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 affect 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 range 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.
