If the wheelchair does NOT perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.

DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks/clutches until the power is in the OFF position.

DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
