Operating Safely
➢
Do not attempt to drive the electric wheelchair on a transport vehicle such as a bus,
subway, train, plane, or boat.
➢
When operating the electric wheelchair, be mindful of keeping your balance and maintain a
stable center of gravity.
➢
Leaning too far forward, to the side, or backwards can cause a tipping situation to occur.
The following are factors that influence balance and center of gravity
➢
The height and angle of the seat.
➢
The position and posture of the user and their weight distribution changing.
➢
The degree of slope for a ramp or incline.
Caution
Do not drive parallel with an angle as this will create a tipping situation

Always travel perpendicular to a slope and lean into the uphill slope.
