5) Driving:
Operate the vehicle only as fast as safety considerations will allow, taking into
consideration the traffic, doors and needs of the patient. Running into other traffic or
doors may cause injury or damage to property
Do not make sharp, abrupt turns at high speeds or while going down an incline. The
operator’s ability to control the machine is reduced in these situations and may
cause injury or damage to property.
Do not operate on inclines with loose material on the surface. Always take operating
conditions, such as wet or slippery floors, into consideration. Do not push more than
the individual trained operator can safely control given those conditions.
Do not drive over objects or irregular surfaces more than 1/2 inch high.
When driving over bumps, dips or inclines, approach them at a 90 degree angle.
Operate indoors only.
Don’t expose the WheelChair Mover to excessive moisture, such as using it in the
rain or spraying it with a hose.
To insure sufficient traction, avoid inclines or ramps having a rise of more than 1
inch (2.5 cm) per one foot (30.5 cm) (federal standard for wheelchair ramps)
Do not drive at full speed into any fixed obstacles or objects as this may result in
personal injury or structural damage.
Do not operate the WheelChair Mover in any position except standing or walking
with the handlebars and throttle directly in front of you.
Do not bend over the machine or controls while the Wheelchair Mover is turned “on”.
Damage or injury may occur.
Only one person may operate the WheelChair Mover controls at any one time.
Do not leave the WheelChair Mover unattended with a patient in the attached
wheelchair.
A trained operator must use one hand on each handlebar while operating the
WheelChair Mover.
No one is allowed on the machine at any time. NO PASSENGERS! No stepping or
standing on any part of the machine.
Do not park on inclines.
6) Operation of Hitch:
Verify that the hitch jaws are fully engaged on every wheelchair, every time.
Do not connect to powered wheelchairs or any item except correctly sized manual
wheelchairs.
A trained operator must stop at any time fluids are spilled on the machine and clean
the machine and wheelchair before beginning or continuing transport.
The transport of a patient must be stopped anytime fluids are spilled.
Follow facility procedures for fluid spills. Report spills as required.
Disconnect the wheelchair from the WheelChair Mover and park the WheelChair
Mover in an appropriate position and turn off. Continue the transport of the patient.

Return later and fully clean the machine or clean at least enough to transport the
machine to a location to be cleaned.
DO not disconnect from the wheelchair while moving.
Verify cleaning of the machine and safe operation of the WheelChair Mover before
resuming patient transport operations.
After impact with the Wheelchair Mover, wheelchair or patient, a qualified individual
must inspect the Wheelchair Mover before being used to transport patients.
Follow facility procedures for patient injury of equipment damage.
7) Maintenance:
Do not lay metal objects (wrenches, screwdrivers, etc.) on any of the batteries to
prevent electrical short circuits.
Batteries are heavy. Always use care and proper lifting technique to avoid injury
when removing or replacing batteries. Maintenance or battery changing may only be
performed by qualified maintenance personnel.
Hydrogen gas is formed when charging the batteries. Use adequate ventilation
when charging batteries. Never smoke near batteries. Do not charge batteries in an
area with open flame or around electrical equipment that could cause an electrical
arc.
The electrolyte in a storage battery is an acid, which can cause severe burns to the
skin and eyes. The batteries used in the WheelChair Mover are sealed and need no
attention over their life span. Should battery damage occur, wear appropriate
protective clothing when working with the batteries. Treat all electrolyte spills with
an extended flushing with clear water. Contact a physician immediately if contact is
made with battery acid.

Unpacking & Setup of the WheelChair Mover
1) The WheelChair Mover is shipped on a wooden pallet. Examine the machine for
any signs of damage caused by shipping. If the machine is damaged, report your
finding to the shipping company before proceeding.
2) Remove the straps that hold the machine onto the pallet base.
3) Using a claw hammer, pry loose the wooden restraint blocks nailed to the pallet.
These blocks are located on all four sides of the machine. Immediately dispose of
these blocks.
4) Make a ramp with a piece of plywood so the machine can be pulled backward off the
pallet. Note: The WheelChair Mover has minimal clearance from the bottom of the
machine to the floor. When removing the WheelChair Mover from the pallet, avoid
dragging it over the edge so as not to scrape and damage the base of the machine.
5) The machine may be driven off the pallet or moved manually. If moving the machine
without power, make sure the gearbox release lever, located on front right side of
the machine, is in the "forward" position. This will allow the machine to be moved
manually without motor power. Return the gearbox release lever to the “rear” after
moving the machine.
6) Once the machine is on the floor, remove the pallet to a safe place for storage or
disposal.
7) Verify that the anti-static wire is still attached to the bottom of the WheelChair Mover
and will be in contact with the floor during operation. See diagram WheelChair
Mover –Left Side View (page 14).

www.danetechnologies.com 970-068 6/19/17 Rev F
Orientation to the WheelChair Mover
1) The controls include the following which are shown on the next pages:
Forward/reverse throttle control levers
“O/I” on/off switch
Horn button
Back-Away button
Rabbit/turtle switch
Controller status indicator
Battery level indicator
Hitch handle
Latch release
Hitch foot pedal
Power Controls and Emergency Off (Service Maintenance Key)
2) The WheelChair Mover should be parked on a level surface and turned off using the
“O/I” switch when not in use.
3) The WheelChair Mover is turned by exerting light pressure to move the handlebars,
to the left or right, similar to steering a bicycle.
4) Acceleration and braking of the WheelChair Mover are controlled by the throttle
control located on both sides of the handle bar. WheelChair Mover speed is
controlled by pushing the throttle control, i.e. push slightly to move slowly and push
more to move faster. Braking action occurs as pressure is released. Braking force
can be controlled for quick or gradual stops. Releasing the control slowly brings the
WheelChair Mover to a gradual stop. Releasing the throttle control quickly stops the
WheelChair Mover more quickly. Maximum braking force is applied when the throttle
is fully released.
5) Pressing the "HORN" button will sound the horn as long as it is pressed.
6) Manually Moving the WheelChair Mover. To move by hand, disconnect the
wheelchair and any attached devices. Find the gearbox release lever on the front
right hand side on the machine and push the lever forward. See diagram
WheelChair Mover –Right Side View (page 15). The machine can now be moved
using the handlebars. Push the gearbox release lever back in after use.
CAUTION:
The machine has no brakes and cannot be
operated with the gearbox release lever released.
7) The Wheelchair Mover is inhibited from moving when the charging cord is plugged
into the wall receptacle. Disconnect cord before turning on the machine for use.
