SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please use your Powerchair often and let it expand your horizons. The more mobility your Powerchair brings, the happier we will be! But, with all things, observing a few rules will ensure safe maneuvering. So please…
(1)Do not drive the Powerchair without reading this instruction manual.
(2)Do not exceed the safe climbing maximum angle (Table 2).
(3)Do not use the joystick in an erratic manner when going up or down an incline.
(4)Do not carry passengers or exceed the maximum user weight (Table 2).
(5)Do not turn off the joystick controller by switching the On / Off Button when moving at speed. This will bring the electromagnetic brakes on immediately and could cause damage to the joystick controller.
(6)Do not drive over deep and soft terrain (soft dirt, loose gravel, deep grass).
(7)Do not attempt to mount a curb height above 50mm (2”) unless the Curb Skippers are installed (before using, refer to page 10, Fig.8).
(8)Do not mount or dismount the Powerchair unless the electromagnetic brakes are engaged and the joystick controller is off.
(9)Do not operate the Powerchair if the unit is in freewheel mode.
(10)Do not use on the road, except when crossing between sidewalks.
(11)Do not sit on the Powerchair when in a vehicle, but transfer to a vehicle seat.
(12)Do not exceed any grade over 8 degrees (14%).
(13)Always stop fully before changing forward or reverse direction.
(14)Always engage a slow speed when going down gradients (move the joystick slowly towards center position to reduce the speed).
(15)Always approach and climb over curbs at slow speed.
(16)Always use the safety belt (Fig.13).
(17)Always keep the feet on the footrest while driving.
(18)Always make sure the batteries are fully charged before setting out on a journey.
