ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
Environmental conditions may affect the safety and performance of your power
wheelchair. Water and extreme temperatures are the main elements that can cause
damage and effect performance.
A) Rain, Sleet and Snow
If exposed to water, your power wheelchair is susceptible to damage to electronic
or mechanical components. Water can cause electronic malfunction or promote
premature corrosion of electrical components and frame.
B) Temperature
Some of the parts of the power wheelchair are susceptible to change in tempera-
ture. The controller can only operate in temperature that ranges between 18℉(-8
℃) and 122℉(50℃).
At extreme low temperatures, the batteries may freeze, and your power wheelchair
may not be able to operate. In extreme high temperatures, it may operate at slower
speeds due to a safety feature of the controller that prevents damage to the motors and
other electrical components.
