OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: Caregivers or others operating the product or moving the occupant must be aware of the location of the occupant’s hands and feet. Operators must confirm that the occupant’s extremities are safely located before moving the chair from position to position, moving the chair from place to place, or moving the occupant from the chair.
