Keep your feet on the footrests while riding the power wheelchair to avoid hitting
them on objects as you drive. Always wear shoes while operating your power
wheelchair.
Always wear your lap belt when riding your power wheelchair.
Secure the removable seat assembly before operating the power wheelchair to
prevent yourself from falling from the seat while moving.
Remember, The power wheelchair is built to carry a single person. Do not carry
passengers under any circumstances or accidents and bodily injury will occur.
Ensure driving surface, ramp, platform lift or elevator is capable of supporting
combined weight of user and wheelchair.
Always
go straight up or down curb cuts. You want the front wheels and the rear wheels
to climb up or go down together, not one at a time. Not doing this will result in the
power wheelchair
violently swinging from side to side (as a car would in a ditch)
or the
power wheelchair
overturning. Also approach curb access ramps the same
way, straight on, not at an angle. NEVER attempt to go up or down a regular height
curb or tipping and personal injury will result!
Warning Driving the power wheelchair in busy streets, busy parking lots, or in crowded
shopping malls can be dangerous for you or other people as you may be struck
by a vehicle or you might strike a pedestrian. Use caution in congested areas
at all times.
Lean forward a slight amount when traveling up an incline.
NEVER
leave your
power wheelchair
exposed to the elements. This includes storage
outside or carrying the
power wheelchair
on an outside car-lift during periods of
high moisture ( mist, rain, snow, etc.) or any other inclement weather (dust or sand
storms, etc.). Use only a damp rag to clean your
power wheelchair
(never use sol-
vents or abrasive cleaners). The use of excessive water, as from a garden hose or
bucket may cause damage to your
power wheelchairs
electronics.
Use caution when driving off even a small curb or raised surface. The act of dropping
off the edge subjects the power wheelchair to extreme forces that can damage
the frame and other components. This type of damage is not covered under war-
ranty.
