WARNINGS
TIPPING HAZARD
Any transport on a slope greater than the maximum
security slope can be dangerous.
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION DANGER
The behavior of the wheelchair while deriving
may be affected by electromagnetic fields
created by transceivers such as: Citizens band
(CB) radios, walkie-talkies, fire and police
radios, cellular phones, lap-top computers,
two-way radios, and commercial radio and
television broadcast antennas.
PLEASE USE CAUTION in the presence of these
devices.
EMI can cause your chair, without warning, to:
• Release its brakes
• Move by itself
• Move in unintended directions
If any of these occur, it could result in severe injury to you or
others. EMI can damage the control system of your chair.
There is no way to know the effect on EMI if you add accessories or
modify this chair. Any change to your
chair may increase the risk of EMI. Parts from other suppliers have
unknown EMI properties.

TEMPERATURE
The temperature of some surfaces may increase
when the chair is exposed to external heat sources as
sunlight.
Do not install, maintain or operate your wheelchair without reading
all warnings and this entire user’s manual.
NOTICE TO RIDER—WARNING
The wheelchair should be turned off prior to entering or exiting the
wheelchair
The wheelchair may come to a sudden stop at any time during operation.
Do not operate the wheelchair if it is behaving abnormally or erratically.
Do not operate the wheelchair with low batteries, to minimize risk of
becoming stranded.
The wheelchair is not intended to be used as a seat on motor vehicles.
PINCH HAZARDS –WARNING
Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the space between
the footrests. In general, make sure you have proper space in areas you
will travel through to minimize pinching or entrapment of body parts.
WARNING
Do not use an escalator move the wheelchair between floors. Serious
bodily injury may occur
Do not lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from
behind as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
Do not shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are

Always use caution when transferring in or out of the wheelchair. Every
precaution should be taken to reduce the transfer distance. Also be
certain the wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving
Caution—Obstacles
Riding over curbs or obstacles can cause tipping and serious bodily harm.
If you have any doubt that you can safely cross any curb or obstacle,
ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP. Be aware of your riding skills and personal
limitations. Develop new driving skills only with the help of a companion.
Caution—Anti-Tippers
Using anti-tippers substantially reduces your risk of falling over
backwards, which can cause serious injury. If you are afraid of tipping
over, use the Anti-Tippers. The Anti-Tippers will keep you from falling
over, but they will limit your ability to be pulled up curbs and some other
maneuvers. WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE ANTI-
TIPPERS WHILE YOU ARE LEARNING TO RIDE YOUR WHEELCHAIR.
The wheelchair is not designed for weight training and is unsafe for use as
a seat while weight training. Weight training from the wheelchair
substantially changes the stability of the chair and cause tipping.

It is recommend to charge the batteries when the indicators 1 in
Figure 3 are red. Each battery is subject to a normal “self
discharge”, so batteries that are not used for long time will
discharge by themselves.
Charging time is influenced by multiple factors such as remaining
battery power, battery state of aging and temperature. However the
approximate charging time is about 7-9 hours. If the charge
duration was reduced (about 1 hour), that is a sign of failure.
Contact the vendor for a possible replacement of batteries.
Don’t use the wheelchair while it is charging.
SHOCK HAZARD
Check if charger data sheet matches with the
network power (voltage, frequency).
RELEASE DANGER
Any impact to the batteries could cause a loss of
fluids. Pay attention
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD
It is recommended to properly recycle used
batteries. Contact your local agency for waste
disposal for more information.
