Safety Procedures; Parts Description - Pride POWER ASSIST Owner's Manual

The PowerAssist must not be used solely by the wheelchair user under any circumstances.
• Ensure the PowerAssist is installed as far to the rear of the wheelchair as is comfortable for the
attendant to do so.
• When connecting / disconnecting the battery from the motor or the charger make sure both the
power to the charger and PowerAssist handle control are switched off.
• Note: Wheelchairs fitted with attendant cable brakes. On such wheelchairs, the attendant brake
levers should be removed prior to fitting. If the attendant brakes do not have a separate parking
brake facility, then parking brakes should be added to the wheelchair
• Ensure the PowerAssist is secured in transit. It is also recommended that the battery is
disconnected.
• Ensure that the battery is charged only with the battery charger supplied with the PowerAssist.
Using another battery charger may cause damage or injury.
• The PowerAssist may be susceptible to certain types of electromagnetic waves.
Avoid close proximity to mobile phones, commercial broadcast towers and emergency
services' radios. Other household appliances are not known to pose any such risk. If
involuntary movement occurs, switch off of the PowerAssist and report this to your dealer.
• The PowerAssist should not be used when it is snowing or during heavy rain. This may cause
damage to the PowerAssist. The PowerAssist should not be exposed to damp conditions or
direct sunlight.
