WARNING
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations
in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.
DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur. Before attempting to transfer in or out
of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are
transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving.
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 ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to
the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a
wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
Check all allen screws that secure the footrest/raised footrest system to the chair frame before using the wheelchair, especially if engaging
in any contact sport.
