WHEN SEATED IN A PARKED
POWER WHEELCHAIR
!
WARNING
1. ALWAYS turn off all power to your wheelchair when you are
parked, even for a moment. This will prevent:
• Accidental movement from contact with the joystick by
you or others.
• Unintended movement from EMI sources.
(See Section
V
page 8
).
2. Make sure that people who help you (for example, store
clerks) are aware of the joystick and DO NOT touch it. If they
do, your wheelchair may move suddenly when you do not
expect it.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
!
WARNING
Your power wheelchair is not designed for use in a heavy rain
storm, or in snowy or icy conditions.
1. Contact with water or excessive moisture can cause an
electrical malfunction. The frame, motors and other parts are
not water-tight and may rust or corrode from the inside.
TO AVOID A MALFUNCTION
• Minimize exposure of your power wheelchair to rain or
very wet condi tions.
• NEVER take your power wheelchair into a shower, tub,
pool or sauna.
• DO NOT use your power wheelchair in fresh or salt
water (such as at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean).
• Make sure the battery pole protection caps are secured.
• Replace joystick rubber gaiter if it becomes torn or
cracked.
• Make sure all electrical connections are secure.
• Dry the wheelchair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if
you use water to clean it.
2. Proceed slowly and use extra care if you must operate your
power wheelchair on a wet or slick surface.
• When in doubt, have someone help you.
• Do so only if you are sure it is safe.
• Stop if one or both main wheels lose traction. If this
occurs, you may lose control of your wheelchair or fall.
• NEVER operate your wheelchair on a slope or ramp if
there is snow, ice, water or an oil film present.

WARNING
Extra caution should be used when employing the Micro Light
switch or the proximity head array as control devices. These two
devices are susceptible to malfunction when wet.
