7. Make sure the electromagnetic brake works correctly.
8. Make sure it is safe around you before you drive onto the street.
Warning!
Do not set in the freewheel mode when driving on a gradient.
Always engage the freewheel device before use. Failure to do so may result in injury.
To protect your safety, the power will automatically cut off and electromagnetic brake system will
activate while driving down a steep gradient. This will limit the speed to a safe level. Turn the
power on again to re-start your power chair.
Maximum User Weight Limit
Refer to section "MAX. LOAD WEIGHT" in " 9. SPECIFICATION ". Overloading past
the weight limit may lead to damage of your power chair or cause it to malfunction and will
endanger your own safety. The warranty does not cover this type of damage.
Attention
1. Avoid putting all of your weight on the footrest. This may cause the power chair to tip, possibly
resulting in injury.
2. Do not turn the power switch to OFF while driving as this will lead to an emergency stop and
possible risk of accident and injury.
3. Do not set to the higher speeds while driving indoors.
4. Do not adjust the speed dial while driving; a sudden change in speed may cause danger to you and
others, and may damage your power chair.

of your power chair.
6. Do be careful while driving in heavy traffic or crowded areas.
7. While reversing the power chair, beware of people or objects behind you.
