WEIGHT CAPACITY

This power wheelchair has a maximum weight capacity that should never be

exceeded. Please refer to Section XII SPECIFICATIONS for this information. The

maximum weight capacity includes the user and any accessories.

WARNING –Exceeding the maximum weight capacity will void your

warranty. Drive Medical will not be held responsible for injuries and/or

damages resulting from failure to observe weight capacities.

WARNING –Do not carry passengers on your power wheelchair. Your

power wheelchair is designed and tested for one user to operate while

seated with the safety belt fastened.

INCLINE GUIDELINES

Use caution when approaching inclines or declines; if necessary lower the speed

before travelling on a slope.

When travelling up an incline try to keep the power wheelchair moving forward. If you

must come to a stop, use caution and slowly accelerate the power wheelchair

forward.

When travelling down an incline lower the speed on your power wheelchair to the

slowest setting, and proceed cautiously. If the power wheelchair is travelling down the

incline faster than you expected, release the joystick to come to a stop, then slightly

push the joystick forward to continue safely down the incline.

WARNING –Never put the power wheelchair in freewheel model while on

an incline.

WARNING –Drive your power wheelchair straight up or down an incline,

never backwards. Erratic movements, or back and forth patterns may

increase the chance of tipping.

III. SAFETY GUIDELINES

REV.1.09.08.14

Trident HD Owner’s Manual www.drivemedical.com

WARNING –Do not travel up an incline with the seat completely reclined

without an attendant. Inclines vary, and doing so may decrease stability.

WARNING –Do not, under any circumstances, travel on a slope greater

than the maximum climbing angle for this power wheelchair. Please refer

to Section XII SPECIFICATIONS for this information. Exceeding the climbing

angle may cause unstable conditions.

FREEWHEEL GUIDELINES

Your power wheelchair is equipped with manual freewheel levers to maneuver the

unit without power. The manual freewheel levers can be engaged or disengaged.

Disengaged, or “freewheel” mode, releases the locking mechanism on the gearbox

allowing the power wheelchair to roll freely with or without power.

Engaged, or “drive” mode, secures the locking mechanism on the gearbox preventing

the power wheelchair from rolling freely.

WARNING –Never attempt to personally put your power wheelchair in

freewheel mode while seated in the unit.

WARNING –Never put the power wheelchair in freewheel mode while on

an incline. This may cause uncontrollable movements.

ATTENTION –When your power wheelchair is in freewheel mode you may

feel resistance when maneuvering; this is normal, and prevents damage

to the gearbox.

ATTENTION –Please refer to Section V PARTS to locate the freewheel

levers on your power wheelchair.

SUGGESTION –If you hear a “clicking” noise when moving the joystick,

but the power wheelchair will not move –turn off the power, engage the

freewheel levers, and power back on to continue.

BRAKES & STOPPING

Coming to a stop in your power wheelchair can simply be done by releasing the

joystick. The joystick will automatically return to the center position, and the power

wheelchair will come to a stop.

ATTENTION –Quickly moving the joystick in the opposite direction of

travel will cause the power wheelchair to come to an abrupt stop, and if

held continuously in the opposite direction may cause erratic movements

if you are unfamiliar with the controls.

Your power wheelchair is equipped with two types of brake systems:

Regenerative brakes –when the joystick is returned to the center position, or

stop neutral position, regenerative brakes use electricity to quickly decelerate

the vehicle.

Park brakes –once the power wheelchair comes to a complete stop the park

brake activates automatically locking the drive wheels.

OUTDOOR OPERATION & INCLEMENT WEATHER PRECAUTIONS

While your power wheelchair is purposed for in-home use to assist you in daily living

activities; Drive Medical understands there are times you need to operate the power

wheelchair outdoors, and has designed it to perform superbly on level outdoor

surfaces.

ATTENTION –When operating outdoors avoid uneven terrain, soft

surfaces, tall grass, loose gravel, loose sand, fresh water, salt water, edges

of streams, lakes or oceans. If you are unsure about a surface, avoid it.

Exposure to inclement weather should always be avoided. If you find yourself caught

in inclement weather while operating your power wheelchair, proceed to the closest

shelter immediately. Completely dry your power wheelchair before operating,

charging, or storing.

STEPS, CURBS & FIXED OBSTACLES

Use extreme caution when operating your power wheelchair near curbs, porches,

stairs, escalators, drop-offs, unprotected ledges, and raised areas.

WARNING –Never attempt to navigate your power wheelchair over a

fixed obstacle taller than the maximum ground clearance. Please refer to

Section XII SPECIFICATIONS for this information.

WARNING –Never attempt to navigate your power wheelchair backwards

over an obstacle.

WARNING –Never attempt to operate your power wheelchair on steps or

escalators.

ATTENTION –Refer to the following guidelines and diagrams when

travelling over a fixed obstacle lower than the maximum ground

clearance of your power wheelchair:

To maneuver up a fixed obstacle –Approach slowly, and make sure the front of the

power wheelchair is perpendicular to the obstacle. Increase the forward speed until

the power wheelchair has cleared the obstacle, and then you may reduce the speed or

return the joystick to neutral.

To maneuver down a fixed obstacle –Approach slowly, and make sure the front of the

power wheelchair is perpendicular to the obstacle. Reduce the forward speed just

before the front wheels come in contact with the obstacle, and remain at the reduced

speed until power wheelchair has cleared the obstacle, and then you may increase the

forward speed.
