ENGLISH
Thank you and good luck!
Thank you for choosing an Eloflex as your aid. It means a lot to us because our vision is
to make peoples’ everyday lives a little easier and to give people with mobility impairments
more freedom. We hope you experience both with the help of your Eloflex.
We think you will be very pleased with your new power wheelchair. This user manual
contains important information on safety, use and care. We urge you to read this entire
documentation before using your Eloflex for the first time. We also suggest that you practice
driving your Eloflex on a separate, open and flat surface before using it in other contexts.
The Eloflex power wheelchair is designed for users with many different needs. The
decision as to whether Eloflex is suitable for the user is always made by the prescriber or
retailer together with the user. Eloflex assumes no responsibility for cases where the power
wheelchair is not adapted to the user's needs.
An Eloflex should primarily be used in its standard version. If the electric wheelchair needs
to be adapted or changed in any way, it may only be carried out by your centre for assistive
devices or by Eloflex. Please note that damage and errors that occur due to not following
the instructions for use or due to poor maintenance are not covered by the warranty.
Good luck and lots of pleasure with your Eloflex.
Drive carefully!

Eloflex power wheelchairs have been developed for people
who have difficulty walking or cannot walk at all, but with vision,
physical and mental ability to control an power wheelchair.
The Eloflex power wheelchair is compact and flexible enough
for indoor use, but the chair is also suitable for outdoor use.

maximum climbing ability, maximum weight for the user etc.
We encourage you to read all safety information in the "Safety

Requirements
The purpose of an Eloflex power wheelchair is to
compensate for an injury or a disability, which is why it is
recommended in the following circumstances:
• If the user has the inability to walk or severely limited ability
to walk, which makes it difficult to move around in their own
home.
• If there is a need to leave the home to get out in the open
or to visit the places that are normally visited to carry out
everyday tasks.
• When the user has difficulty getting to, or performing work
or activities due to their mobility impairment.
It is suitable to use Eloflex power wheelchairs both indoors
and outdoors, if it is not possible to use manually operated
wheelchairs due to mobility problems, but it is still possible to
operate electrically operated wheelchairs in a correct way.
Accessories
Charger and bag with simple tools are available on delivery in
the storage bag under the seat.

Step 2

gently twist until the pins go into the
holes and the grooves in the two
connectors align. Then screw the
sleeves on each connector together.
IMPORTANT!
Be careful not to
damage or bend the
pins in the connector.
IMPORTANT!
NEVER connect the
charger directly to
the battery.
This is how you charge
Start by turning off your Eloflex. Plug
the charger into the socket on the front
of the joystick. Ensure that the position
of the contacts match each other.
Theninsert the charger's power cable
into a wall outlet.
Charging is indicated by a light on the
charger. Red light means charging is in
progress. After about three hours, the
batteries are charged to 90 percent.
The chair can now be used again.
After about 5-8 hours, the light on the
charger turns green and the batteries
are fully charged. During charging, the
charger itself gets warm, and this is
completely normal.
Charging instruction
For maximum battery life, charging
should take place for approximately
five hours when the bar on the battery
indicator on the display has gone
down three bars. The batteries are not
damaged by maintenance charging, but
for maximum useful life we recommend
that you disconnect the charger when
the batteries are fully charged.
Charging the batteries can take place
down to -10 degrees. When charging in
lower temperatures, the batteries will not
be fully charged. If your Eloflex is used
at freezing temperatures, the mileage
will be affected. At -10 degrees, for
example, mileage can be reduced by
up to 50%.
