VII. OPERATION
Your LiteRider PTC is simple to operate. However, for your safety and the safety of others, Golden Technologies, Inc. recommends that you carefully read and understand the following operating instructions. We also recommend that you practice operating your LiteRider PTC in an area free of any obstacles. Once you have gained confidence in your ability to control your power chair, you will more easily be able to operate it in normal daily conditions.
A WORD OF CAUTION
Before turning on the power of your LiteRider PTC, take note of your environment and set your speed control accordingly. (See “Speed Control Buttons” figure 15 on page 24) For indoor driving, we recommend that you select the lowest speed setting. For outdoor driving, we recommend that you select a speed setting at which you feel comfortable, safe, and in control of your power chair. Familiarize yourself with the features of your LiteRider PTC described below and follow the instructions to safely operate your power chair.
