• Check manual brake releases. Release each brake separately
to ensure that each disables the drive when released.

A worn or improperly latching seat belt may not properly
position you in the seat and can result in serious injury or death.
Replace the seat belt at first signs of wear or improper latching.
Motor operational noise is normal. Audible noise levels
will normally increase as the power wheelchair ages.
