DO NOT ride your power wheelchair without wearing your lap belt at all times or
serious injury may result. This is especially important on ramps or inclines.
DO NOT drive up, down or across inclines greater than the rating for your style power
wheelchair or tipping will result. Refer to the Specication Sheet (Please Note:
Soft surfaces reduce the incline capability by more than 50%). Wet or slick surfaces
reduce steering and braking controls tremendously. Use extreme caution in these
circumstances.
DO NOT travel down ramps at high speed. Doing so will reduce traction and increase
stopping distance.

attempt to ride a power wheelchair that has been soaked until it has had a chance to dry
thoroughly.
