Driving outdoors and precautions in bad weather conditions
Although the electric wheelchair is designed to be used indoors to help with daily
living activities, the manufacturer has designed it to perform perfectly outdoors on
level surfaces.
ATTENTION - When working outdoors, avoid uneven terrain, soft surfaces,
tall grass, loose gravel, loose sand, fresh and salt water, stream banks, lakes
and oceans. If you are unsure about a surface, avoid it.
Exposure to adverse weather conditions should always be avoided. If you
find yourself in bad weather conditions while using your electric wheel-
chair, immediately go to the nearest shelter. Dry the electric wheelchair
completely before use, before charging or before storing.
Physical limitations
Use awareness, caution, prudence and common sense when operating the wheelchair.
Always be aware of your own limitations and rules of use when operating an electric
wheelchair.
WARNING!
It is forbidden to use the wheelchair while under the influence of alcohol or
psychotropic drugs. Never smoke while sitting in the wheelchair. Damaged
or worn upholstery must be replaced as it increases the risk of fire.
ATTENTION!
When operating an electric wheelchair, please be aware of precautions,
warnings and safety issues if you are taking medications prescribed by a
doctor or available without a prescription.
WARNING!
Drive the electric wheelchair forward down or up the slope, never reverse.
Irregular movements or making forward and backward movements may
increase the probability of tipping over. Changes in slope can reduce stabil-
ity. Under no circumstances should the electric wheelchair be moved up a
slope greater than the maximum stability angle of this electric wheelchair.
WARNING!
The product is intended for use by people with disabilities and movement
disorders. If you are not sure whether your health condition allows you to
use the product, consult a healthcare professional.
