Warning
Driving the power wheelchair in busy streets, busy parking lots, or in crowded shopping malls can
be dangerous for you or other people as you may be struck by a vehicle or you might strike a pedestrian.
Use caution in congested areas at all times.
Lean forward
a slight amount when traveling up an incline.
NEVER
leave your power wheelchair exposed to the elements. This includes storage outside or carrying the
power wheelchair on an outside car-lift during periods of high moisture ( mist, rain, snow, etc.) or any
other inclement weather (dust or sand storms, etc.). Use only a damp rag to clean your power wheelchair
(never use solvents or abrasive cleaners). The use of excessive water, as from a garden hose or bucket
may cause damage to your power wheelchairs electronics.
Use caution
when driving off even a small curb or raised surface. The act of dropping off the edge subjects
the power wheelchair to extreme forces that can damage the frame and other components. This type
of damage is not covered under warranty.
Disconnect the batteries
before performing any maintenance. This avoids the possibility of injuries due to
shock. Make sure that the batteries are reconnected and secured before using the power wheelchair.
Follow the directions
of your doctor and/or pharmacist at all times. Do not drive the power wheelchair while
taking medications that affect your refl exes or judgment, as your driving will be impaired and accidents may
result. Do not drink alcohol or use any other stimulants while operating this or any other vehicle.
The following are important things to help you drive the power wheelchair in the safest possible
manner. Please take note of each and every one.
WARNING: DO NOT
engage in the following activities with your
power wheelchair
or serious personal
injury may result.
DO NOT
ride the power wheelchair with the brake disengaged at anytime.
DO NOT
drive the power wheelchair diagonally across inclines, turn sharp on an incline or make turns at or
near full throttle at any time. Doing this will result in the power wheelchair losing traction and control which
can result in tipping and possibly serious injuries.
DO NOT
drive the power wheelchair with the seat assembly higher than necessary as tipping and serious
injury may result. The lower the seat, the better your stability.
DO NOT
drive the power wheelchair with under-infl ated tires as this increases the possibility of tipping and
injury. Your stability and effi ciency (power and range) are also greatly affected.
DO NOT
remain seated on your power wheelchair while it is being loaded into a vehicle using anything other
than a special wheelchair lift, or personal injury may result.
DO NOT
ride on soft, uneven surfaces as this can cause lose of traction and control causing tipping and that
may result in serious injury.
DO NOT
stop on any incline to rest or dismount. Although the electric brake will stop and hold you, it is best
to stop in level, fl at areas where there is no possibility of rolling, or tipping the unit or having the occupant fall
out.
