Warning
Environment Conditions
The Glide Rehabilitation Products Power Chair has been designed and tested with user
safety, as its prime consideration.
The “Active Posi Trak” (APT) Suspension System has been designed to automatically
adjust to uneven surfaces and changes in height, allowing all six wheels to stay in
contact with the ground under most conditions. This feature provides improved stability
and increased traction on drive wheels in demanding situations.
Even though the “Active Posi Trak” System improves manoeuvrability and stability,
this does not negate the effect, or take into account, circumstances which put the
wheelchair outside the specified operating conditions for which it was designed and
tested.
It is important that the user takes due care and understands the limitations within the
environment that the chair will be operated.
As a guide only, the following is a brief list of scenarios that could affect the stability of
the chair and need to be considered when driving chair: -
•
Always turn the controller off when parked. Even if it is only for a short time
as this will prevent accidental movement of chair or release of park brakes.
•
The Wheelchair must remain in the
Engaged Drive Mode
at all times, unless
manually manoeuvring the wheelchair.
•
Traction could be lost on inclined or decline if wet, oily or grassy surfaces.
Take extra care and drive slowly on these surfaces.
•
Extreme Tilting and reclining must be done on level ground ONLY.
•
Chairs fitted with Tilt and Recline features should NOT be driven with these
features in a extreme Tilt or Reclined position. Driving in a Tilted or Reclined
position can affect stability and your vision.
•
Never drive your chair on a wet, oily or icy covered ramp or slope
•
Stop if one or both drive wheels lose traction
•
Never traverse railway lines without someone in attendance
•
Wheelchair should not be driven in heavy rain.
