6 Precautions for Use
In the event of the wheelchair moving in an unexpected way
RELEASE THE JOYSTICK. This action will stop the wheelchair
under any circumstances.
6.1 Hazards
Do not drive the wheelchair:
• Beyond restrictions indicated in your wheelchair user manual, for example
maximum inclines, curb height etc.
• In places or on surfaces where a loss of wheel grip could be hazardous, for
example on wet grassy slopes.
• If you know that the control system or other crucial components require
repair.
Although the VR2 control system is designed to be extremely
reliable and each unit is rigorously tested during
manufacture, the possibility of a system malfunction always
exists (however small the probability). Under some conditions
of system malfunction the control system must (for safety
reasons) stop the chair instantaneously. If there is any
possibility of the user falling out of the chair as a result of
a sudden braking action, it is imperative that a restraining
device such as a seat belt is supplied with the wheelchair
and that it is in use at all times when the wheelchair is in
motion. PGDT accept no liability for losses of any kind
arising from the unexpected stopping of the wheelchair, or
arising from the improper use of the wheelchair or control
system.
Do not operate the control system if the chair behaves
erratically, or shows abnormal signs of heating, sparks or
smoke. Turn the control system off at once and consult
your service agent. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of
any kind arising from failure to comply with this condition.
Electronic equipment can be affected by Electro Magnetic
Interference (EMI). Such interference may be generated by
radio stations, TV stations, other radio transmitters and
cellular phones. If the chair exhibits erratic behavior due to
EMI, turn the control system off immediately and consult
your service agent. PGDT accepts no liability for losses of
