E. FOOTRESTS
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be at least 2 1/2 inches off the ground.
If set too LOW, they may "hang up" on obstacles you can expect to find in nor-
mal use. This may cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer:
• Make sure your feet do not "hang up" or get caught in the space between
the footrests.
• Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may tip forward.
• Remove or swing the footrests out of the way, if possible.
3. Never lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not bear the
weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main
frame.
F. ON/OFF SWITCH
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair except in an emergency.
This may result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to fall.
2. To slow your chair to a stop, pull back on the handrims.
G. PNEUMATIC TIRES
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair easier to use.
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-inflated. Check
weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to veer to one side and result in a
loss of control.
3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4. Never use a gas station air pump to inflate a tire. Such pumps provide air at
high volume, and could cause the tire to burst. To prevent tire damage:
• Use a hand pump (or a low volume air pump) to inflate tires.
• Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
5. Driving over sharp objects may cause damage to pneumatic tires and tubes.
NOTE– Use of airless inserts is not recommended and will void the warranty.
