Safety Information
Adhering to these safety guidelines is crucial for preventing accidents and ensuring safe operation:
- Joystick Control: When switching to electric mode, move the joystick gently in the desired direction. Avoid pushing the joystick to its extreme end immediately. The wheelchair's speed is proportional to how far the joystick is pushed.
- Speed Selection: The maximum speed is determined by the selected speed range. For turns, always select a slower speed setting.
- Power On/Off: To turn on the wheelchair, press the power button for 1 second until a beep sounds and power indicators illuminate. To turn off, press the button for 3 seconds until a beep sounds.
- Seating Safety: Always ensure the power button is switched off before sitting down or getting up from the seat.
- Folding: Before folding the electric wheelchair, switch it to manual mode to ensure the controller is off, conserving battery power.
- Braking System: The electromagnetic braking system engages automatically when the joystick is released, bringing the wheelchair to an immediate stop.
- Anti-Tip Wheels: The wheelchair is equipped with built-in anti-tip wheels for enhanced stability.
- Reversing Horn: A horn sounds automatically when reversing to alert others.
- Seatbelt: Always use the secure seatbelt provided for additional safety.

Maintenance
Battery Care
- Regular Charging: If the wheelchair is not used frequently, charge the batteries at least twice a month to maintain their health and extend their lifespan.
- Charging Methods: Batteries can be charged directly via the controller or separately when removed from the wheelchair.
- Battery Swapping: The wheelchair operates primarily from the left battery. If the left battery is depleted, swap it with the fully charged spare battery located in the right battery box to continue operation.

Troubleshooting
- Wheelchair Not Turning On: Ensure the batteries are charged and properly inserted. Press the power button for 1 second.
- Loss of Power During Operation: Check the battery indicator on the control panel. If the left working battery is depleted, swap it with the fully charged spare battery from the right battery box.
- Unexpected Stops: This may indicate the electromagnetic brake engaging. Ensure the joystick is not released abruptly unless intending to stop.
- Difficulty Moving: Check if the wheelchair is in manual mode. If so, switch to electric mode by engaging the brake lever.
