When operating on wet or frictionless ground surfaces, please carefully
move at a slow speed and follow the safety guidelines below:
● When any of the motor wheels losses traction, the chair must be
stopped immediately to avoid losing control of the chair (e.g.
slipping, tipping over, etc.).
● Do not drive into slopes or ramps covered with snow, ice, water,
oil, etc.
Road Surfaces
This wheelchair is designed optimally for dry level surfaces; such as
concrete and indoor ground flooring.
Do not use wheelchair on sand, uneven or loose surfaces, tall grass or
rough road surfaces to prevent the wheels, bearings, axis, motor and other
parts from
being damaged or loosened.
When using your wheelchair you are a pedestrian. Use the sidewalks if
available and be especially careful when in parking lots.
Vehicle Transport
Please be aware that it is at your own risk and is not advisable
to sit in the wheelchair when taking any forms of
transportation such as cars, buses, trains, planes or ships.
If you must take such forms of transportation while remaining in the chair, it
is extremely important that you secure yourself with the vehicle seat belt,
power off the chair and push the brake lever to“Lock” position. Ensure
there is no movement of the wheels and have the chair securely tied down.
This will help prevent injuries during sudden stops. This chair is ultra-
compact and taking any transportation is made possible as you can fold the
chair conveniently and store it away in small areas such as a car trunk.
If you need to be transferred on or off a vehicle manually without getting off the
chair, never allow anyone to lift the chair by the armrest or rear backrest. The chair
must be lifted by firmly gripping the front and rear edges of the seat cushion frame.
Weight Distribution
To avoid tipping over while driving, the balance and stability of the power wheelchair
must not be neglected. The following factors may affect the weight
distribution of the chair:
● Height and angle of the chair.
● Seating position, or weight loading position of the user’s body.
● The gradient of the ramp or slope.
● Load carried in storage basket or by the user may have adverse effects
to the weight distribution of the chair.
