Ramps

The  stability  of  your Powerchair  is  governed  by  several  factors  such  as  the  seating

position,  the  angle  of  the  slope  and  your  height  and  weight.   When  approaching  an

incline, do so directly and not at an angle and where ever possible avoid making turns.

When going down a ramp or slope keep the speed settings to slow.  This will ensure

there is a safe controlled descent.  When the thumb levers are released the Powerchair

will slowly stop.

Safe Climbing Angle

Always follow the guidelines of the safe climbing angle as shown in figure 8. Failure to

observe the safe climbing angle may result in Injury to the user or damage to the unit.

Caution - Do not turn off the main switch key while the unit is in motion

Grass and Gravel

Please  follow  the  guidelines  given  previously  and  your Powerchair  will  perform

admirably over many surfaces.  Avoid long grass, loose gravel and sand.

NOTE:  You  should  not  operate  your Powerchair  in  wet  weather  or  on  wet

surfaces.    This  may  cause the  motor  to  short  out  or  cause  other  irreversible

damage.

NOTE:  To  preserve  battery  charge,  your Powerchair  may  go  into  sleep  mode

after being idle for a few minutes. To remove from sleep mode, turn the power off

and back on again.
