Installation

  1. Place the foot on the Foot Control and decide where you want to position the 4 pins. Use an Allen key to fixate the pins at the desired position. We also advise you to use the strap, so consider mounting the Foot Control Strap Mounting Plate as well.
    Note: The pivot point of the Foot Control is located more towards the ankle for ergonomic reasons. You can adjust the pivot point, by sliding the pins more in/out at the toes or the ankle.
    CAUTION: Tighten the screws firmly, but not excessively. Excessive force may damage the unit.
  2. Define the position of the Foot Control.

    Will you mount the Foot Control on an existing foot plate or will you use a designated bracket for the Foot Control? You can use the dedicated mounting holes if needed (orange in picture below).

    CAUTION: Mount the pedal on a rigid structure, to avoid fracture.
    CAUTION: It is very important to consider the ideal sitting position, before installing the Foot Control. Without stability, there can be no good function.
    CAUTION: Make sure that there are no objects or people within the movement range of the Foot Control, to avoid pinching.
  3. Consider using the Foot Control Safety Bracket Set. You can mount this, by using the red holes in the picture above.
  4. Place and secure the interface unit and all cabling on the wheelchair.
    Warning: Place the Interface unit with the connectors facing downwards. This is to prevent water from entering the Interface unit.
  5. Place a power on/off (pwr) and/or mode (in) switch, secure their cabling and insert their connections. You can use the connections on the Interface unit.
    CAUTION: Before inserting a connector, remove the protective cover. If the connections are not used, always put or keep the protective covers in.
    CAUTION: This is Class I Medical Device (MDR 2017/745). All accessories, including switches, must also comply with the MDR 2017/745 regulations (e.g. the mo-vis Twister, tested according to EN12184 standards).
  6. Connect the cabling to the wheelchair electronics.
    CAUTION: All wheelchair electronics must be switched off during installation.
CAUTION: Make sure that the Foot Control is moved away for transfers. The maximum force requirements on the Foot Control are 100 kgs in a horizontal plane and 130 kgs in a vertical plane.
CAUTION: Make sure that the driving function is off, when the Foot Control is not being used to drive. This will allow the user to rest his/her foot, without causing unwanted movements.
