ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Environmental conditions may affect the safety and performance of your power wheelchair. Water
and extreme temperatures are the main elements that can cause damage and affect performance.
A) Rain, Sleet and Snow
If exposed to water, your power wheelchair is susceptible to damage to electronic or mechanical
components. Water can cause electronic malfunction or promote premature corrosion of electrical
components and frame.
B) Temperature
Some of the parts of the power wheelchair are susceptible to change in tempera-
ture. The controller can only operate in temperature that range between 18℉(-8℃) and 122℉(50
℃).
At extreme low temperatures, the batteries may freeze, and your power wheelchair may not be able
to operate. In extreme high temperatures, it may operate at slower speeds due to a safety feature of
the controller that prevents damage to the motors and other electrical components.
