Hoveround mpv5 Owner's Manual And Warranty page 11

To avoid serious injury or death from being struck by a motor
vehicle, when driving your power wheelchair near traffic:
• Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules.
• Cross roads at locations where you are most visible to motor
traffic, if possible at a light-controlled pedestrian crossing
with handicapped cutouts.
• Cross the road by the most direct route.
To reduce the chance of serious injury or death from
tip-over, collision with obstacles, loss of control, or falling
from the power wheelchair, keep yourself properly
positioned in the seat:
• Keep your seat belt fastened.
• Drive with the seatback only in a fully upright, locked and
forward facing position.
• Keep your back against the seatback, arms on the armrests,
and your feet on the footplate.
• Do not reach over the back of the chair or lean excessively
forward or sideways.
• Do not push, pull, or lean on the folding seat back if it has
not been locked into place with the seat locking screw.
• Do not carry passengers or cargo.
• Do not stand on footplate. Do not put weight on
footplate, armrest or controller while getting into or
out of the power wheelchair.
