WARNING
The wheelchairs equipped with the
E-Drive
are built to be lighter compared to other
heavier electric wheelchairs that use a general lead battery. For this reason, when a per-
son sits in it, the overall center of gravity shifts higher. Therefore, caution is necessary
when traveling on a slope.
O
Do not use the wheelchair on a slope
steeper than 6 degree (10% grade) . It may
tip over or the brake may become ineffec-
tive.
O
When going up /down a particular slope for
the first time, have an assistant accompany
you to ensure safety.
O
In areas with an incline, do not switch the
clutch levers to the manual position. The
wheelchair may start moving unexpectedly,
and may collide or tip over.

soon as possible.
