Electromagnetic Interference
Power mobility products may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering
energy emitted from sources such as:
 Cellular phones
 Wireless computer links
 Two-way radios
 Radio stations
 TV stations
 Amateur radio (HAM) transmitters
 Microwave signals
 Medium-range mobile transceivers used by emergency vehicles
This interference can cause the powered mobility product to release its brakes, move by itself, or move
in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the power mobility product’s control system.
Every electronically-powered mobility powerchair has a resistance to EMI –the higher the immunity
level, the greater the resistance to EMI. Your power mobility product has been laboratory tested and is
immune to EMI up to a level of 20 V/M.
Warning!
Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake
release or powered mobility product movement which could result in serious injuries.
1. Do not operate hand-held transceivers-receivers, such as citizens band (CB)
radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while
the mobility product is turned ON.
2. Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid
getting close to them.
3. If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered mobility
product OFF as soon as it is safe.
4. Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the power mobility
product, may make it more susceptible to EMI.
5. Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to Drive DeVilbiss,
and note whether there were sources of EMI nearby.

Titan LTE Owners Handbook (Issued 07/17)
TRANSPORTING YOUR CHAIR
If you will be traveling with your powerchair, you may find it necessary to use a lift/elevation product or
portable ramp to aid in transportation. Drive DeVilbiss suggests you closely review the instructions,
specifications, and safety information included with the lift/elevation product before using that product.
Caution
Never sit on your powerchair when it is being used in connection with any type of
lift/elevation product or portable ramp. Your powerchair was not designed with such use
in mind and any damage or injury incurred from such use is not the responsibility of Drive
DeVilbiss.
It is important that you do not remain seated in your powerchair while traveling in a motor vehicle. The
powerchair should be stowed in the trunk of a car or in the back of a truck or van with batteries
removed and properly secured.
Caution
Do not sit on your powerchair while it is in a moving vehicle.
Caution
Always be sure your powerchair and its batteries are properly secured when it is being
transported. Batteries should be secured in an upright position and protective caps
should be installed on the battery terminals. Batteries should not be transported with any
flammable or combustible items.
POSITIONING BELTS
Your authorized Drive DeVilbiss Provider, therapist(s), and other healthcare professionals are
responsible for determining your requirement for a positioning belt in order to operate your powerchair
safely.
Caution
If you require a positioning belt to safely operate your powerchair, make sure it is
fastened securely in order to reduce the possibility of a fall from your powerchair.
Caution
The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is
your powerchair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle.

Page 14
Titan LTE Owners Handbook (Issued 07/17)
USE ON INCLINES
Many buildings have powerchair-accessible ramps with specified degrees of incline, designed for easy
and safe access. Some ramps may have turning switchbacks (180º turns) that require you to have good
cornering skills on your powerchair. Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a
ramp or other incline. DO NOT use on inclines greater than 6°. Take wide swings with your powerchair’s
front wheels around any tight corners. If you do that, the powerchair’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc,
not cut the corner short, and not bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.
When driving down a ramp, keep the powerchair’s speed adjustment set to the slowest speed setting to
ensure a safely controlled descent. Avoid sudden stops and starts. When climbing an incline, try to keep
your powerchair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly and then accelerate cautiously. When
driving down an incline, set your powerchair to the slowest speed setting and drive in the forward
direction only. If your powerchair starts to move down the incline faster than you anticipated or desired,
allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick, then push the joystick forward slightly to
ensure a safely controlled descent.
Caution
When on any sort of an incline or decline, never place the powerchair in freewheel
mode while seated on it or standing next to it.
Caution
When climbing an incline, do not zigzag or drive at an angle up the face of the incline.
Drive your powerchair straight up the incline. This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or
a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
Caution
You should not travel up or down a potentially hazardous incline (i.e., areas covered
with snow, ice, cut grass, or wet leaves).
Caution
Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the powerchair to tip.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
Excessively high cornering speeds can create the possibility of tipping. Factors which affect the
possibility of tipping include, but are not limited to: cornering speed, steering angle (how sharply you are
turning), uneven road surfaces, inclined road surfaces, riding from an area of low traction to an area of
high traction (such as passing from a grassy area to a paved area –especially at high speed while
turning), and abrupt directional changes. High cornering speeds are not recommended. If you feel that
you may tip over in a corner, reduce your speed and steering angle (i.e., lessen the sharpness of the
turn) to prevent your powerchair from tipping.

Page 15
Titan LTE Owners Handbook (Issued 07/17)
Caution
When cornering sharply, reduce your speed and maintain a stable center of gravity.
This greatly reduces the possibility of a tip or fall.
BATTERY
Please charge the batteries after long distance driving to prolong the battery. If you don’t drive the chair
for a long period of time, then charge the batteries every week. Please use a maintenance/water-free
battery to avoid trouble.
MOTOR
The carbon brush connector & brakes should be serviced regularly (at least once per year).
ELECTRICAL BRAKES
Testing of the electrical brakes should be carried out on a level floor with at least three feet of clearance
space around the powerchair.
Power-on the controller, and push the joystick forward slowly until you hear the electrical brake working.
The power powerchair may start to move. Immediately release the joystick, you must be able to hear
each electrical brake within a few seconds. Repeat the test three times, pushing the joystick backward,
left and right respectively.
TYRES
Check front/rear tyres regularly and replace them when worn out.
Suggestion
Follow these instructions to keep the status of the power powerchair working well and ease
your operation.
