For this reason, your power chair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to use your power chair safely on lawns and in park areas. • Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces. • Avoid tall grass that can entangle the running gear. • Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand. • Do not use your power chair in fresh or salt water. • Do not use your power chair at the edge of a stream, lake, or ocean. • If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface. Inclement Weather Precautions Exposure of your power chair to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever possible. If suddenly caught up in rain, snow, severe cold or heat while operating your power chair, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your power chair before storing, charging, or operating your power chair. PROHIBITED! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist/spray conditions, and on icy/slippery surfacescan have an adverse effect on the electrical system. Maintain and store your power chair in adry and clean condition. WARNING! Prolonged exposure to hot or cold conditions may affect the temperature ofupholstered and non-upholstered items on the power chair, possibly resulting in skin irritation. Exercise caution when using the power chair in extremely hot or cold conditions or whenexposing your power chair to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time. Stationary Obstacles (Steps, Curbs, etc.) Proceed with extreme caution when driving near raised surfaces, unprotected ledges and/or drop-offs (curbs, porches, stairs, etc.). Be sure your power chair is traveling perpendicular to any curb you may be required to navigate. To navigate up over a curb or stationary obstacle: 1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the power chair is traveling perpendicular to the obstacle. See figure 2. 2. Increase the forward spped just before the front wheels come in contact with the obstacle. 3. Reduce the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared the obstacle. To navigate down a curb or stationary object: 1. Approach the curb or obstacle slowly, and make sure the power chair is travleing perpendicular to the obstacle. See figure 2. 2. Reduce the forward speed just before the front wheels come in contact with the obstacle. 3. Increase the forward speed only after the rear wheels have cleared the obstacle and you are once again on a level surface. WARNING! Even though your power chair may be capable of handling greater obstacles, Priderecommends that you do not attempt to negotiate a curb that is higher than 2 in. (5 cm). Doingso could cause instability in your power chair. WARNING! Do not attempt to have your power chair proceed backward down any step, curb, orother obstacle. This may cause the power chair to tip. Quantum 6000Z Series II. SAFETY II. SAFETY Figure 2. Correct Curb Approach Figure 3. Incorrect Curb Approach Stairs and Escalators Power chairs are not designed to travel up or down stairs or escalators. Always use an elevator. WARNING! Never use your power chair to negotiate steps or escalators. Doors • Determine if the door opens toward or away from you. • Drive your power chair gently and slowly forward to push the door open. Or drive your power chair gently and slowly backward to pull the door open. Elevators Modern elevators have a door edge safety mechanism that, when pushed, reopens the elevator door(s). • If you are in the doorway of an elevator when the door(s) begin to close, push on the rubber door edge or allow the rubber door edge to contact the power chair and the door will reopen. • Use care that pocketbooks, packages, or power chair accessories do not become caught in elevator doors. Lift Systems/Elevation Products If you will be transporting your power chair during travel, you may find it necessary to use a vehicle-mounted lift system or elevation product to aid in transportation. Pride recommends that you closely review the warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety information set forth by the manufacturer of the lift/elevation product before using that product. WARNING! Not all lift systems/elevation products are rated for use with an occupied mobilitydevice. Pride recommends that you do not remain seated in your power chair when it is beingused in connection with any type of lift system/elevation product unless: • That product is rated for occupied use by the manufacturer. • You are able to occupy your mobility device in strict conformity with the warnings, instructions, specifications, and safety guidelines set forth by the manufacturer. WARNING! Always turn off the power to the controller when you are being transferred via anelevation product. Failure to do so may result in accidental joystick contact, resulting inunintended movement and personal injury or product damage.
