PROHIBITED
F. CHANGES & ADJUSTMENTS
Never use non-AmySystems parts to replace AmySystems
provided parts or make changes to your chair unless
authorized by AmySystems. (Doing so will void the
warranty and may create a safety hazard.)
!
WARNING
Accessories designed by manufacturers other than
AmySystems are not available through AmySystems. The
order process has not been tested or approved for use by
AmySystems.
1. If you modify or adjust this chair it may increase the
risk of a fall or tip-over.
2. Modifications unauthorized by AmySystems constitute
remanufacturing of the wheelchair. This voids the
warranty. The user then assumes all future liability for
the wheelchair.

WARNING
G. WHEN SEATED IN A PARKED WHEELCHAIR
1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are
parked, even for a moment. This will prevent:
• Accidental movement from contact with the joystick
by you or others.
• Unintended brake release or movement from EMI
sources. (See Section V)
2. Make sure that persons who help you (for example,
store clerks) are aware of the joystick and do not touch
it. If they do, your chair may move suddenly when you
do not expect it.
!
WARNING
H. ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Your chair is not designed for use in a heavy rain storm, or
in snowy or icy conditions.
1. Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause
an electrical malfunction. The frame, motors and other
chair parts are not water-tight and may rust or corrode
from the inside.
To avoid a chair failure:
• Minimize exposure of your chair to rain or very wet
condi tions.
• Never take your chair into a shower, tub, pool or
sauna.
• Do not use your chair in fresh or salt water (such as
at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean).
• Make sure the battery post covers are secured.
• Replace joystick boot if it becomes torn or cracked.
• Make sure all electrical connections are secure.
• Dry the chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if
you use water to clean it.
2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate
your chair on a wet or slick surface.
• When in doubt, have someone help you.
• Do so only if you are sure it is safe.
• Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this
occurs, you may lose control of your chair or fall.
• Never operate your chair on a slope or ramp if there
is snow, ice, water or an oil film present.
!
WARNING
Extra caution should be used when employing the disc
switch or the proximity head array as control devices. These
two devices are susceptible to malfunction when wet.
