Sorry for cross posting.

 

I was wondering if anyone out there has a document with some basic pointers for power wheelchair use/care.

 

I run our loan closet and most of the people getting power wheelchair from us have not used power wheelchairs before.  I was about to start creating a simple care sheet, but I thought that maybe someone out there has something that I could use as a jumping off point.

 

I am mainly concerned about proper storage and battery care.

 

Thanks in advance,
