1.4 Safety Information on Using the Seating
System
Your seating system has been specially configured and assembled to
the wheelchair base prior to delivery. Note that the final configuration
and purchasing decision regarding the complete wheelchair system is
the responsibility of the power wheelchair user, who is capable of
making such a decision, and his/her healthcare professional. The
contents of this manual are based on the expectation that a power
wheelchair expert has fitted the power wheelchair to the user and has
assisted the prescribing healthcare professional in the instruction and
use of this device.

The user manual of the power wheelchair contains all relevant safety
information about the use of the power wheelchair including the
seating system. Be certain to read and follow these safety information.
WARNING!
Risk of Tipping
The power wheelchair may tip over when you change its
stability characteristics by changing your seating position.
— Determine and establish your personal safety limits by
practicing bending, reaching and transferring activities in
the presence of a qualified healthcare professional
before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
— Your seating system can be mounted onto the base in
various forward and aft positions. Make certain that the
position selected provides you with maximum stability
over the full range of seating positions.
— Consider all personal gear and accessories (backpacks,
vent systems, extra batteries, etc.) that will be carried on
the wheelchair. For example, a loaded backpack,
attached to the back of the seating system, can
significantly reduce the rearward stability of your
wheelchair.
— Consider the backrest being used. For example, a
recessed back can shift your centre of gravity backward
and significantly reduce the rearward stability of the
wheelchair. Conversely, a thick back cushion will shift
you forward and reduce the wheelchairs forward
stability.
