Suggestion
：
1.
You should recharge the batteries following each use of the power chair to ensure
maximum range. The batteries should be charged at least once a week, even if the
power chair is not used.
2.
After charging or fitting a new battery, drive the power chair for 2-3 minutes to make
sure the battery capacity is sufficient.
3.
In cold weather, the batteries may respond more slowly and the battery range may be
reduced.
4.
When driving on a gradient, the battery indicator light may move up and down. This is
normal and should not cause concern.
5.
Even with proper care and use of the batteries, it is natural for the battery’s capacity to
reduce with time. When the batteries’ range is about 50% of the range when new, it is
time for them to be replaced. Please contact CareCo about replacement batteries. Old
batteries can lead to a rapid decline in performance.
6.
The battery range will be reduced when driving frequently, on a slope or on rough
ground, as this requires a greater consumption of power.
7.
The batteries have a six-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. This
warranty does not cover faults due to incorrect battery recharging.

BRAKING
Electro-magnetic brake: Release the speed control lever completely, the electromagnetic
brake will be activated automatically and the power chair will stop.
Warning
：
When on a gradient NEVER switch the power chair to the freewheel mode. The
electromagnetic brakes will not be applied and this may result in injury.
