OPERATION 

 

The power wheelchair is simple to operate. However , we recommend that you read 

carefully the following instructions to become familiarized with your new vehicle. 

A Word of Caution: 

Before you turn the power on, always be aware of the environment that surrounds you 

to select your desired speed. For indoor environments we recommend that you select 

the slowest speed setting. For outdoor operation of this vehicle we recommend that 

you select a speed that is comfortable for you to control it safely.
