• Return tilt and recline to normal driving position when back on level ground.
When descending a ramp: (going down)
• You should raise the power seat tilt to a suitable angle to compensate for the
ramp angle. The seat angle should be in a near level position when on the ramp
or even better slightly raised. This will reduce the chance of your body falling
forward when travelling down a ramp.
• Re-adjust seat tilt angle to your normal drive position when back on level
ground.
• Always use the centre of the ramp.
• Do not veer or turn while on ramp.
• Drive wheelchair at a slow steady speed. Do not allow chair to accelerate over
normal speed. Centre the joystick to allow it to slow down or stop.
• Never use attendant brakes to slow or stop the chair. This may cause the chair
to veer or change direction erratically.
EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) ⚠ Warning
EMI (Electro-Magnetic Interference) comes from Radio Waves like Cellular phones,
CB Radios and Two Way Radio. Other sources include Transmitters from TV and
Radio stations but are unlikely to interfere unless in close proximity to the transmitter.
EMI can cause your wheelchair to behave erratically or even more so, release brakes or
move by itself un-expectantly. If this happens, immediately turn your wheelchair Off.
Before continuing, the user must be confident that the system is performing normally. If
not, turn wheelchair Off and contact your carer or Glide Rehabilitation Products Agent.
Although Glide has not had any reported instances of EMI, there has been anecdotal
evidence over many years that EMI can have an impact on power chair controllers.
Controllers ⚠ Warning
Your wheelchair has been supplied with a fully programmable controller, which has the
ability to fine-tune many driving parameters using special equipment and a PC.
At time of specification your chair would have been programmed to best suit your
individual function and ability.
Drive the chair in the mode and speed level that best suits the environment so as not to
cause injury to yourself or others.
