WARNING: Ensure that the lowest point on the footplates clears the ground safely dur- ing ascent or descent.
WARNING: Do not enter or exit the wheelchair without first turning wheelchair power off, and ensuring that the drive engagement levers are engaged, to prevent wheelchair movement.
WARNING: Disengaging the drive engagement levers will also disengage the electro- mechanical park brakes and allow the wheelchair to roll.
WARNING: Ensure that no water, moisture, or other liquid enters the controller or hand control.
WARNING: The controller should be adjusted only by a qualified therapist or techni- cian. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condi- tion, the environment in which the wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the wheelchair will travel. The controller's range of adjustment and versatility is provided so that the requirements of many different abili- ties may be met, and the person setting the driving characteristics has the responsibility of making certain that the user can safely operate the wheel- chair at the speed and rates selected.
WARNING: When adjusting with the programmer, start with a slow (low number) drive profile. Increase only if the user has the ability to control the wheelchair safely.
WARNING: When adjusting with the programmer, use caution when changing the param- eters to a setting different than that provided by the standard drive profiles.
WARNING: When adjusting with the programmer, do not set reverse speed faster than forward speed.
WARNING: Ensure that wheelchair power is off before connecting or disconnecting the programmer.
WARNING: Do not disconnect the wheelchair batteries while the programmer is con- nected to the controller.
WARNING: Do not connect accessories to the batteries; it will decrease driving range and shorten battery life. Do not connect ANYTHING to only one battery; this will cause premature battery failure.
