SnapDragon – Owner's Manual

Dragonmobility Ltd

Issue 1,8

a) Removing the Seat

Stand to the side of the seat with one hand under the front edge of the seat base, and the

other on the black knob which can be found near the bottom back corner of the outside of

the seat. Pull the black knob, which will release the catch securing the seat to the elevator,

and at the same time lift the front edge of the seat to tilt it upwards slightly. Once the seat

catch is disconnected, move your hand from the knob to the top edge of the back of the

seat, and hold it under the square horizontal seat frame member to lift the seat with both

hands away from the elevator. Put the seat somewhere safe while you load the rest of the

SnapDragon into the car.

b) Folding the Elevator Flat

Depending on the internal dimensions of the luggage space in your car, you may need to

fold the elevator flat on to the battery compartment of the SnapDragon before you load the

SnapDragon (see Fig:13).

To do this, stand behind the SnapDragon and put your left hand on the head of the elevator.

With your right hand, pull the knob which releases the elevator lock (see Fig:10). This will

allow the elevator to pivot about its location bar. Keeping the lock released until it is clear of

the tilt brackets (see Fig:11), rock the head of the elevator backwards and rest it on the

battery compartment cover. With the elevator carriage near the top of the elevator, this will

naturally rest flat.

Once in the car, however, you should place a rug or padding between the elevator and the

"bootlid" to avoid rubbing which might cause damage to the fibreglass or paintwork.

c) Removing the Elevator

Folding the elevator flat makes the overall length of the SnapDragon slightly greater so for

some smaller cars, for instance a hatchback, you may need to remove the elevator

altogether. Before doing this, disconnect the elevator control cable (Fig:10) at the main

servo end by twisting the blue locking ring until the connector will pull apart. The cable is

clipped to the elevator side channel on the left, and will remain attached to the elevator, but

care should be taken not to snag this cable in any way in storage. Then proceed as in b)

above to unlock the base of the elevator from the tilt brackets. Keeping the elevator at an

angle of about 45° lift the location bar clear of the powerbase. This will separate the

elevator from the powerbase completely.

d) Driving the Powerbase up Ramps

Position the ramps firmly against the car, making sure that there is sufficient room to allow

both front and back wheels of the SnapDragon to run up them. Remember that the front

drive wheels are further apart than the back castors. Check that the performance knob on

the main servo is turned up to between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock.

Manoeuvre the SnapDragon so that the drive wheels are close to the base of the ramps,

facing up them. Standing behind the SnapDragon, hold it with your right hand to guide it

and use your left hand to operate the forward attendant control button on the main servo

(see Fig:7). The SnapDragon will drive up the ramps into the car under its own power.
