Positioning Belts; Batteries; Removable Parts - Warning; Preventing Unintended Movement - Pride Mobility Quantum 600 Sport Owner's Manual

Positioning Belts

Your Quantum Rehab Dealer, therapist(s) and other healthcare professionals are responsible for determining your requirement
for a positioning belt in order to operate your power chair safely. The positioning belt is not designed for use as a restraining
device in a motor vehicle. You should be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer with your power
chair properly stowed for vehicle transport or secured using an optional transit securement system.
Positioning belts should be installed as detailed in this manual. See V. "Comfort Adjustments." Once installed, the belt
should be placed across the pelvis as determined by your healthcare provider. Anchor points of the positioning belts should
be located so that a projected side-view angle of the pelvis is between 45°-75° of horizontal depending on the user's
weight, posture and seat cushion thickness.
WARNING! If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your power chair, make sure it is
fastened securely in order to reduce the possibility of a fall from the power chair.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is
your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should be
properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer. If your power chair is equipped
with a manufacturer-installed transit securement system, please refer to the supplemental safety
information provided with your power chair.

Batteries

In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more
information about your power chair's batteries, see VI. "Batteries and Charging."
Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts, including the
armrests, seat, front riggings, controller and shrouds.

Preventing Unintended Movement

WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of time,
turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent joystick contact. This
will also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic (EM) sources.
