2 SAFETY
WARNING
When returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position, more body strength will be required for
approximately the last twenty degrees of incline (sitting up). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or
seek assistance to avoid injury.
ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair.
Operation Information
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in the presence
of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning strap only. It is not designed for use as
a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, strap MUST be
replaced IMMEDIATELY.
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet,
prior to use, ensure handgrips DO NOT twist on the wheelchair handle - otherwise damage or injury may occur.
ALWAYS check foam grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose, contact a qualified technician for
instructions.
The necessary back angle (90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115° or 120°) MUST be selected before repositioning the rear wheels
forward.
DO NOT operate the tilt-in-space if the trigger release levers and cables are not properly adjusted to ensure that the tilt-
in-space is locked in place when engaged.
Pinch point may occur when returning the tilted seat to the full upright position. Make sure the hands and body of the
occupant, attendants and bystanders are clear of all pinch points before returning the tilted seat to the full upright position.
