4.12 Wheelchair motors
After prolonged use, the motors will produce heat, which is
radiat ed through the motors’ outer casing.
WARNING!
Do not touch the motors’ outer casing for at least 30 minutes
after using the wheelchair, to allow it to cool.
(Fig. 4.5 and Fig. 4.6).
WARNING!
4.13 Hot surfaces
Not only the motors can get hot during the operation of the
chair, but also the upholstery material and armrests when
standing in the sun.
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 should be
seen as the 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 Road use
Please show the utmost consideration for the other traffic
on the road.
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; there may be other traffic.
