Driving in Confined Spaces
Pay attention to the minimum clearance to fixed objects when you are in drive mode
Failure to maintain the minimum distance may, in certain circumstances, result in damage to the device and cause limbs to become trapped. For this reason, use extra caution in confined spaces or use a different mode to navigate more accurately.
If you are using drive mode in confined spaces, maintain an adequate clearance to fixed obstacles. Due to the way in which the wheelchair self-balances, it can move unexpectedly in the event of weight shifts or collisions, e.g. with other people or fixed objects. The control panel and the foot supports are more exposed than other parts of the wheelchair and can become trapped and damaged if the clearance is too small. Scewo recommends maintaining the following minimum clearance from fixed objects when you are in drive mode:
To the side: 25 cm
To the front: 50 cm
To the back: 25 cm
If the minimum clearance cannot be maintained, use extra caution and, where possible, use park mode to navigate more accurately.
