General Warnings
D82007778Q 09/15
To reduce the chance of serious injury or death from tip-over,
collision with obstacles and other people, loss of control, or falling
from the power wheelchair,
drive in proper environments
such as
typical indoor areas with level, dry floors with adequate structural
support, and outdoor concrete, asphalt, compacted soil, gravel
and surfaces that are level and dry:
• Do not drive across or sideways on a ramp or slope; go straight
up or down.
• Do not attempt to drive on a slope in reverse.
• Avoid ramps and slopes that are too steep, such as those that
exceed 5 degrees. For example, a 12-inch ruler with one end raised
1 inch will have a 5 degree slope (See the video for example).
• Avoid uneven or unstable surfaces such as potholes, broken
pavement, grass, gravel, sand, wet leaves or cut grass.
• Never attempt to drive a power wheelchair off or up onto a curb,
stairs higher than 2.0 inches, or an escalator.
• Avoid slippery surfaces such as ice, oily, polished, and/or treated
surfaces.
• Secure or remove any loose rugs or carpets and remove obstacles
from the travel paths in your home.
• Drive slowly over thresholds and when traveling from one type of
surface to another.
• Do not operate the power wheelchair in conditions such as rain,
standing water, sleet, slush or snow.
• Do not sit in your power wheelchair while riding in a motor vehicle,
even if the chair is secured to the vehicle and you are using the
chair's seat belt.
• We strongly recommend that you do not remain seated in your
power chair while traveling in a motor vehicle. The power chair
should be stowed in a trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or
van with batteries removed and properly secured. In addition,
all removable power chair parts, including the armrests, seat, front
riggings, controller, and shrouds should be removed and/or properly
secured during motor vehicle transport.
