In spite of its sophistication, the R-net cannot take into account circumstances which put the
wheelchair or the controller outside of their specified operating conditions, and so it is important
that the user follows the precautions below:
1) Do not drive the wheelchair:
a) beyond restrictions indicated in the wheelchair user manual, for example maximum
inclines, curb height etc.
b) in places or on surfaces where a loss of wheel grip could be hazardous, for example
on wet grassy slopes.
c) if the controller or other crucial components are known to require repair.
Although the R-net control system is designed and manufactured to be extremely reliable and each
unit rigorously tested, possibility of a system malfunction always exists (however small the
probability). Under some conditions of detected system malfunction, the controller must (for safety
reasons) stop the chair instantaneously. If the physical impairments of the user are such that a
sudden braking action could result in a fall from the chair, it is imperative that a restraining device
such as a seat belt be purchased and installed with the chair. Restraining devices should be used at
all times when the wheelchair is in motion.
