C. CUSHIONS & SLING SEATS

designed for the relief of pressure.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores, or if you are at risk that they

control your posture.
• Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if you need
such a device for your well-being.

2. If fasteners become loose, tighten them immediately.
3. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to

E. FOOTRESTS
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be at least 2 1/2 inches
(65mm) off the ground. If set too LOW, they may "hang up" on
obstacles you can expect to find in normal use. This may cause
the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer:
• Make sure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in the
space between the footrests.
• Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may tip
forward.
• Remove or swing the footrests out of the way, if possible.
3. The footrest should always be in the down position when
operating the chair.
PROHIBITED!
Never lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not
bear the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable
parts of the main frame.
F. MOTOR LOCKS
1. Do not engage or disengage motor locks unless power to the
chair is off. In addition, make sure both free wheel levers are
completely pushed in before turning the power on to ensure the
wheelchair can be driven in a straight forward motion.
2. Be aware that the chair will not have brakes when motor locks
are in the free-wheel position.
3. Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control
when motor locks are disengaged.
4. Make sure that the chair is on level ground when motor locks
are disengaged.
NOTE- To release the wheel locks the wheel chair may need to
be rocked back and forth slightly several times before the lock will
release.
G.ON/OFF SWITCH
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair except in an
emergency. This will result in an abrupt stop, and may cause
you to fall.
2. To slow your chair to a stop, return the joystick to neutral.
H.PNEUMATIC TIRES
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your
chair easier to use.
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-
Inflated. Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on the
tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to veer to one side
and result in a loss of control.
3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4. Never use a gas station air pump to inflate a tire. Such pumps
provide air at high volume, and could cause the tire to burst. To
prevent tire damage:
• Use a hand pump (or low volume air pump) to inflate tires.
• Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
5. Driving over sharp objects may cause damage to pneumatic
tires and tubes.
