SECTION 9—FRONT RIGGINGS
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure that all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
DO NOT stand on the front riggings, otherwise damage may occur. When getting
in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates on the front riggings are
in the upward position or moved out of the way.
While the wheelchair is moving, minimum ground clearance for the front rigging is
three inches. If the wheelchair is not moving, the front rigging MUST maintain a
minimum of one inch ground clearance - otherwise personal injury and damage may
result.
Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off
switch on the joystick is in the Off position.
