  • Page 9: Operation Diagnosis Check

    1.3. Operation Diagnosis Check Depending on the extent of your disabilities, it may be dangerous to travel unaccompanied. Use this diag- nosis check as a guide to determine whether or not you can travel unaccompanied. WARNING ● Before using the wheelchair, be sure to assess your competence and determine whether or not you need an assistant. Moreover, in determining the necessity of an assistant, consult expert opinions as a point of reference.

  • Page 10: Assistive Operation Diagnosis Check

    1.4. Assistive Operation Diagnosis Check Use the diagnosis check below as a guide to determine whether or not you can provide assistive operation. WARNING ● If an assistant is to accompany you and operate the wheelchair, be sure to assess his or her competence. Moreover, when assessing the assistant’s competence, consult expert opinions as a point of reference. If your judgment is based solely on your own opinion, you or other people around you may get injured.

  • Page 11: Warnings And Notes For The Operation

    1.5. Warnings and Notes for the Operation Read this manual before using the product. Read this manual carefully to ensure safe and comfortable operation. After reading it, store it where it can be accessed easily for future reference. Unless specifically noted, the following information applies to when the user is operating the wheelchair themselves and when an assistant is operating the wheelchair using the assistant operations.
  • Page 12 WARNING ● Before using the wheelchair each day, ensure that the anti-tip devices are in the correct position. If the anti-tip devices are not in the correct position, the wheelchair could fall backward. ● Before using the wheelchair each day, check the residual capacity of the battery. If the residual capacity of the battery is low, the battery may run out during operation and it may become impossible to travel in power drive mode.
  • Page 13 1.5.3. Handling the Wheelchair WARNING ● Modifying the unit or its mounting may adversely affect its performance and safety. Never make any modifications. ● If the wheelchair has parts that are foldable or detachable, do not operate the wheelchair with those parts folded or removed. ● When lifting the wheelchair, do not hold movable parts. ● Do not operate with any heavy baggage hanging over the backrest, or with any heavy objects in the compartment. The wheelchair could easily fall backward on an inclined slope, and may cause you or other people around you to get injured.
  • Page 14 WARNING ● While operating the wheelchair, be careful not to get your hands tangled in the wheel spokes, wheel holes, etc. 1.5.4. Getting In/Out of the Wheelchair, Seating WARNING ● When getting in the wheelchair by yourself or when the assistant has the user of the wheelchair get in the wheelchair, ensure that the wheelchair is on a level ground.
  • Page 15 1.5.5. General Operation WARNING ● Never ride the wheelchair with two people. The wheelchair may malfunction or the people rid- ing it may get injured. ● Never operate the wheelchair after consuming alcohol or taking medicine that causes drowsiness. ● Never operate the wheelchair while holding an umbrella or other items. ● Never tow the wheelchair. Do not use the wheelchair to tow or pull anything. ● If you want to use a portable phone, etc., stop the wheelchair at a safe place and turn off the wheelchair.
  • Page 16 WARNING ● Do not turn the power switch off while traveling. It causes the brakes to be applied to the rear wheels in some cases and may cause you to fall down from the wheelchair. Power switch ● Do not use the wheelchair for transporting luggage or for any other purpose than to provide assistance to a disabled per son.
  • Page 17 In the following environments and situations, you may need an assistant to accompany you and to operate the wheelchair for you. In such cases, have an assistant accompany you. Traveling alone in these situations may lead to injury. Moreover, check to see if any dangers such as those shown below exist in the roads you use on a daily basis.
  • Page 18 WARNING ● When traveling near a ditch, the tire may fall into it if there is a gap even if it is covered. Have an assistant accompany you instead of traveling alone. ● If there are any obstacles, stop the wheelchair and check in front of you and behind you for safety before proceeding. ● If an oncoming vehicle is near, stop the wheelchair, wait for the vehicle to pass, and then check in front of you and behind you for safety before proceeding. ● Do not operate the wheelchair outdoors at night. Not being able to see the road conditions, you may lose balance and fall, or people or cars may collide into you if they cannot recognize you.
  • Page 19 WARNING ● Do not operate the power switch on a slope. The wheelchair behaves as a normal wheelchair while switched off. It may start to move. Park on a level place and apply the parking brake when you operate the power switch. ● Do not abruptly turn on a downhill slope. In addition, do not traverse horizontally or diagonally across a steep slope.
  • Page 20 1.5.8. Going Up/Down Curbs WARNING The wheelchairs equipped with the E-Move are built to be lighter compared to other electric wheelchairs that use a heavier general lead battery. For this reason, when a person sits in it, the overall center of gravity may be different. Therefore, use caution when traveling on a curb. ● When traveling in power drive mode, the wheelchair can clear level differences of approx- imately 25 mm (1 inch) (varies depending on the caster size).
  • Page 21 1.5.9. Crossing Roads WARNING ● You cannot cross a road where pedestrians are prohibited from crossing. ● When crossing at an unfamiliar location, have an assistant accompany you. ● If the residual capacity of the battery is low, the wheelchair may stall while crossing a street. Check the residual capacity of the battery before crossing. ● Before crossing a road, be sure to check to the left and right for safety. ● Do not cross a road if it is dangerous to do so, such as if an automobile is approaching. ● When crossing a road, proceed as close as possible at a right angle to the road. Do not cross the road diagonally. ● Cross a road at a location where there is a traffic light or crosswalk. ● When crossing a street at a crosswalk with no traffic light, pay sufficient attention to the traffic.
  • Page 22 1.5.10. Railroad Crossings WARNING ● Avoid railroad crossings if you can go around them. ● If you have no choice but to travel over a railroad crossing, have an assistant accompany you. ● Be sure to stop before the railroad crossing and check to the left and right for safety. ● When traveling over a railroad crossing, proceed as close as possible at a right angle to the railroad tracks. If you travel diagonally, the wheelchair casters may get caught in the railroad tracks. ● Be careful not to travel too close to the edge when traveling over a railroad crossing. Other- wise, the wheels could accidentally move off the railroad crossing.
  • Page 23 WARNING ● Do not drive the wheelchair on a frozen surface. You may not be able to stop the wheelchair. ● Go around locations where snow or water has ac- cumulated or have an assistant accompany you. In such places where you do not know the road conditions or if the wheelchair slips, you could lose control or the brakes may become ineffective. If the wheelchair travels through a deep puddle and water enters the drive units, the wheelchair could stop.
  • Page 24 1.5.13. Using Public and Private Transportation WARNING ● When using public transportation, check to ensure that wheelchair use is allowed beforehand. In addition, follow the rules and instructions when boarding the vehicle. ● When using a private automobile, it is recommended that the user moves to a fixed seat in the vehicle and uses the three-pint safety belt. See Appendix A. ● When getting on/off a lift vehicle, always have an assistant accompany you to ensure safety.
  • Page 25 1.5.15. Transporting and Storing the Wheelchair WARNING ● When lifting a wheelchair with tilt-up arm support, never lift it by the arm support. Other- wise, the arm support may come off and cause an injury or damage to the equipment. ● When lifting a wheelchair, never lift it by the battery, cable, or controller. Otherwise, any of these devices may come off and cause an injury or damage to the equipment. ● Do not turn the wheelchair upside down. Doing so may cause parts of the wheelchair to fall off, resulting in an injury or damage to the equipment.
