For Safe Use
WARNING
On an irregular surface with high curbs or dips, there is
a risk of a rollover or fall if the wheelchair tilts too far
backward.
• Always check the surrounding conditions
carefully for safety.
• If necessary, make sure you are accompanied by
an assistant who can ensure safety.
WARNING
There is a danger of the wheelchair moving
unexpectedly, causing a rollover or a fall if you get in
and out of the wheelchair incorrectly. Be sure to get in
and out using the following procedure.
• Select an area that is level and not slippery.
• Turn OFF the power switch.
• Engage the parking brakes.
• Pull the clutch lever to the power drive position.
• Place your hands on the frame or the arm support
of the wheelchair, and not on the controller.
• If you are unable to get in and out of the
wheelchair by yourself, make sure you are
accompanied by an assistant.
WARNING
If you shift the clutch lever while riding, there is a risk of
losing control, rolling over, or falling down. Shift the
clutch lever only with the wheelchair stopped.
• If you shift to manual drive while traveling
downhill in power drive, there is a risk of losing
control of the wheelchair because there is no
braking effect of the motor.
• If you shift to power drive while traveling in the
manual drive mode, the shock that occurs during
shifting can cause your body to plunge forward
or cause damage to the equipment.
WARNING
Crossing a road or riding on the shoulder of a road may
involve danger. Always be accompanied by an assistant
when traveling in unfamiliar areas.
• When crossing a road at a crosswalk without a
signal, pay particular attention to traffic from the
left and right.
• Even at a crosswalk with a signal, the signal may
change while crossing a wide road. In such a
case, wait for the next green light to give yourself
sufficient time.
• It is very dangerous to ride at the side of a narrow road. Select a route that is as safe as possible.
• If the battery is low, there is a risk of the
wheelchair stalling while crossing a road.
WARNING
While traveling in power drive, do not remove the battery, as it will cause the wheelchair to come to a sudden stop. The
resulting shock can cause your body to plunge forward or cause damage to the equipment.
