Driving Your MPV5 Power Wheelchair
• Sudden change in motion, loss of control, or tip-over may
cause a collision or fall from the seat and result in serious injury
or death. Always make sure that the power is OFF before
getting into or out of the seat.
• Always fasten seat belt to maintain proper positioning in the
seat. Set speed/response control of joystick to minimum while
learning to drive the power wheelchair.
Driving with the seat-back reclined makes it difficult to see
where you are going and increases the chance of serious injury
or death from collision and tip-over. Do not attempt to drive this
power wheelchair with seat-back reclined.
Standing on the footplate increases the chances of a fall or
tip-over of the chair and can result in serious injury or death. Be
sure to secure footplate in upright position and place both feet
firmly on ground when getting into or out of the seat.
