WARNING
O
Do not abruptly turn on a downhill slope.
In addition, do not traverse horizontally or
diagonally across a steep slope. You could
easily lose balance and tip over.
O
In the areas where the wheelchair leans
sharply to the left or right, the wheelchair
may tip over sideway. Have an assistant
accompany you.
O
When descending down a slope with the
assistant operations, descend in reverse.
If the assistant moves the wheelchair for-
ward when descending, the passenger may
plunge forward and fall off the wheelchair.
WARNING
The wheelchairs equipped with the
E-Drive
are built to be lighter compared to other
electric wheelchairs that use a general lead battery. For this reason, when a person sits
in it, the overall center of gravity shifts higher. Therefore, caution is necessary when
traveling on a curb.
O
When traveling in power drive mode, the
wheelchair can clear level differences of
approximately 20 mm (1 inch) (varies de-
pending on the caster size) . Any greater
level differences should be cleared by an
assistant by manual push operation.
