As you begin using your power chair during daily activities, you will probably encounter situations in
which you will need some practice. Simply take your time and you will soon be in full and confident
control as you maneuver through doorways, on and off of lifts, up and down ramps, and over moderate
terrain.
Below are some precautions, tips, and other safety considerations that will help you become accustomed
to operating your power chair safely.
Pre-Ride Safety Check
Get to know the feel of your power chair and its capabilities. We recommend that you perform a safety
check before each use to make sure your power chair operates smoothly and safely.
Perform the following inspections prior to using your power chair:
●
Check for proper tire inflation. Maintain but do not exceed the psi air pressure rating indicated.
●
Check all electrical connections. Make sure they are tight and not corroded.
●
Check all controller connections to the power base. Make sure they are secured properly.
