General User Warnings for Power Chair Users

Most of the following are common sense - but here is a reminder!


  • Do not lean over to pick up objects, causing you to shift your weight in the sea - this can cause tipping.
  • Do NOT use an escalator
  • Only Class 3 vehicles should be used on the road, unless no pavement is available
  • NO DRIVING ON ICY INCLINES!
  • AVOID kerbs, unless the model you have has a kerb climber and the manufacturer's specification gives a kerb usable height.
  • DO NOT make sharp turns at high speeds.
  • NO PASSENGERS - you will not be insured.
  • DO NOT fit parts, accessories or adapt the vehicle from the manufacturer's CE approved specification.
  • REMOVE ignition key when leaving the vehicle, thus turning the power off and immobilising the chair. DO NOT leave the key in the ignition - a child or inexperienced person may atempt to steal or use the product and this may result in damage.
  • DO NOT CONNECT any medical device, such as a ventilator, to the machine's electrical system.
  • Always operate the wheelchair from a seated postiion unles there is dual or attendant control fitted.
