HELPFUL HINTS FOR EVERYDAY USE
WHEN TRANSFERRING OR NOT USING THE AMIGO,
WE RECOMMEND TURNING THE AMIGO TO THE OFF POSITION.
BATHROOM
In the bathroom, maneuvering room is usually limited. Back into bathroom, then position close to the toilet, swivel the seat,
lock it in position and transfer. When using the bathtub, back up parallel to the tub. Swivel the seat and place
your feet in the tub. Engage seat lock and carefully transfer.
DO NOT USE YOUR AMIGO WHILE TAKING A SHOWER. WATER MAY GET INTO THE MICROPROCESSING
CONTROLLER (MPC) AND CAUSE ELECTRONIC MALFUNCTIONS.
BEDROOM
To transfer to the bed, back up parallel to it. Swivel, lock seat into position and ease onto the bed. If charging the batteries
overnight, it may be easiest to plug in the battery charger before transferring. For added ease, when using a power seat lift,
raise your seat slightly higher than the surface to which you are transferring.
KITCHEN
For access to a refrigerator, make a parallel approach or back up to the outside of the refrigerator. Swivel the seat.
Approach a table, sink or stove by maneuvering parallel to it. Swivel the seat to the desired position.
The handle will be out of the way.
CAR
To transfer to a car, make a parallel approach to the side of the car, release the door latch and open the door as you drive
forward. Back parallel to the side of the car and into the door opening. Swivel the seat, lock it in position and carefully slide

Backing into an elevator allows you to exit forward. Be sure the elevator is level with the floor.
BATTERY INFORMATION &
CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS
Battery Information
For maximum range and life, it is recommended to fully charge the batteries before using. Extended charging is good for the
batteries and will not overcharge them. Amigos have an overcharge protection feature so that the batteries can be charged
anytime the Amigo is not being used. It is a popular misconception that batteries should be deeply discharged before
recharging. This is not the proper procedure for all batteries. They can actually be damaged if they are discharged too
deeply before recharging.
Battery range depends on driver weight, terrain and type of battery used. Charge your batteries daily when the
Amigo is used. Make sure that the charger cord is unplugged from the wall outlet before moving your Amigo.
