2. Push the down arrow button to tilt the chair (See Fig. 43).
3. Push the up arrow button to undo the tilt (See Fig. 43).
4. Push the power button to turn on or turn off the battery level lights (See Fig. 43).
5. Push and hold the up and down arrow buttons for three seconds to lock the key functions.
Repeat to unlock key functions (See Fig. 43).
NOTE: The pendant hand control has a hook on the end of the control. This hook can be
used to mount, or hang, the control on the wheelchair. Wherever the hand control is
mounted, ensure cable is not in a position where it will be pinched, cut, trapped by moving
components or obstruct tilt movement.
NOTE: The power tilt motor has limits set to protect the system if too much energy is
required to change the tilt angle. If a limit is triggered, the motor will reset to an active
state within a few seconds. These same limits are responsible for the motor discontinuing
when the rotary frame reaches the maximum tilt range or a tilt stop. Power tilt chairs with
recline are more susceptible to a motor reaching a limit and discontinuing when the client
is reclined because the center of gravity has changed. It may be necessary to reduce the
recline angle of the client for the motor to operate normally.
