2.2 Whilst Driving
Carry out daily inspections. Refer to the section on Daily Checking.
Do not move your body out of the powerchair while moving
• Such action may cause you to lose your balance and risk injury and/or damage from falling.
• Pay attention that your clothing and other garments do not get tangled or caught in the
wheels.
Do not use your powerchair in the following environments:
• On surfaces that are muddy, gravely, bumpy, too narrow, snowed over or icy.
• Places where you may get the wheels stuck.
• On canal towpaths which are not guarded by any fence or hedge.
• Do not drive at night or if it is raining heavily, snowing, or windy.
• Do not drive your powerchair in an ‘S’ pattern or make erratic turnings.
• Do not take the powerchair onto escalators

About mobile phones and other electrical equipment
• Do not use a mobile phone or other wireless communication equipment whilst driving or
whilst the powerchair is switched on.
• Always switch off the powerchair before using a mobile phone.
• Do not charge the mobile phone or any other electrical devices from the powerchair battery.
Automatic power shutdown
• In order to avoid accidental battery run down, your powerchair is equipped with an
automatic power shut down. If the powerchair is switched and left idle for 30 minutes, it will
shut down to preserve battery power. If this occurs, simply switch your powerchair off and
back on and it will be ready to use once again.

injury.

recommended as it may cause damage and/or injury.
