Operating the seat lift
Make sure nothing gets jammed between the chassis and the seat when you are
operating the seat lift. The center of gravity is higher when the seat is raised,
increasing the risk of tipping. So use the seat lift only on flat ground and not on
uneven surfaces.
Releasing the brakes
Make sure the wheelchair is on a level surface before you release the brakes,
so it doesn’t rolling away.
Charging batteries
Charging should be done in a well-ventilated area, not in a wardrobe or closet. You
should not charge the batteries in a bathroom or wet area. Only use a charger with a
maximum charging current of 10A (mean value). You should not try to drive the chair
when the charger is connected, since this will not work.
Transportation
Ensure that the chair is properly secured (see page 31). A chair that is not pro-
perly secured can cause injury and damage if it comes loose.
Servicing
Only attempt the servicing and maintenance that the operating instructions say
may be done by the user. All other servicing and maintenance should be done
by someone with sufficient knowledge to be able to do it correctly.
Always disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before you work on the
electrical system of the wheelchair. Take care when using metal objects while
working on the battery. A short circuit could easily cause an explosion. Always
use protective gloves and glasses.
The recommended air pressure is 36 psi. The tire could explode if you over-inflate it.
