Always ensure that the power is switched off when getting in or out of the wheelchair. This will eliminate the possibility of accidentally activating the joystick and causing injury to yourself or others. 2. Always check that the drive wheels are engaged (drive mode) before driving. 3. Set the speed control knob according to your driving ability and the environment in which you are going to operate. We recommend that you keep the speed at the slowest position (fully counter-clockwise) until you are familiar with the driving characteristics of this vehicle. We also recommend that you use the slowest speed when using your power wheelchair indoors. 4. Always reduce your speed when making sharp turns. 5. Do not switch off the power when the wheelchair is still moving forward. This will bring the chair to an extremely abrupt stop. 6. Avoid jerky stop/start motions as this will result in excessive current draw from the batteries, increased tire wear and the rapid wearing of the gearboxes and motors. 7. To brake in an emergency, simply release the joystick. Ramps and Curbs 8. When driving up or down ramps, be sure to check that the angle of the slope is less than 12 degrees (slopes about 1/5). Also check that ramp surface is roughened to prevent slipping, and that ramp surface is correctly in line with the tires and is wide enough to allow the tires to pass freely along the ramp. 9. Always climb or descend gradients perpendicular to the slope. Never drive across the slope or turn sharply on a slope. Check that the slope surface is roughened to prevent slipping. Do not attempt to climb or descend slope greater than 12 degrees (slopes about 1/5). 10. When driving up curbs, always check the height of the curb to ensure that it does not exceed 1-1/2” in height. Traverse up or down curbs perpendicular to the curb. Transfers, Reaching and Bending 11. Transferring on and off the HP-1 requires a good sense of balance. Have an attendant present at all times until you learn to safely transfer yourself. To eliminate the possibility of injury, Summit recommends performing the following tasks before attempting a transfer: Pa...
