WARNING

Position yourself close in the power chair seat to prevent it from tipping and causing
injury.

Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the power
chair to tip and cause personal injury.
 Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. Such use may cause it to tip and cause
personal injury.
 Never attempt to get onto and off your power chair without turn off it first.
 Never drive your wheelchair onto an escalator.
DRIVING IN GENERAL

Before starting to drive your wheelchair take time to read all the instructions regarding
the
BREEZY P100 and to get to know the controls. When first learning to drive, practice
in an area you know well. We suggest a large flat smooth area such as your living room
or the driveway to your home. Do not attempt to drive the
BREEZY P100 in confined
areas or where there is traffic until you are sure you can control safely.

Switch on the joystick module and practice driving the BREEZY P100 slowly forwards,
backwards and turning side to side. When you have more confidence, increase the
speed and practice until you have mastered driving the
BREEZY P100 .

The BREEZY P100 allows driving absolutely safely on slope with a maximum gradient
up to 10°. When driving up or down steeper slopes than this or over uneven ground,
braking and steering response will be limited due to reduced traction. When on a slope
don't lean out of the
BREEZY P100 down the slope.
RAMP & OBSTACLES
 Approach slowly, as you encounter a ramp or incline.
 Do not drive up or down an incline that is more than 10° (within safe user weight limits).
 Do not attempt to climb over an obstacle which is more than 40mm height or a gap more
than 100mm width.
 If you must stop when going down slope, decelerate slowly.
 Avoid prolong climbing.
 When driving down a ramp, keep your power chair's speed adjustment set to the lowest
speed setting and driving in the forward direction only.

On any sort of an incline or decline, never place your power chair in manual driving mode
while sitting in it or standing next to it.

Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed backwards down any step, curb, or
other obstacle.
