SAFETY INSTRUCTION

Operation of Chair

1. Always ensure that the power is switched off when getting in or out of the power

wheelchair. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the

joystick and causing injury to yourself or others.

2.Always check that the drive wheels are engaged (drive mode) before driving.

3.Set the speed control knob according to your driving ability and the environment in

which you are going to operate. We recommend that you keep your speed at the

slowest position (fully press the deceleration button) until you are familiar with the

driving characteristics of the vehicle. We also recommend that you use the slowest

speed when using your power wheelchair indoors.

4.Always reduce your speed when making sharp turns.

5.Do not switch off the power when the wheelchair is still moving forward. This will

bring the chair to an extremely abrupt stop.

6.Avoid jerky stop/start motions as it will result in excessive current draw from the

batteries, increased tire wear and the rapid wearing of the gearboxes and motors.

7.To brake in an emergency, simply release the joystick.

Ramps and Curbs

8. When driving up or down ramps, be sure to check that the angle of the slope is

less than 10 degrees (slopes about 1/6).Also check that ramp surface is roughened

to prevent slipping. Never drive across a slope or turn sharply on a slope.

9. When driving up curbs, always check the height of the curb to ensure that it does

not exceed 1-1/2”(40mm) height.

Transfers, Reaching and Bending

10. Transferring on and off the unit requires a good sense of balance. To eliminate the

possibility of injury, we recommend performing the following tasks before

attempting a transfer:

→Position chair so that the distance between your power chair and the object to

which you are transferring is close enough for a safe transfer.

→Turn the power off

→Ensure that your power chair not in freewheel mode.

→Flip up or remove armrests

→Flip up footplate or remove footrests

→Turn both caster wheels towards the transfer direction to improve power chair

stability during transfer.

11. When reaching, bending or leaning while seated on your power chair, make sure

that you maintain a stable center of gravity to keep the power chair from tipping.

General

12. Always use a seat belt, and keep feet on the footplateatalltimes.

13. For safety reason, make sure that your weight does not exceed the recommended

weight limit of the wheelchair. Consult your dealer for the specified weight limits

for your particular model.

14. Do not attempt to lift or move a power chair by any of its removable parts.

Personal injury and damage to the power chair may result.

15. Do not stand on the footplate directly.

16. Never try to use your wheelchair beyond its limitations as described in this

manual.

17. Do not operate your vehicle if it is not functioning properly.

18. Do not connect any electrical or mechanical device to the vehicle. Failure to obey

this instruction may result in injury and will void the warranty.

19. Never use electronic radio transmitters such as CB, walkie-talkies, portable

computers or cellular phones while using the vehicle without first turning the

vehicle off.

Use While Under The Influence Of Medication OrAlcohol

20. Check with your physician if you are taking any medication that may affect your

ability to operate your power wheelchair safely.

21. Do not operate your vehicle while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this

may impair your ability to operate your power chair in a safe manner.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from Radio Wave Sources

The rapid development of electronics, especially in the area of communications, has

saturated our environment with electromagnetic(EM) radio waves that are emitted by

television, radio and communication signals. These EM wave are invisible and their

strength increases as one approaches the source. All electrical conductors act as

antennas to the EM signals and, to varying degrees, all power wheelchairs and scoot-

ers are susceptible to electromagnetic interference(EMI). The interference could result

in abnormal, unintentional movement and/or erratic control of the vehicle. The United

States Food and drugAdministration (FDA) suggests that the following statement be

incorporated to the user’s manual for all power wheelchairs. Power wheelchairs and

motorized scooters (in this section, both will be referred to as powered wheelchairs)

may as susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering

electromagnetic energy emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations,

amateur radio (HAN) transmitter, two-way radios and cellular phones. The

interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release

its brakes, move by itself or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently

damage the powered wheelchair’s control system. The intensity of the EM energy can

be measured in volts per meter (V/m) each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a

certain intensity. This is called “immunity level”. The higher the immunity level, the

greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of providing at least

20 V/m of immunity level, which would provide useful

protection against common sources of radiated EMI.

Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake

release or powered wheelchair movement that could result in serious injury:

1. Do not turn on hand-held personal communication devices such as citizens

band(CB) radios and cellular phones while the powered wheelchair is turned on.

2. Be aware of nearby transmitters such as radio or TV stations and try to avoid

coming close to them.

3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair off

as soon as it is safe.

4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered wheel-

chair, may make it more susceptible to interference from radio wave sources

(Note: It is difficult to evaluate the effect on the overall immunity of the powered

wheelchair).

5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered

wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a radio wave source nearby.

TURN OFF YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WHEN

EXPERIENCING THE FOLLOWING:

‧ Unintentional motions

‧ Unintended or uncontrollable direction.

‧ Unexpected brake release

The FDA has written to the manufacturers of power wheelchairs asking them to test

new products to be sure they provide a reasonable degree of immunity against EMI.

The FDA requires that a powered wheelchair should have an immunity level at least

20 V/m, which provides a reasonable degree of protection against more common

sources of EMI. The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. Your

powered wheelchair has an immunity level of 20 V/m which should protect against

common sources of EMI.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

Environmental conditions may affect the safety and performance of your power

wheelchair. Water and extreme temperatures are the main elements that can cause

damage and effect performance.

A) Rain, Sleet and Snow

If exposed to water, your power wheelchair is susceptible to damage to electronic

or mechanical components. Water can cause electronic malfunction or promote

premature corrosion of electrical components and frame.

B) Temperature

Some of the parts of the power wheelchair are susceptible to change in tempera-

ture. The controller can only operate in temperature that ranges between 18℉(-8

℃) and 122℉(50℃).

At extreme low temperatures, the batteries may freeze, and your power wheelchair

may not be able to operate. In extreme high temperatures, it may operate at slower

speeds due to a safety feature of the controller that prevents damage to the motors and

other electrical components.
