A good driving posture is necessary for both comfort and safety.
You must have a clear line of sight ahead of your power wheelchair,
a good view of the joystick/controller and comfortable hand access
to the joystick and speed/response control.
• Unintentional or unexpected motion increases the chances
of a collision or fall from the seat and can result in serious
injury or death. Press the power button to OFF before
making any adjustments to your power wheelchair.
• Driving with the seatback reclined makes it difficult to see
where you are going and increases the chance of serious
injury or death from collision and tip-over. Do not attempt
to drive this power wheelchair with seatback reclined.
• Inspect all areas of the skin in contact with power wheel
chair daily. Discontinue use and contact physician at signs
of skin irritation or discomfort.
• Do not use power wheelchair until evaluated and instructed
to do so by a qualified clinician.
• Improper seating position can lead to skin lesions or ulcers.
Individuals with diabetes or other neurological sensory
deficits are at increased chance of injury due to prolonged
sitting or improper positioning.
