ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Environmental conditions may affect the safety and performance of your power wheelchair.
Water and extreme temperatures are the main elements that can cause damage and affect
performance.
A) Rain, Sleet and Snow
If exposed to water, your power wheelchair is susceptible to damage to electronic or
mechanical components. Water can cause electronic malfunction or promote premature
corrosion of electrical components and frame.
B) Temperature
Some of the parts of the power wheelchair are susceptible to change in temperature. The
controller can only operate in temperature that range between 18
℉
(-8
℃
) and
122
℉
(50
℃
).
At extreme low temperatures, the batteries may freeze, and your power wheelchair may not
be able to operate. In extreme high temperatures, it may operate at slower speeds due to a
safety feature of the controller that prevents damage to the motors and other electrical
components.
