Introduction
This is a manual for the “JWX-2” electric power assist unit for wheelchairs. Before you read this
manual, check which product you are using.
This product consists of the left and right drive units, battery and the battery charger. The drive units
are already installed to the wheelchair frame. For the initial use, the customer does not have to use
tools, and so on, to assemble the wheelchair. Refer to “2. Names of Parts” to ensure that these
components are installed to the wheelchair that you purchased and that the battery and charger are
included. If you visually notice that any of these components are not installed, are not included, or are
damaged before using the wheelchair, immediately contact the dealer without using the wheelchair.

1.1. Foreword
Thank you for purchasing the JWX-2.
Generally speaking, riding in a wheelchair incurs the possible risk of personal injury or damage to the
wheelchair from improper use. Depending on the type or extent of the disabilities of the user, it might
be dangerous to travel unaccompanied.
Before using the wheelchair, be sure that not only the user, but also the assistant and controller, has
read this manual to assure full understanding.
(1) The wheelchairs on which the JWX-2 has been installed are wheelchairs for physically
handicapped people, and their legal status is that of a pedestrian. Make sure to adhere to the
traffic rules and manners of a pedestrian.
(2) The JWX-2 withstands a load of 130 kg. Use with a total maximum load including the chairframe
weight of 130 kg. If the frame on which the JWX-2 is installed has an even lighter load capacity,
ensure that you do not exceed that value.
(3) To ensure safe use, warning labels are affixed to this product. Make sure to adhere to the warning
labels. Refer to “1.6. Warning Label Location Diagram” for the locations of the warning labels.
