OWNERS MANUAL
Introduction
Congratulations on your choice of a power wheelchair! It is a
dependable vehicle built for power and performance. Its easy to operate controls
give you more of what you are looking for in a wheelchair.
But it is important that you understand what your power wheelchair is,
and what it is not. Our power wheelchairs (like all power wheelchairs) are de-
signed to provide safe, reliable transportation to older or moderately physically
disabled individuals who have difficulty in getting around. It will safely take you
everywhere the specifications indicate as long as you follow the simple safety guide-
lines shown on the next few pages.
The power wheelchair
is not an all terrain vehicle that you can use out
in the fields to drag brush around or climb steep hills. It was not meant to go
hunting in, or transport you thru hazardous environments. It also was not designed
for the severely handicapped individual who should not be in a power wheelchair.
You must have good stability, motor control and above all else, good common sense
to use our wheelchair, or any other brand. If you feel that you cannot safely oper-
ate this vehicle at all times, you should not use this power wheelchair!
Important
Please read the entire manual carefully before attempting to drive
your new power wheelchair.
Remember to read all service recommendations outlined in this manual
to achieve trouble free, safe and enjoyable operation of your power wheelchair.
Failure to follow the recommended service procedures will damage your power wheel-
chair and such damage is not covered under warranty. Contact your dealer if you
have questions after reading this manual.

ries or property damage which may occur during or because of improper use or
