GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
8
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from
freezing; for those living in cold climates, make
sure you store the wheelchair properly. Never charge a
frozen battery. Charging a frozen battery may result in
damage to the battery.
WARNING! Do not remove fuses/overload trips
from the circuitry. If they appear damaged,
contact your authorised provider for service.
WARNING! Do not operate the wheelchair with
depleted batteries; you could be stranded.
WARNING! Reduce your speed, do not make any
sharp turns and maintain a stable center of
gravity while turning/cornering. To prevent tipping,
avoid shifting your weight in the opposite direction of
the turn.
WARNING! While driving up inclines or door
thresholds etc., drive your wheelchair straight on
with the wheels perpendicular to the incline and/or
threshold; both front wheels should contact at the same
time. To reduce the possibility of a fall, do not drive at
an angle; do not get one wheel or side of the wheelchair
on the incline/threshold first. Always exercise extreme
caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! Do not travel up or down potentially
hazardous surfaces and/or inclines, including but
not limited to areas covered with snow, ice, cut grass,
or wet leaves.
WARNING! When climbing an incline, try to keep
the wheelchair moving. If stopping is necessary,
start up again slowly and then accelerate with caution.
WARNING! When descending an incline, use the
slowest speed possible. If the descent is faster
than you desire, release the joystick control lever to
stop the wheelchair. Then press the joystick control
lever slightly to control the speed of your descent.
