Safety Measures and Precautions
Please read this User Manual carefully and familiarize yourself with your Companion
Plus in an indoor environment prior to using the Companion Plus outdoors. When ready,
take your first drive in a non-crowded area and always start driving slowly from Speed
Mode 1.
IMPORTANT
•
Read this User Manual prior to using your Companion Plus power assist.
•
The use of your Companion Plus by a person unfamiliar with this user manual may result in
serious injury or death.
•
It is recommended to use the wheelchair anti-tippers during the training period until you are
accustomed to the controls.
•
Cheelcare is not responsible for any injuries or damages caused by using the Companion
Plus in contravention of (1) this User Manual’s instructions and recommendations, (2) the
direction of an authorized dealer; and/or (3) the technical limitations and recommendations
of your wheelchair manufacturer.
MECHANICAL OPERATION
•
We strongly recommend using side guards to avoid contact with moving and rotating parts
as they may result in serious physical injury. Contact your wheelchair dealer if you do not
have any.
•
To prevent accidental activation of your Companion Plus, always completely turn the power
OFF when parked, transferring from/to the wheelchair, or loading/unloading.
•
Power OFF the Companion Plus BY KEY and remove it from the ignition. Using only the
power button to power OFF is not sufficient.
•
Regularly check that all mechanical parts connecting your Companion Plus to your
wheelchair are fastened tightly and are free of any damage.
•
Check the LCD battery status before using your Companion Plus to avoid depleting it
completely while you are away from a recharging power source. Keep the battery charger
with you if your planned trip might take you farther than
the unit’s current range.
•
To avoid injury when lifting, loading, or unloading the Companion Plus, do not put your
hands between the kickstand and the Power Unit.
•
Do not insert anything into the charging port other than the charger that was supplied with
your Companion Plus. Doing so may lead to unit damage or personal injury.
•
In case of any malfunction, turn the Companion Plus OFF and remove the key, then contact
your local dealer or Cheelcare for support.
•
Any modification to your Companion Plus will void the warranty and may compromise your
safety.
