Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more
information about your travel chair's batteries, see VI. "Batteries and Charging."
Removable Parts
WARNING! Do not attempt to lift or move a Go-Chair by any of its removable parts, including the
armrests, seat, front riggings, controller and shrouds.
Preventing Unintended Movement
WARNING! If you anticipate being seated in a stationary position for an extended period of
time, turn off the power. This will prevent unexpected motion from inadvertent joystick contact.
This will also eliminate the possibility of unintended chair movement from electromagnetic
(EM) sources.
Reaching and Bending
Never reach, lean or bend while driving your Go-Chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean or bend while seated on
your Go-Chair, it is important to maintain a stable centre of gravity and keep the Go-Chair from tipping. Pride recommends
that the Go-Chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the presence of a
qualified healthcare professional.

MANDATORY! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead
compounds. Wear goggles and gloves when handling batteries and wash hands after
handling.
WARNING! Go-Chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to
lift that much weight, be sure to get help. Use proper lifting techniques and avoid
lifting beyond your capacity.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery.
Charging a frozen battery may result in damage to the battery.
WARNING! Connect your battery harnesses in the proper manner. RED (+) cables must
be connected to positive (+) battery terminals/posts. BLACK (-) cables must be
connected to negative (-) battery terminals/posts. Protective caps should be installed
over all battery terminals. REPLACE cables immediately if damaged.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the
floor by reaching down between your knees or if you have to reach over the back of
the seat. Movements such as these may change your centre of gravity and the weight
distribution of the Go-Chair. This may cause your Go-Chair to tip.
WARNING! Keep your hands away from the tyres when driving. Be aware that loose
fitting clothing can become caught in drive tyres.
