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

Continued and prolonged use may cause the
motors to get hot. This may trigger the self protect
mechanism in the control system. If this occurs the control
system will temporarily shut down to prevent damage to
the electronics or the wheelchair .

minutes after using the wheelchair , to allow it to cool.

WARNING!
4.13 Hot surfaces
Not only the motors can get hot during the operation of the
wheelchair, 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 may not be attained by every
user and should be seen as the theoretical maximum (ISO
7176; Part 4) (also see section 14, 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.
