DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.
DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair
to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the chair.
DO NOT leave the power button in the On position when entering or exiting your
wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the flip‐up footboard, otherwise damage may occur. When getting in
or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the flip‐up footboard is in the upward position.
DO NOT stand on the front riggings, otherwise damage may occur. When getting in or
out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates on the front riggings are in the
upward position or moved out of the way.
When determining the depth of the telescoping front frame tubes, make sure the rear of
the footrests do not interfere with the movement of the front casters. Otherwise damage
to the wheelchair may result or may impede proper operation.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt
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, belt MUST be replaced
IMMEDIATELY.
Use the seat swivel option with caution when accessories are installed (such as safety flag,
crutch/cane holder, etc.). Otherwise, property damage may occur.
DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release levers until the power is in the Off
position.
Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off switch on
the joystick is in the Off position.
Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious
injury or damage to property may result.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by
means of any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the
user or damage to the wheelchair.
Make sure the detent balls of the quick‐release pin are fully released beyond the outer
edge of the tube before operating the wheelchair. Otherwise, injury and/or damage may
result.
Keep detent balls clean.
