I WARNING - WHEELCHAIR SELECTION
TiLITE MANUFACTURES A WIDE VARIETY OF WHEELCHAIRS TO MEET THE VARIED NEEDS OF
WHEELCHAIR USERS. HOWEVER, TiLITE IS NOT YOUR HEALTH CARE ADVISOR, AND WE KNOW
NOTHING ABOUT YOUR INDIVIDUAL CONDITION OR NEEDS. THEREFORE, THE FINAL SELECTION
OF THE PARTICULAR MODEL, AND HOW IT IS ADJUSTED, AND THE TYPE OF OPTIONS AND
ACCESSORIES NECESSARY REST SOLELY WITH YOU, THE WHEELCHAIR USER, AND THE
HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL THAT IS ADVISING YOU. CHOOSING THE BEST CHAIR AND SETUP
FOR YOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON SUCH THINGS AS:
1. YOUR DISABILITY, STRENGTH, BALANCE AND COORDINATION;
2. THE TYPES OF HAZARDS YOU MUST OVERCOME IN DAILY USE (WHERE YOU
LIVE AND WORK AND OTHER PLACES YOU ARE LIKELY TO USE YOUR CHAIR);
AND
3. YOUR NEED FOR OPTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY AND COMFORT (SUCH AS ANTI-
TIPS, POSITIONING BELTS OR SPECIAL SEATING SYSTEMS).
IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING, YOU MAY ENDANGER YOUR HEALTH.
I WARNING - TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS
TILITE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEELCHAIR USERS NOT BE TRANSPORTED IN VEHICLES OF
ANY KIND WHILE IN WHEELCHAIRS. AS OF THIS DATE, THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION HAS NOT APPROVED ANY TIE-DOWN SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION OF
A USER WHILE IN A WHEELCHAIR IN A MOVING VEHICLE OF ANY TYPE. IT IS TILITE'S POSITION
THAT USERS OF WHEELCHAIRS SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED INTO APPROPRIATE VEHICLE
SEATING FOR TRANSPORTATION AND SHOULD USE THE RESTRAINTS MADE AVAILABLE
BY THE AUTO INDUSTRY. TILITE CANNOT, AND DOES NOT, RECOMMEND ANY WHEELCHAIR
TRANSPORTING SYSTEMS.
I WARNING - SEATING RESTRAINTS
IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF YOUR DEALER AND THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE
ADVISING YOU TO DETERMINE IF YOU REQUIRE A SEATING RESTRAINT OR POSITIONING
SYSTEM IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT YOU CAN SAFELY OPERATE YOUR WHEELCHAIR. SERIOUS
INJURY CAN OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF A FALL FROM A WHEELCHAIR.
