SAFETY TIPS
CLEANING
Periodic cleaning of the frame and upholstery is recommended. Hand wash with a non-
abrasive cleaner and drip dry or wipe dry with a soft cloth. Do not put upholstery in a dryer.
The frame may be polished with a non-abrasive automotive wax.
Do not
get electrical components wet.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI)
WARNING
Radio wave sources, such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur
radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones, can
affect powered wheelchairs. Following the warnings listed below
should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered
wheelchair movement which could result in serious injury.
1. Do not turn ON hand-held personal communication devices, such as citizens band (CB)
radios and cellular phones while the powered wheelchair is turned ON.
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close
to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair OFF as soon
as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered wheelchair,
may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources (Note: There is no
easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair).
5. Report all incidences of unintended movement or brake release to the powered wheelchair
manufacturer, and note whether there is a radio wave source nearby.
CONTROL SYSTEM CARE
Avoid knocking your control system, especially the joystick.
When transporting your wheelchair ensure the control system is well protected.
To prolong the life of the control system, keep exposure to extreme conditions to a minimum.
Always clean your control system if it becomes contaminated with food or drink.
Use a damp cloth and washing with liquid mixed with water. Do not use abrasive or spirit
based cleaning agents.
