1.5.14. Crowded Areas
WARNING
● When getting in the wheelchair in a crowded area, do so with sufficient atten
-
tion to your surroundings. If you bump into people or objects, your body may
plunge forward, or people around you may get injured.
● When you are stopped in a crowded area, be sure to turn off the power. If a per

son in your surrounding area hits the joystick, the wheelchair may start moving
unexpectedly, causing injury to people around you.
1.5.15. Transporting and Storing the Wheelchair
● When lifting a wheelchair with tilt-up arm support, never lift it by the arm sup

port. Otherwise, the arm support may come off and cause an injury or damage
to the equipment.
● Do not turn the wheelchair upside down. Doing so may cause parts of the
wheelchair to fall off, resulting in an injury or damage to the equipment.
● When lifting a wheelchair, never lift it by the battery, cable, or controller. Other
-
wise, any of these devices may come off and cause an injury or damage to the
equipment.
WARNING
● Be sure to store the disconnected battery
with the protective cap on it. Exposed con

tacts can cause short circuits and lead to a
fire or battery rupture.
Protective cap
● Do not store in places that can get wet by rain, or that are high in humidity.
● Do not store when it has been wet for a long time, or there is dirt on it. This can
cause malfunction.
● During transport, do not place the battery or the wheelchair in a place that can
become hot, or in direct sunlight.
This could lead to malfunction, or could cause the deterioration of the battery
to progress rapidly.
● Be sure to remove the battery when not in use, so that its power will not turn on
unexpectedly in storage or during transport.
