X850 Corpus 3G
WARNING!
Operation - inclines
Do not drive the wheelchair where the sideways gradient is
greater than that set forth in the technical specifications section
of this User's Manual. There is a risk of tipping over.
Do not drive up or down ramps that are not equipped with
proper edge protection along the sides to prevent the wheel-
chair from falling off the ramp.
When driving up an incline, be sure to drive the wheelchair
straight up the incline (perpendicular). Driving up an incline at
an angle increases the risk of tipping or falling. Use extreme
caution when driving up inclines.
Do not drive up or down hazardous inclines such as a surface
covered with snow, ice, or wet leaves, or a surface that is
uneven. Also avoid driving on ramps that do not have proper
edge protection.
WARNING!
Operation - turning
Turning your wheelchair at high speeds may cause it to topple
with personal injury as a result. The risk of tipping over is
increased by high turning speeds, sharp turns, uneven surfaces,
abrupt changes in direction, and driving from an area of low
traction (e.g. lawn) to an area of high traction (e.g. pavement).
To avoid tipping over, personal injury and property damage,
reduce speed and turn less sharply.
WARNING!
Operation - free-wheel mode
In order to prevent the wheelchair from rolling away, make sure
it is on a level surface before releasing the brakes.
To avoid personal injury, do not use your wheelchair in free-
wheel mode without an attendant present. Do not attempt to put
the wheelchair in free-wheel mode yourself while sitting in it.
Do not put your wheelchair in free-wheel mode while on an
incline. This may cause the wheelchair to roll on its own,
causing injury and property damage, including damage to the
wheelchair.
