MANDATORY! Read and follow the owner’s manual.
Your LiteRider
®
Envy Lite is simple to operate. However, for your safety and the safety of
others, Golden Technologies, Inc. recommends that you carefully read and understand
the following operating instructions. We also recommend that you practice operating
your LiteRider
®
Envy Lite in an area free of any obstacles. Once you have gained
confidence in your ability to control your power chair, you will more easily be able to
operate it in normal daily conditions.
Before turning on the power of your LiteRider
®
Envy Lite, take note of
your environment and set your speed control accordingly. (See “Speed Control Buttons”
figure 14 on page 25) For indoor driving, we recommend that you select the lowest speed
setting. For outdoor driving, we recommend that you select a speed setting at which you
feel comfortable, safe, and in control of your power chair. Familiarize yourself with the
features of your LiteRider
®
Envy Lite described below and follow the instructions to safely
operate your power chair.
