1.5.3. Handling the Wheelchair
● 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 hang-
ing over the backrest, or with any heavy ob-
jects in the compartment. The wheelchair
could easily fall backward on an inclined
slope, and may cause you or people around
you to get injured.
● The wheelchair may tip over if it is operated with the anti-tip devices removed,
folded, or with the safety wheels facing upwards. Be sure to set the anti-tip de-
vices correctly and operate the wheelchair with the safety wheels in the correct
position.
● Do not connect any electric instruments to the plug on the joystick. This plug
is to connect a PC for the Smart Tune software. Plugging other electric instru-
ments like audio microphone or earphones may cause unit trouble.
About the Smart Tune software, refer to "11. Using the Wheelchair more Com-
fortably".
● Do not hang anything on the joystick on the
controller. It may get in the way of your oper-
ation, or the weight of the object may prevent
the joystick from returning to its original posi-
tion, even after your hand has released it.
In addition, if you put a rubber band around
the joystick, it may get jammed inside the con-
troller, causing the joystick to not return to its
original position.
In either case, there is a risk of the wheelchair
not stopping.
● Do not receive microwave thermotherapy
while seated in the wheelchair.
The microwaves may result in drive unit mal-
functions, accidental operations and heated
metal parts causing burns. Switch off the
power to motorized wheelchairs and place
them away from microwave thermotherapy
equipment.
