temperatures of -20°C and50°C.
In extremely cold temperatures the batteries may freeze. The specific
temperature at which they freeze depends on a number of factors, such as
battery charge, usage, and composition of the batteries.
Temperatures above 50°C may cause your electric wheelchair to operate at a
reduced speed. This reduced speed is a safety feature built into the controller
that helps prevent damage to the motor and other electrical components.
General Guidelines
Avoid knocking or bumping the controller, especially the joystick.
Avoid prolonged exposure of your Chair to extreme conditions, such as heat,
cold, or moisture.
Keep the controller clean.
Check all connectors to ensure that they are all tight and secured properly.
WARNING! Even though the electric wheelchair has passed the necessary
testing requirements for ingress of liquids, you should keep electrical
connections away from sources of dampness, including direct exposure to
water or bodily fluids and incontinence. Check electrical components
frequently for signs of corrosion and replace as necessary.
Daily Checks
With the controller turned off, check the joystick. Make sure it is not bent or
damaged and that it returns to the neutral position when you release it. Check
the rubber boot around the base of the joystick for damage. Visually inspect
the boot. Do not handle or try to repair it. See an authorized Provider if there is
a problem.
Visually inspect the controller cable. Make sure that it is not frayed, cut, or has
any wires exposed. See an authorized Provider if there is a problem.
Check for flat spots on solid tires. Flat spots could adversely affect stability.
