• Please be aware that the lift/tilt modules present a trap
hazard. Make sure that during operation the lift/tilt
modules are free from all clothing, hands, feet and other
extremities, to prevent injury.
• Do not drive on ramps or slopes with the seating in the
elevated position. Before attempting to climb or descend
a slope, return the wheelchair to a standard seated drive
position, with the backrest upright.
• This power system is designed to automatically reduce
the maximum driving speed to a creep and/or C-Me mode
when certain power seating limits are reached. Depending
on the configuration of the chair there might be multiple
creep and/or C-Me speeds.
• Before operating your chair in creep and/or C-Me mode,
read all warnings and guidelines related to this feature.
They will help in understanding how to reduce the risk
of a fall or tip-over and how to identify environmental
conditions that could affect your safety when driving while
the chair is in creep and/or C-Me speed.
1. When driving indoors or outdoors, in creep mode,
it should only be used on flat, level, and hardscape
surfaces.
2. Driving in creep mode should never be attempted on
uneven terrain like gravel, grass, bumpy surfaces, uneven
pavement, or hills.
3. NEVER raise the seat when the chair is being operated in
the proximity of any of the terrain types listed above, or
on any uneven surface.
