After prolonged use, the motors will produce heat, which
is radiat ed through the motors’ outer casing.

4.13 Hot surfaces

of the wheelchair, but also the upholstery material and
armrests can get hot when standing in direct sunlight on a
hot day.
WARNING!
Avoid Leaving the wheelchair standing in direct sunlight
for extended periods of time. The upholstery will get hot to
the touch.
4.14 Wheelchair range
The range of your wheelchair can be affected by many
factors such as user weight, terrain, ambient temperature,
use of powered op tions and battery condition.
NOTE:
The stated range in the sales literature is for
comparison purposes with other wheelchairs and is a
theoretical maximum (ISO 7176; Part 4) and may not be
attained by every user (also see section 10.11 and section
13, in this manual).
We recommend that every user initially limit their journey
to half the stated range, until they have confidence in the
actual range their wheelchair can attain.
CAUTION!
If your battery indicator is showing a low charge then do
not attempt a long journey unless you are confident in
reaching your destination and also returning to your home
without the risk of being left stranded.
4.15 Outdoor use (Fig.4.3)
Please ensure that the limitations of the Hula
performance are understood before any outdoor
use, by reading this Owners’ Manual carefully.
If it is necessary to use the Hula outdoors, exercise
caution and show the utmost consideration for other
people.

DANGER!
Remember that the last thing a car or lorry driver expects
to see is a wheelchair backing off the kerb into the road.
If in any doubt, do not risk crossing the road until you are
certain that it is safe. Always cross the road as quickly
as possible using a designated pedestrian crossing
whenever possible.
