Warning!
When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Drive your power chair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a
tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
Warning!
You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered
with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
Warning!
If your power chair is equipped with a reclining seatback, do not attempt to negotiate
inclines with the seat in a reclined position. Do not attempt to negotiate obstacles with
the seat in a reclined position unless an attendant is present to help stabilize the chair.
Failure to heed could result in the power chair tipping over.
Warning!
Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the power chair to tip.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the
possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to: cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you
are turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area
of high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area – especially at high speed while
turning), and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that
you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the
turn) to prevent your power chair from tipping.
Warning!
When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of gravity.
This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.
BATTERIES
Please charge the batteries after long distance driving to prolong the battery. If you don't drive the chair
for along period of time, then charge at least every month. Please use a maintenance/water-free battery
to avoid trouble.
MOTOR
The carbon brush connector & brakes should be replaced regularly.
