● In areas with an incline, do not switch the clutch levers to the manual position.
The wheelchair may start moving unexpectedly, and may collide or tip over.
● Do not operate the clutch levers while the wheelchair is in motion. There is a
risk of collision or tipping over.

If you switch the clutch levers to the manual position while traveling in power
drive, the motor brake loses its effect and the wheelchair may go out of control.
If you switch the clutch levers to the power drive position while traveling in the
manual drive, brakes are applied to the rear tires. This abrupt braking can cause
your body to plunge forward or damage the wheelchair.
● Removing the battery while traveling causes
the brakes to be applied to the rear tires, and
may cause you or people around you to get
injured.
● Turning off the power switch while traveling
causes the brakes to be applied to the rear
tires, and you or people around you may get
injured.
● While the wheelchair is being operated or
after operation, do not touch the back of the
drive units. During or after operation, the back
of the drive units may be hot. In addition, if
the wheelchair is near a source of heat, the
drive units may become hot.
● While operating the wheelchair, be careful not
to get your hands tangled in the wheel spokes,
wheel holes, etc.
● The wheels of E-Drive PLUS 16" are not equipped with hand rims. When operat-
ing E-Drive PLUS 16", do not manually drive the wheelchair by holding its rear
tires or wheels. You may injure yourself.
● When moving past hedgerows and trees, maintain a suitable distance to prevent
the rear wheels from coming into contact with twigs or other protruding items.
If twigs or other items from hedgerows and trees get caught in the rear wheels
when operating the wheelchair, it may result in the wheels becoming locked, the
clutch lever being knocked into the manual position, collisions or the wheel-
chair tipping over.
