performs to specications.
Operator Safety
There are many inherent dangers while operating a power wheelchair. Read carefully and observe all
of the precautions below.
DANGER
Cell phones are a vital necessity for your safety, and should be used in case of an
emergency to call for help and to notify loved ones. However, warnings about driving
while talking on cell phones also apply to power wheelchair operation. In addition to
the distraction safety issue, you also have possible electromagnetic interference
(EMI) that can disrupt the control system (see the EMI section for more information).
Do not use a cell phone, walkie/talkie, laptop, or other radio transmitter while
operating your wheelchair.
Lap belts are very important in a wheelchair. Never operate your wheelchair without rst fastening
the lap belt.
5
DO NOT sit on the power wheelchair when riding in a vehicle: instead, transfer to a vehicle seat.
DO NOT transfer onto or from the wheelchair unless the brakes are engaged and the
controls are powered o.
DO NOT ride on streets, roads, or highways except for crossing walkways.
DO NOT attempt to move an occupied power wheelchair between oors using a stairway or
escalator. Use an Elevator to move an occupied power wheelchair between oors.
WARNING:
DO NOT let children play on or operate your power wheelchair.
DO NOT operate the power wheelchair if the unit is in freewheel mode.
DO NOT use the joystick in an erratic manner when traveling up or down an incline.
DO NOT carry passengers or exceed the maximum weight limit.
DO NOT perform weight bearing exercises while in your powered wheelchair. Your powered
wheelchair has NOT been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight training. Attempting
to perform weight bearing exercises may exceed the weight limit of the powered wheelchair will void
the warranty, and may cause serious injury.
DO NOT turn o the joystick controller when the power wheelchair is in motion. This will activate the
electromagnetic brakes and could cause damage to the joystick controller.
DO NOT drive over uneven and soft terrain (soft dirt, loose gravel, deep grass).
DO NOT attempt to mount a curb height greater than 1.5”(40mm).
DO NOT exceed any grade over 6º (10%)
ALWAYS stop fully before changing forward or reverse direction.
ALWAYS brake in an emergency by releasing the joystick.
ALWAYS use slow speed when going down gradients (move the joystick slowly toward center
position to reduce the speed).
ALWAYS reduce your speed before turning sharply.
ALWAYS try to use a “dropped curb” or “curb cutout” whenever possible.
ALWAYS approach and climb over curbs at slow speed.
ALWAYS approach curbs and gradients at 90 degrees.
ALWAYS keep both feet on the footplate while driving.
ALWAYS make sure the batteries are fully charged before operating the power wheelchair.
ALWAYS charge the power wheelchair in a well-ventilated area.
ALWAYS power o the power wheelchair before performing non-weight bearing exercises. Failure to
do so could result in injury.
6
ALWAYS check that the drive wheels are engaged and not in freewheel mode.
ALWAYS keep your power wheelchair maintained properly.
ALWAYS place the seatback in an upright position whenever negotiating an incline.
CAUTION:
NEVER try to use your power wheelchair beyond its limitations as described in
this manual.
NEVER operate the power wheelchair in the rain: the electronics are not waterproof
and you could lose traction on slippery surfaces.
Tips
• Power wheelchairs can be very quiet--make sure others are aware of your presence.
• Announce yourself at closed doors or blind corners to prevent a collision.
• Avoid tipping - DO NOT place heavy loads on the back of your power wheelchair.
• Avoid reaching out from the power wheelchair to pick up low objects.
• DO NOT lift the power wheelchair by its armrests.
• Keep loose items or lap covers away from the wheels.
• Wear brightly colored clothes when you are outdoors.
• Use optional headlights, reector tape, and/or ashing taillights at night.
Transportation Safety
Before transporting the power wheelchair, switch o the joystick controller and lock the brake. A
power wheelchair must be tightly secured to the oor of a transportation vehicle before departing.
Use the securement points (if available) at the front and at the back of the wheelchair as well as the
anchoring points in the transportation vehicle. A trained and experienced driver must be present to
perform the lifting and anchoring of the wheelchair and ensure owner and wheelchair safety.
DANGER
There are dangers present while using public or private transportation vehicles.
Securement points are provided for unoccupied transport only, if available.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
CAUTION
It is very important that you thoroughly read this information regarding the possible
eects of EMI on your power wheelchair.
7
Tests by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have determined that EMI can, under certain
conditions, cause power wheelchairs and scooters to move unintentionally and/or erratically, or
cause unintended release of the brakes. Stronger EMI sources can also permanently damage the
power wheelchair’s control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in
volts per meter (V/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity, or “immunity
level.” The higher the immunity level is, the greater the protection against EMI. At this time, current
technology is capable of achieving at least a 20V/m immunity level, which would provide useful
protection from the more common sources of radiated EMI.
WARNING
Although your power wheelchair has been tested to the current standard of 20V/m,
care should be taken to avoid electromagnetic sources.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classied into three types:
Hand-held portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers) with the antenna mounted directly on the
transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios; “walkie talkies;” security, re, and
police transceivers; cellular telephones; and other personal communication devices.
CAUTION
Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even
when not being used.
Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, re trucks, ambulances, and
taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle.
Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV
broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.
Note: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, mobile devices, laptop computers, AM/FM radios,
TV sets, CD players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, are currently
unlikely to cause problems to your power wheelchair.
EMI radiations from hand-held radio sources (transceivers) are of special concern because they
can be brought close to the power wheelchair’s control system. As the transceiver nears the control
system, EMI energy rapidly becomes more intense. This can be unintentional if someone is not
aware of the hazard. Please observe the warnings listed below to prevent possible interference with
the control system of the power wheelchair.
Note: Adding accessories and components or modifying the unit may change the susceptibility to EMI.
WARNING
DO NOT operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters and receivers), such as CB
radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while
the power wheelchair is turned ON.
Report all incidents of unintended movement or braking on your power wheelchair to a Shoprider®
provider, and note whether there were sources of EMI nearby.
