Setup and Adjustments for Safety
For maximum safety, a qualified technician must perform the initial setup and all adjustments of this
wheelchair. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver, wheelchair, bystanders, or surround-
ing property. After the wheelchair has been set-up/adjusted, check to make sure that the wheel-
chair performs to the specifications entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does not
perform to specifications, re-enter set-up specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair
performs to specifications.
Operator Safety
There are many inherent dangers while operating a power wheelchair. Read carefully and observe
all of the precautions below.
· DANGER:
Cell phones are a vital necessity for your safety, and should be used in case of an emer-
gency to call for help and to notify loved ones. However, warnings about driving while
talking on cell phones also apply to power wheelchair operation. In addition to the dis-
traction safety issue, you also have possible electromagnetic interference (EMI) that can
disrupt the control system (see the EMI section for more information). Do not use a cell
phone, walkie/talkie, laptop, or other radio transmitter while operating your wheelchair.
Lap belts are very important in a wheelchair. Never operate your wheelchair without
first fastening the lap belt.
DO NOT sit on the power wheelchair when riding in a vehicle: instead, transfer to a
vehicle seat.
DO NOT transfer onto or from the wheelchair unless the brakes are engaged and the
controls are powered off.
DO NOT ride on streets, roads, or highways except for crossing walkways.
DO NOT attempt to move an occupied power wheelchair between floors using a stair-
wayorescalator.UseanElevatortomoveanoccupiedpowerwheelchairbetween
