SAFETY




DRIVING ON AN INCLINE

Drive with caution when attempting to negotiate any incline, even handicap access
ramps.

Always climb or descend a gradient by driving straight up or straight down the face of
the slope.

Do not traverse or drive across the face of a gradient.

Do not attempt to negotiate an incline that is covered with snow, ice, cut or wet grass,
leaves, or any other potentially hazardous material.

Do not back down an incline.

Try to keep your Compass

moving when climbing an incline. If you do come to a

stop, restart and accelerate slowly and carefully.

Do not try to descend or climb an incline that is greater than the maximum incline
stated in the specifications section of this manual.

If, while you are driving down a slope, your chair starts to move faster
than you feel is safe, gently release the joystick and allow your
Compass

to come to a stop. When you feel that you again have

control of your power chair, adjust the speed control to a lower setting
then push the joystick forward and continue safely down the remainder
of the slope.


MEDICATION
Always check with your physician to determine if any of the medications you are taking
may affect your judgment and/or your ability to operate your Compass

.

Do not connect or allow anyone except an authorized Golden

Technologies, Inc. representative to connect any electrical or
mechanical device to your Compass

. Unauthorized accessories will

void the warranty and may cause injury.
