Type classification and intended use
Eloflex power wheelchairs have been developed for people
who have difficulty walking or cannot walk at all, but who
have vision ability, physical ability and mental ability to control
an power wheelchair.
The Eloflex power wheelchair is sufficiently compact and
flexible for indoor use, but the chair is also suitable for
outdoor use. The chapter ”Technical data” at the back of this
document contains information on speed, turning radius,
range, maximum lifting capacity and maximum weight for
the user and so on. We encourage you to read all safety
information in the chapter ”Safety” in this document.

Needs
The purpose of an Eloflex power wheelchair is to
compensate for an injury or disability, which is why it is
recommended in
the following circumstances:
• If the user has the inability to walk or very limited ability
to walk, which makes it difficult to move in his / her own
home.
• If there is a need to leave the home to get out or to visit
places that are normally visited in order to carry out everyday
affairs.
• When the user has difficulty getting to, or performing work
or activities because of his / her mobility disabilities.
It is advisable to use Eloflex power wheelchairs both indoors
and outdoors, if it is not possible to use hand-operated
wheelchairs due to mobility problems, but it is still possible to
properly handle power wheelchairs.
Accessories
Chargers and bag with simpler tools are available when
delivered in the storage bag under the seat.

gently rotate until the pins enter the
holes and the grooves in the two

This is how you charge
Start by turning off your Eloflex (all lights
on the joystick should be off). Connect
the charger to the socket on the front
of the joystick. Make sure that the
contacts’ position matches each other.
Then plug the charger’s power cable
into a wall outlet.
Charging is indicated by a lamp on the
charger. Red lamp means that charging
is in progress. After about three
hours, the batteries are charged at 90
percent. The chair can now be used
again.
After about 5-8 hours, the light on the
charger becomes green and the batte-
ries are fully charged. During charging,
the charger itself becomes warm, and
this is normal. For maximum battery life,
charging. Charging instructions should
take place for about five hours when
Charging instructions
the bar on the battery indicator at the
joystick has dropped to one third (when
three of the lights are green).
The batteries will not be damaged by
maintenance charges but for maximum
battery lifespan we recommend that
you disconnect the charger when the
batteries are fully charged. Charging
the batteries can be done
down to -10 degrees. When charging
in lower temperatures, the batteries will
not get fully charged.
If your Eloflex is used in minus degrees,
the mileage is affected. For example,
at -10 degrees, the mileage can be
reduced by up to 50 %.
