VII.Safety
Vehicle Transport
Please be aware that it is at your own risk and is not advisable to sit on the Smart Chair
when taking any forms of transportation such as cars, buses, trains, planes or ships.
If you must take such forms of transportation while remaining in the chair, it is extremely important
that you secure your positioning waist belt and power off the chair and push the brake lever to “Drive”
position, inspect no movement to the motor wheels and have the chair securely tied down. This will
help prevent injuries during sudden stops. However, as this chair is ultra-compact, taking any
transportation is made possible as you can fold the chair conveniently and can be stored away in tight
storage areas such as a car trunk. Please ensure the chair is stored securely in order to avoid injury.
If you need to be transferred on or off a vehicle manually without getting off the chair, never allow
anyone to lift the chair by the armrest or rear backrest. The chair must be lifted by firmly gripping the
front and rear edges of the seat cushion frame.
Weight Distribution
To avoid tipping over while driving, the balance and stability of the power wheelchair must not be
neglected. The following factors may affect the weight distribution of the chair:
• Height and angle of the chair.
• Seating position, or weight loading position of the user’s body.
• The gradient of the ramp or slope.
• Load carried in storage basket or by the user may have adverse effects to the weight
distribution of the chair.
Do not modify or adjust Smart Chair’s configuration or construction yourself.
