    BEFORE using the chair. 3. ALWAYS have your chair completely inspected and serviced by an authorized TiLite supplier at least once a year. 4. ALWAYS perform your safety inspections and any maintenance or adjustments while the chair is unoccupied (unless this Manual expressly states otherwise).

  • Page 14: E. Changing/Adjusting Your Wheelchair

    2. Unauthorized modifications to your chair, or the use of parts not supplied or approved by TiLite, may change the chair structure, may cause a safety hazard, including an increased risk of a tip-over, and will void the warranty.

  • Page 15: I. Motor Vehicle Safety

    The additional weight could exceed the weight limit for the chair and damage the chair. If you intend to engage in weight training, TiLite recommends that you utilize weight training equipment with built-in seating and that you transfer to that seating rather than using your chair.

  • Page 16: L. Standing On Your Chair

    L. STANDING ON YOUR CHAIR WARNING Your TiLite wheelchair has been designed for use as a wheelchair, not as a step ladder. NEVER stand on your TiLite wheelchair. If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.

  • Page 17: B. Climbing A Curb Or Single Step

    DO NOT climb a flight of stairs with the user in the wheelchair. However, TiLite recognizes that wheelchair users may, on occasion, have no other choice. Only if you have no alternative, you should follow these steps to climb up a flight of stairs.

  • Page 18: E. Descending A Flight Of Stairs

    WARNING Most falls or tip-overs occur when you go beyond the center of gravity of you and your wheelchair. TiLite wheelchairs are designed to remain stable and upright in normal daily use and activities so long as you do not exceed the center of gravity.

  • Page 19: B. Transferring In And Out Of Your Wheelchair

    However, using a TiLite seat pouch beneath the seat sling to carry heavier items will lower your center of gravity and reduce, but not eliminate, your risk of a tip over.

  • Page 20: C. Dressing/Undressing In Your Chair

    9. If possible, ALWAYS remove the footrests, or swing them out of the way, to ensure your feet do not get caught between the footrests. TiLite strongly recommends that you place your feet on the floor when you are transferring to or from your chair.

    TiLite also offers a limited number of seat cushions manufactured by other manufacturers. However, the selection of any of these products is a decision to be made by you and your doctor or therapist. TiLite has NO information about your medical condition and assumes no responsibility should you choose the wrong seating system for your medical needs.

  • Page 25: C. Upholstery Fabric

    TiLite chair. In addition, the following Warnings must be followed: 1. If you add a seating system to your TiLite chair, you will affect its center of balance. This may cause the chair to tip over. Therefore, NEVER install a new seating system on your own. Instead, have it installed by an authorized TiLite dealer who can assist you in making other necessary adjustments to ensure your center of balance is maintained as closely as possible to what you are used to.

  • Page 26: F. Armrests

    F. ARMRESTS WARNING Armrests are optional equipment on TiLite wheelchairs. TiLite armrests are detachable and are not designed to support the weight of your wheelchair. Therefore, NEVER lift your chair by its armrests. If you do, they may detach, causing you to drop the chair, or you may break the armrests or cause them to become loose and break at a later time unexpectedly.

  • Page 27: I. Axles

    WARNING Stainless quick-release axles are a standard TiLite wheelchair component. Other axle types are optional equipment. All TiLite axles are designed to make your rear wheels easy to remove quickly. However, if not used properly, they can be dangerous. NEVER use your chair UNLESS you are sure that both rear axles are locked into place in the axle receiver. If an axle is not fully locked into place, the rear wheel may come off during use of the chair and cause you to fall.

  • Page 28: Fasteners

    WARNING Caster pin locks are an optional accessory for TiLite wheelchairs. Caster pin locks are not designed to slow or stop a moving wheelchair – they do not prevent the casters from rotating on the axis of the axle. Caster pin locks are ONLY designed to keep the front casters from rotating on the axis of the stem bolt when your chair is at a complete stop.

  • Page 29: Power Drive

    TiLite, contact TiLite Customer Service. If you intend to install an approved power drive system on your TiLite chair, this must be taken into account when your chair is ordered so TiLite can manufacture your chair with a power-adaptable frame.

  • Page 31: Chapter 2: Safety Inspection, Maintenance & Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING Introduction Your TiLite wheelchair is designed, engineered and built to provide you with years of exceptional performance. However, proper maintenance and regular safety inspections are essential in order to make sure your wheelchair is operating properly, safely and at maximum efficiency. In addition, proper maintenance and regular safety inspections will extend the life of your TiLite wheelchair.

    Titanium Open Loop Footrest, enclosed with your chair are two 4” squares of self-adhesive Safe Tread. Safe Tread provides a more slip-resistant surface than the footrest of your chair.
