■ Do not use your power chair under the circumstances below.
◆
On roads with heavy traffic or roads that are muddy, gravelly, bumpy, narrow, snowed over, ice, or
canal towpaths not guarded by any fence or hedge. Keep away from places where you might get the
wheels stuck.
◆
Do not drive at night or when it is raining, snowing, misty, or windy.
◆
Do not drive your power chair in an “S” pattern or make erratic turnings.
◆
Do not take the power chair onto escalators.

■ About Mobile Phones and other electrical equipment
◆
Do not use a mobile phone or other wireless communication devices while driving.
◆
Always switch off the power chair and remove the ignition key before using a mobile phone.
◆
Do not charge the mobile phone or any other electrical devices from your battery of power chair.
■ Automatic Power Shut Down
In order to avoid accidental battery run down, your power chair is equipped with an automatic power
shut down facility. If the power chair is switched on, after remaining undisturbed for a period of thirty
minutes it will automatically turn off. When this situation occurs, simply switch your power chair off
and back on and it will be ready to use once again.
■ Ramps, inclines and drops
◆
Do not drive onto steep ramps greater than the specified gradient. Refer to the section entitled
“CLIMBING ANGLE” in “8. SPECIFICATION“
◆
Always use a low speed setting when ascending or descending a gradient.
◆
Do not drive on roads with large drops or potholes. Refer to the section entitled “MAX. GROUND
CLEARANCE” in “ 8. SPECIFICATION”.
◆
Please slow down when driving on roads with inclines.
◆
Do not make sudden turns when driving on gravel roads or ramps.
◆
Always lean forward when climbing a steep gradient.
■ Starting and Driving
1. Make sure the seat is installed properly.
2. Fold down the armrests so you can rest your arms on them.
3. Check battery indicator to see whether there is enough power for your journey. If you have any doubt
about the remaining power, please recharge the batteries before departure.

Do not set in the freewheel mode when driving on a gradient.
◆
Always re-engage the anti-freewheel device before use. Fail to do so may result in injury.
◆
To protect your safety, the power will automatically cut off and electromagnetic brake system
will
activate while driving down a steep gradient. This will limit the speed to a safe level.

result in injury.
2. Do not turn the power switch to OFF while driving as this will lead to an emergency stop and possible
risk of accident and injury.
3. Do not set to the highest speeds while driving indoors.
4. Do not adjust the speed dial while driving, a sudden change in speed may cause danger to you and
others, and may cause damage to your power chair .

◆
This will limit the power chair to a maximum speed of 4mph. It is an offence to travel at more than
4mph on the pavement.
◆
The limit switch can be set to the fastest setting for use on the road or on the private ground.
Attention: When climbing an incline do not z
igzag or drive at an angle up the face of the of the
incline.
Always drive your power chair straight up the incline.
This greatly reduces the possibility
of a tip or a fall. Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
Never travel up or down an incline that can be potentially hazardous (for example, areas
covered with snow ice , or cut grass).
■■■■ Inclines and uneven terrain
When climbing an incline, try to keep your power chair moving. If you must stop, start up again slowly,
and then accelerate cautiously . When driving down an incline ,do so slowly and in the forward direction
only. If your power chair starts to move faster than you anticipated or desired it would, allow the chair to
come to a complete stop by releasing the joystick. Push the joystick slightly forward and continue
traveling slowly down the incline.
■ Maximum recommended incline
Our has performed extensive incline testing the power chair. Our results show that the maximum incline
your Mambo can safety climb is five degrees at maximum weight capacity. Five degrees is the angle of
most handicap access ramps. Any attempt to climb a steppers slop may put your power chair in an unstable
position.

This portion of the content will provide the user with basic information that describes the problems with
EMI, known sources of EMI, protective measures either to lessen the possibility or exposure or to
minimize the degree of exposure, and suggested action should unexpected or erratic movement occur.
Attention:
It is very important that you read this information regarding the possible effects of
electromagnetic interference on your Mambo power chair.
■ ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMI) FROM RADIO WAVE
SOURCES
Powered power chair may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is interfering
electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio
(HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources)
can cause the powered power chair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended
directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair’s control system. The intensity of
the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered power chair can
resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its “immunity level”. The higher the immunity level,
the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m
immunity level, which would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI.
This powered power chair model as shipped, with no further modification, has an immunity level of 20
V/m without any accessories.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday environment.
Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is
unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warning listed below, your risk to EMI will be
minimized.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1. Hand-held portable transceivers ( transmitter-receivers with the antenna mounted directly on the
transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, “ talkie talkie”, security, fire, and
police transceivers, cellular telephones and other personal communication devices.
Attention: Some cellular telep
hones and similar transmit signal while they are ON, even when not
being used.
2. Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances and
taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the power chair .
3. Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitter (radio and TV
broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
