Pinch points may occur when returning the seat from any tilted position to the full upright position or when lowering the
elevating seat. Make sure the hands and body of both the occupant and attendants/bystanders are clear of all pinch points
before returning the seat to the full upright position or lowering the elevating seat.
NEVER operate the wheelchair while the back is in any tilted/back angle position over 20° relative to the vertical position. If
the drive lock-out does not stop the wheelchair from operating in a tilt/back angle position over 20° relative to the vertical
position, DO NOT operate the wheelchair. DO NOT attempt to adjust the drive lock-out. Have the wheelchair serviced
by a qualified technician.
Use caution when driving in a tilted position.

DO NOT operate seating system while the wheelchair is moving.
DO NOT operate the tilt function near or under a fixed object such as a table or desk.
