may cause it to feel different. Take the time to become
accustomed to this new feeling.
- Always inspect your SmartDrive, PushTracker /
E3, attachment hardware and SpeedControl dial /
SwitchControl button(s) for missing parts / damage
prior to each use [see "Maintenance" section(s) for
parts to pay attention to].
- Make sure the SmartDrive and PushTracker / E3 [if
used] are charged before use.
Always pay close attention to the surface on which you
-
are operating your wheelchair, whether your SmartDrive
is on or not, as the front casters of your wheelchair can
get stuck in cracks, ruts, holes, ledges, etc. Running into
these obstacles can cause you to tip out of your chair.
Do not operate over significantly rough terrain, very
-
slick surfaces, extreme slopes, or loose ground. This
may cause a loss of traction, leading to injury or
damage to your SmartDrive, and void the warranty.
