Before You Use Your Teknique HD6
The Hoveround ® Teknique HD6 is a battery-operated motorized vehicle.
The intended use is to provide mobility to persons limited to a seated
position. The operation of the power wheelchair requires you to exercise
caution and consideration for your personal safety and the safety of
others around you. Never modify your wheelchair, and do not use
accessories other than those developed for use specifically with your
Hoveround Teknique HD6 power wheelchair. Information about the
design of ramps appropriate for wheelchair access for your home are
contained in guidance from the Americans with Disabilities Act, which can
be located at http://www.access-board.gov/adaag/html/adaag.htm.
The lists below detail some important safety warnings. Please read
this entire manual thoroughly, and follow all warnings and instructions
to avoid serious injury or death. Call toll free 1-800-96-HOVER
(1-800-964-6837) if you require further assistance. Your "Safety and
Training video" illustrates many of the concepts in the manual.
Keep your manual to refer to when needed.
To avoid serious injury or death:
1. Always use the seat belt.
2. Always ensure that the power is OFF before getting into
and out of the seat.
3. Always set the joystick/controller speed/response control
to be consistent with the surrounding environment. In
confined spaces and while learning to drive your power
wheelchair, we recommend that the speed/response control
be set to minimum.
