WARNING
The wheelchairs equipped with the JWX-1 are built to be lighter compared to other heavier
electric wheelchairs that use a general lead battery. For this reason, when a person sits in it,
the overall center of gravity shifts higher. Therefore, caution is necessary when traveling on a
slope.
L
Do not use the wheelchair on a slope steeper
than 6 degree (10% grade). It may tip over or
the brake may become ineffective.
L
When going up/down a particular slope for the
first time, have an assistant accompany you to
ensure safety.
L
In areas with an incline, do not switch the
clutch levers to the manual position. The
wheelchair may start moving unexpectedly,
and may collide or tip over.

If it is raining or snowing, do not operate the
wheelchair outdoors. Automobiles and other ve-
hicles may collide into you if they cannot recog-
nize you. If it starts to rain or snow while you are
outdoors, move indoors as soon as possible.
