Page 14: E. Changing/Adjusting Your Wheelchair
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS E. CHANGING/ADJUSTING YOUR WHEELCHAIR WARNING 1. Use extreme caution when changing or adjusting the configuration of your TiLite wheelchair.

Page 15: I. Motor Vehicle Safety
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS I. MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY WARNING TiLite wheelchairs are NOT designed to be used for seating in a motor vehicle, and TiLite wheelchairs do NOT meet Federal standards for motor vehicle seating. 1. NEVER sit in your chair while in any type of moving vehicle (bus, automobile, van, truck, boat, train, etc.). In an accident or sudden stop, you may be thrown from the chair. -
Page 16: L. Standing On Your Chair
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS 8. ALWAYS become familiar with the user’s wheelchair and all of its parts and components. In particular, be very aware of any removable parts. Removable parts must NEVER be used for a hand-hold or lifting supports because they may inadvertently release, resulting in possible injury to the user and/or assistant. -
Page 17: C. Climbing A Flight Of Stairs

Page 18: E. Descending A Flight Of Stairs
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS E. DESCENDING A FLIGHT OF STAIRS WARNING TiLite does NOT recommend that its wheelchairs be transported down stairways with the user in the wheelchair. However, TiLite recognizes that wheelchair users may, on occasion, have no other choice. Only if you have no alternative, you should follow these steps to descend a flight of stairs. -
Page 19: B. Transferring In And Out Of Your Wheelchair

Page 21: E. Moving Backward
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS 11. When bending or leaning, ALWAYS grasp one rear wheel with one hand. This will help to prevent a fall if the chair starts to tip over. 12. ALWAYS rotate the front casters until they are trailing forward. This will make the chair more stable. NOTE: To get your front casters to trail forward, first move your chair forward past the object you want to reach and, second, back up alongside the object. -
Page 22: H. Curbs/Steps
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS 10. NEVER push or pull on any object, such as a door knob or door jamb or furniture, in order to propel your chair. 11. If your chair has anti-tippers, lock them in place before you go UP over an obstacle. If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair. -

If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair. -
Page 24: B. Seat Slings/Cushions
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS 2. If your anti-tippers are set too LOW, they may “catch” on obstacles that you can expect to encounter in normal wheelchair use. If this happens, you may tip over and fall. 3. If your anti-tippers are set too HIGH, their ability to prevent a backward tip-over will be limited and they may not prevent a tip-over at all. -
Page 25: E. Positioning Or Seat Belts
CHAPTER 1: WARNINGS 1. If you add a seating system to your TiLite chair, you will affect its center of balance. This may cause the chair to tip over. Therefore, NEVER install a new seating system on your own. Instead, have it installed by an authorized TiLite dealer who can assist you in making other necessary adjustments to ensure your center of balance is maintained as closely as possible to what you are used to. -
