Driving Your Alero
If operating for the first time, please practice driving your Alero in an open area. All power
wheelchairs react differently and it is best getting used to how your wheelchair’s responds in an
area free of obstacles. Practice in an open area until you are comfortable operating your Alero.
Then practice moving around obstacles. If you are uncomfortable or not happy with the
response of your Alero, ask your Golden Authorized Dealer to adjust the programming to a
level at which you are comfortable.
Before sitting in your Alero, please make sure:
9
the power to your Alero is switched off.
9
the wheel locks are in the engaged position. (Fig. 14)
9
the brake release levers are in the engaged position. (Fig. 12)
9
the battery charger is disconnected.
9
you swing your footrest to the side of the chair.
1.
Carefully transfer into your Alero making sure not to hit the power button.
2.
After transferring, make sure you are comfortably positioned and the armrests and
swing-away footrests have been adjusted to suit your needs.
3.
Position the joystick controller so it is easy to reach. This will help to eliminate muscle
fatigue during driving.
4.
The lap positioning belt should be adjusted and fastened before you start to operate your
Alero.
Note:
Golden Technologies strongly suggests to ALWAYS wear your lap positioning
belt. The lap positioning belt is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for
use as a safety device.
