General Use
Take heed of the information given in this manual regarding safety and the
maintenance of your powerchair. If adhered to, your powerchair should give
you years of reliable mobility.
Storage and General Care
We recommend that the powerchair is always stored in a dry environment
away from damp, preferably in the home to protect the chassis and other
components from corrosion or water damage. Do not leave the powerchair
outside during rainstorms. If the scooter is wet, wipe with a dry cloth to ensure
there is no ingress of water into the internal components of the powerchair
(If
the powerchair needs to be cleaned, use a mild detergent and warm water
with a damp sponge or cloth. DO NOT throw water over the powerchair)
.
Product Stability
Scooters and powered wheelchairs are designed to allow the user flexibility of
movement in restricted areas. Driving at maximum speed and attempting
sharp turns can create a situation where the product becomes unstable.
Therefore it is essential that the user pay attention the guidance set out in this
manual.
For maximum stability the speed setting should be set up to 50% of the
maximum available (halfway between the tortoise and the hare or just
entering the red sector on the speed indicator depending on the model.
The main factors affecting stability are:
Maximum speed setting
Seat
height
User
movement
User’s
manoeuvres
Gradients or slopes
Please keep your speed to a level where you can safely stop without having
to make any erratic turns.
Do not load bags etc. on the back of the seat as this will affect the centre of
gravity and could increase instability.
Do not lean outside of the ‘footprint’ of the product, especially whilst moving.
Avoid making turns on gradients or slopes.
Lap Belt Adjustment
Your lap belt is a standard feature on your wheelchair which has been factory
fitted. Your dealer should demonstrate how the lap belt should be adjusted.
The purpose of the lap belt is to ensure that the user is seated in their most
comfortable, safe position.
