Usage Safety Guidelines:

•  Check all electrical and control connections to ensure they are secured safely and firmly.  

•  Check battery levels regularly and ensure the battery is charged periodically when not in use. 

•  Keep tools and any metal objects away from the negative and positive poles of the battery. 

Short-circuits or electric shock may occur when the two poles are accidentally contacted.  

•  Familiarise yourself with Foldalite and its capabilities. 

•  Always seek assistance during your first use until you are confident enough to operate the 

chair independently and proficiently. 

•  Always be aware of any potential hazards while using the Foldalite. 

•  When the power wheelchair is not in use, turn off the power, charge the battery and store in a 

clean and dry place.  

•  The Foldalite is not waterproof. Keep away from water sources.

Joystick Control Panel:

To ensure your safety while operating your powerchair, the control panel must be securely 

mounted. If any buttons on the control panel fail or are not responding, you must stop using the 

chair immediately and contact your authorised dealer for repair or replacement.  

Stationary Position: 

When the chair is inactive, the power must be off. This will:

•  Prevent the control panel from being activated by accidental touch which may cause the chair 

to move unintentionally.  

•  Prevent the chair from electromagnetic interference sources which may activate the chair’s 

operation system and cause damage to the chair and user. 

Do not allow anyone but the user operating the control joystick.
