• Do not use a damaged or badly worn Powerstroll — risk of
harm.
• Check the functionality of the Powerstroll before every use,
using the method listed in section 8.3. Check the current
fastest speed setting is appropriate. (It is recommended to
use a slower speed setting at the beginning of every use,
gradually increasing the speed setting as appropriate.)
• Do not use the Powerstroll in rain, ice or snow conditions.
Such exposure can damage the Powerstroll and put the
user at risk. If exposed to moisture, do not operate the
Powerstroll until it has dried thoroughly.
• Do not drive on tall grass or loose surfaces, such as gravel
or sand, or in muddy conditions.
• Reduced speed and care should be taken when navigating
obstacles.
• Do not attempt to navigate on slopes greater than 6°.
• If unintended movement of the Powerstroll occurs, release
the trigger to automatically stop the Powerstroll. Do not
use the power switch to stop your Powerstroll unless an
emergency requires the powering down of the Powerstroll.
• The Powerstroll has a weight capacity of 115kg (18st);
overloading will cause overheating and excessive battery
drain.

using the product or while in contact with other individuals.
• Misused electrical equipment can be hazardous.
• Do not operate the Powerstroll while under the influence of
alcohol or when excessively tired.
• Only approved parts, specified for the Powerstroll, should
be used. Accessories that have not been approved or
designed for use with the Powerstroll are not to be used —
a hazard could be introduced due to product combination
incompatibility. If in doubt, contact Drive DeVilbiss
Healthcare Ltd.

not allowed without the permission of Drive DeVilbiss
