2. SAFETY NOTICES
Become familiar with the operation of your wheelchair before first use and keep these
safety notices in mind.
The same traffic rules for pedestrians apply to the use of the wheelchair.
1. Always fully charge your power wheelchair before operating.
2. Always make sure the power is off when getting in and out of the power
wheelchair.
3. Always make sure the freewheel levers are engaged (parallel to the wheels)
before getting in or out of the power wheelchair.
4. To prolong the life of the battery, it is suggested you charge the battery after
every trip. If you do not drive it for long periods of time, charge it as least once per
month.
5. If the battery gauge goes to RED, charge the battery as soon as possible. If the
battery is fully discharged, it could be damaged, and/or its life could be shortened.
6. As the battery ages and deteriorates, the batter power will decrease faster.
7. In cold weather, the battery capacity will be less.
8. When you are charging the battery, please make sure that the input voltage
(100V/240V) switch on your charger matches your power source.
9. Avoid unnecessarily moving the power wheelchair.
10. Please fasten the seat belt whilst driving and check the position of the anti-tip
wheel.
