Everest Lite Owner's Manual
WARNING: Do not tie down or attach anything to the wheels. This could cause tip-
ping and could result in personal injury or damage to the wheelchair.
WARNING: Ensure that the lowest point on the footboard clears the ground safely
during ascent or descent.
WARNING: Do not enter or exit the wheelchair without first turning wheelchair
power off, and ensuring that the drive engagement levers are engaged,
to prevent wheelchair movement.
WARNING: Disengaging the drive engagement levers will also disengage the elec-
tromechanical park brakes and allow the wheelchair to roll.
WARNING: Ensure that no water, moisture, or other liquid enters the controller or
hand control.
WARNING: The controller should be adjusted only by a qualified therapist or tech-
nician. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical
condition, the environment in which the wheelchair will be used, and the
terrain over which the wheelchair will travel. The controller's range of
adjustment and versatility is provided so that the requirements of many
different abilities may be met, and the person setting the driving char-
acteristics has the responsibility of making certain that the user can
safely operate the wheelchair at the speed and rates selected.
WARNING: When adjusting with the programmer, start with a slow (low number)
drive profile. Increase only if the user has the ability to control the
wheelchair safely.
WARNING: When adjusting with the programmer, use caution when changing the pa-
rameters to a setting different than that provided by the standard drive
profiles.
WARNING: When adjusting with the programmer, do not set reverse speed faster
than forward speed.
WARNING: Ensure that wheelchair power is off before connecting or disconnecting
the programmer.
WARNING: Do not disconnect the wheelchair batteries while the programmer is con-
nected to the controller.
WARNING: Do not connect accessories to the batteries; it will decrease driving
range and shorten battery life. Do not connect ANYTHING to only one
battery; this will cause premature battery failure.
