2 SAFETY
WARNING
Exercise caution and avoid sudden stops when traveling up or down an incline or over obstacles and rough terrain. If
stopping becomes necessary under these driving conditions, release the joystick and allow the wheelchair to come to a full
stop. Then proceed at a slower speed.
DO NOT traverse down ramps at high speed. Doing so will reduce traction and increase stopping distance.
DO NOT leave elevating legrests in the fully extended position when proceeding down ramps or slopes.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice use of this product on various sloping surfaces in the
presence of a qualified healthcare provider before attempting active use of this wheelchair. Other general warnings listed
within this document also apply.
Be aware that carrying heavy objects on your lap while occupying the wheelchair may adversely affect the stability of the
wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user, damage to the wheelchair and surrounding property.
This wheelchair has been designed to accommodate one individual. If more than one individual occupies the wheelchair this
may adversely affect the stability of the wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user and passenger and damage
to the wheelchair and surrounding property.
Many activities require the wheelchair user to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These movements will
cause a change to the normal balance, center of gravity, and weight distribution of the wheelchair. 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 stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times maintain proper balance. Your wheelchair has been designed to
remain upright and stable during normal daily activities as long as you DO NOT move beyond the center of gravity. DO NOT lean forward out of
the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests.
