VI. SAFETY WARNINGS & INSTRUCTION LABELS
30
If you are not an accomplished outdoors powered wheelchair driver, we
strongly recommend that you first practice in an open area, free from traffic
and preferably with an attendant who can assist you. When ready, proceed to
power on the wheelchair. The battery indicator gauge will move to the amount
of charge left on your battery and the status light on the power switch will
illuminate as a solid. Gently press the joystick to move forward. To stop, simply
release the joystick to trigger the brakes.
When powering on the wheelchair, DO NOT accidently depress the joystick on
your wheelchair. The above action will result in your wheelchair going into fault
mode. To clear the fault, power off before powering back on.
If your wheelchair has been adapted for left hand user, the joystick can be
installed on the left armrest.
LEARNING TO GET AROUND TIGHT SPACES
If you must steer in a tight spot, such as through a doorway or when turning around, stop,
turn the wheelchair to where you want to go, and then apply the power gently. This will
make the wheelchair move gently, with complete stability. Practice in an open area until you
are proficient. Driving in reverse will require more attention
Remember: When driving in reverse, you have to control in the opposite direction to the
way you want to go. Practice in open space as required. Please note, reverse speed is set to
half the forward speed for your safety.
DO NOT power off your wheelchair while it is in motion. Failure to observe
this warning may irreparably damage the main electronic speed control
unit or transmission. Always power off when your wheelchair is stationary.
GETTING THROUGH DOORWAYS
When you start using your wheelchair, you will meet some obstacles that will require some
practice for smooth driving experience. Here are some common problems, with tips to help
you master them quickly. You will soon be in control through doorways and travel up and
down ramps with surprising ease by following the tips suggested below.
Approach an unfamiliar doorway slowly. Size it up. Does the door have a knob or push
bar? Does it open toward you or away from you? Think in terms of using the power of the
wheelchair to do the work for you! Hold the door knob or bar in one hand and apply power
with the other hand.
If the door is self-closing, you can go though, allowing the door to close behind you. If not,
just stop when you are clear of the door before pushing it close.
If however, the door opens toward you, hold the knob or bar with one hand and gently let the
reverse power do the work. When the door is open wide enough, move forward, leaving the
hand on the door to keep it away from the wheelchair and letting go as you pass the doorway.
