Passengers
The wheelchair is not intended to transport passengers, regardless of the age of
the passenger. The Maximum User Weight stated in the Owner's Manual for your
seating includes the user and any personal effects. The Maximum limit should
not be exceeded. The wheelchair's maneuverability and stability can be degraded
as a result.
Environmental Conditions
Protect your wheelchair from exposure to any type of moisture, including rain,
snow, or wash. Exposure to moisture can caused the chair to short-circuit,
catch fire and cause personal injury or property damage. Do not operate your
wheelchair if it has been exposed to moisture until it has dried completely.
If any of the shrouds or the joystick boot has cracks or tears, they must be
replaced immediately. Failure to do so can allow moisture to enter the elec-
tronics and cause personal injury or property damage, including fire.
Do not operate your wheelchair in icy or slippery conditions. These conditions
can lower the performance and safety of your wheelchair which could lead to
an accident, personal injury and property damage, including damage to the
wheelchair.
NOTE: Extreme care should be exercised when using oxygen in close prox-
imity to electric circuits and other combustible materials. Contact your oxygen
supplier for instruction in use of oxygen.
