  OWNERS MANUAL

Introduction

Congratulations  on  your choice of a  power wheelchair!  It is a

dependable vehicle built for power and performance.  Its easy to operate controls
give you more of what you are looking for in a wheelchair.

But it is important that you understand what your power wheelchair is,

and what it is not.  Our power wheelchairs (like all power wheelchairs) are de-
signed to provide safe, reliable transportation  to older or moderately physically
disabled individuals who have difficulty in getting around. It will safely take you
everywhere the specifications indicate as long as you follow the simple safety guide-
lines shown on the next few pages.

The power wheelchair

 

 is not an all terrain vehicle that you can use out

in the fields to drag brush around or climb steep hills.  It was not meant to go
hunting in, or transport you thru hazardous environments.  It also was not designed
for the severely handicapped individual who should not be in a power wheelchair.
You must have good stability, motor control and above all else,  good common sense
to use our wheelchair, or any other brand.  If you feel that you cannot safely oper-
ate this vehicle at all times, you should not use this power wheelchair!
