WARNING!
RISK OF INJURY OR DAMAGE
– Care, consideration and practice MUST be taken and
observed in the following safety points. Otherwise,
injury or damage may occur.
– Safe use requires the close attention of the user as
well as the assistant. This user manual points out the
most common procedures and techniques involved in
the safe operation and maintenance of the wheelchair.
It is important to practice and master these safe
techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering
the wheelchair.
– The offensive wing design creates a potential foot
entrapment area. Ensure the occupant's legs and feet
are properly secured during use. When transferring
the occupant, ensure the feet do not slip between the
wing and the footrests.
– DO NOT use the footplate as a platform when getting
in or out of the wheelchair.
– DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
– ALWAYS use the handrims for self-propulsion.
– Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments
should be performed while the wheelchair is
unoccupied.
– Check all allen screws that secure the footrest system
to the chair frame before using the wheelchair,
especially if engaging in any contact sport.
– Anti-tippers should be properly adjusted at all times.
When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel
surfaces anti-tippers may not provide the same level
of protection against tip over. Extra caution MUST be
observed when traversing such surfaces.
