WARNING
Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by a
qualified technician. The final tuning adjustments of the controller may
affect other activities of the wheelchair. Reprogramming the controller
reduces the stability/controllability of the wheelchair. Other program
settings could cause the wheelchair to tip over resulting in serious injury to
the user and/or damage to the surrounding property. IF ANY
INDIVIDUAL OTHER THAN A QUALIFIED TECHNICIAN PERFORMS
ANY WORK ON THESE UNITS, THE WARRANTY IS VOID.
OPERATING INFORMATION
GENERAL WARNINGS
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the
healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and the
driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver,
bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding property.
After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the
wheelchair performs to the specifications entered during the set-up
procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT perform to specifications, turn the
wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up specifications. Repeat this
procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.
ALWAYS shift your weight in the direction you are turning. DO NOT shift
your weight in the opposite direction of the turn. Shifting your weight in the
opposite direction of the turn may cause the inside drive wheel to lose
traction and the wheelchair to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are
reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending,
reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence
of a qualified health professional BEFORE attempting active use of the
seating system/wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the
