Important Notes
The Shoprider compact Powerchair is designed to assist in your individual mobility needs. Any usage outside of the guidelines in this manual may result in damage to the chair or injury to the user or third party.
Please do not lift the wheelchair by the armrests.
First Time Use
Prior to using your compact Powerchair for the first time, you must charge the batteries fully (refer to Battery Charging Procedures). Charging may take up to 12 hours for the Jiffy and Jiffy11. Smartie battery technology requires significantly less charging time (up to 3 hours). Charging the batteries completely prior to first time use will benefit battery efficiency and life of batteries.
