Yamaha NAVIGO Owner's Manual page 15

● In areas with an incline, do not switch the clutch levers to the manual position. The wheel-
chair may start moving unexpectedly, and may collide or tip over.
● Do not operate the clutch levers while the wheelchair is in motion. There is a risk of
collision or tipping over.
If you switch the clutch levers to the manual position while traveling in power drive, the
motor brake loses its effect and the wheelchair may go out of control.
If you switch the clutch levers to the power drive position while traveling in the manual
drive, brakes are applied to the rear tires. This abrupt braking can cause your body to
plunge forward or damage the wheelchair.
● Removing the battery while traveling causes the
brakes to be applied to the rear tires, and may
cause you or people around you to get injured.
● Turning off the power switch while traveling
causes the brakes to be applied to the rear tires,
and you or people around you may get injured.
● While the wheelchair is being operated or after
operation, do not touch the back of the drive units.
During or after operation, the back of the drive
units may be hot. In addition, if the wheelchair is
near a source of heat, the drive units may become
hot.
● While operating the wheelchair, be careful not to
get your hands tangled in the wheel spokes, wheel
holes, etc.
● The wheels of the NAVIGO 16" are not equipped with hand rims. When operating the
NAVIGO 16", do not manually drive the wheelchair by holding its rear tires or wheels. You
may injure yourself.
● When moving past hedgerows and trees, maintain a suitable distance to prevent the rear
wheels from coming into contact with twigs or other protruding items. If twigs or other
items from hedgerows and trees get caught in the rear wheels when operating the wheel-
chair, it may result in the wheels becoming locked, the clutch lever being knocked into the
manual position, collisions or the wheelchair tipping over.
