the lever back into the "Drive"
position. It will lock automatically.
For safety reasons the motor drive is locked in
freewheel mode.
Warning! Risk to Life!
The drives may only be disengaged on level ground.
