After prolonged use, the motors will produce heat, which
is radiated through the motors' outer casing. Do not touch
the motors' outer casing for at least 30 minutes after using
the wheelchair, to allow it to cool.
WARNING!

DANGER!
6.5 Road caution:
• Please show the utmost consideration for the other
traffic on the road.
• Remember that the last thing a car or lorry driver expects
to see is a wheelchair backing off the kerb into the road.
• If in any doubt, do not risk crossing the road until you
are certain that it is safe.
• Always cross the road as quickly as possible; there may
be other traffic.
WARNING!
6.6 Adverse conditions:
• Please be aware that when driving your wheelchair
in adverse conditions, e.g. on wet grass, mud, ice,
snow or other slippery surfaces, you may experience
a reduction in the grip and traction of your wheelchair.
We recommend you take extra precautions in these
conditions, particularly on hills and slopes; your
wheelchair could become unstable or skid causing
possible injury. Extreme variances in temperature may
trigger the self protect mechanism in the control system.
If this occurs the control system will temporarily shut
down to prevent damage to the electronics or the chair.
• When you are using a Powered Scooter or Wheelchair,
take extra care with loose or long items of clothing.
Moving parts, such as wheels, can be potentially
dangerous or even fatal if clothing becomes entangled.
WARNING!
6.7 Ramps:
• When using a ramp, please ensure that it is capable
of taking the combined weight of the power chair and
yourself.
• If a ramp is being used to load a chair into a vehicle,
please ensure the ramp is properly secured to the
vehicle.
• Always approach the ramp head-on and exercise
caution.
• Please ensure your ramp is suitable for the product you
are transporting.
WARNING!
Maximum ramp angle is defined in Section 16 Specification

using your chair.

basis.
