WARNINGS

Do not adjust or operate Wheelchair without carefully reading

and understanding all instructions in this manual.

• Be sure that attendants are fully knowledgeable regarding proper

assisting procedures. Consult your physician, nurse, or physical

therapist to determine the safest and most effective method of

operation for your individual needs.

• This Wheelchair should not be used as a seat in any type of

motor vehicle.

• Do not operate this wheelchair on any roadway or street or on

any surface with vehicular traffic.

• Do not operate on inclines without proper assistance.

• When getting in and out of wheelchair or when in elevator or

wheelchair lift, wheel locks must be fully engaged.

• Wheelchair should be on a smooth, stable and level area with

wheel locks engaged before transferring user in or out of

wheelchair.

USING WHEEL LOCKS

The wheel locks should be engaged against both rear wheels

before sitting down or getting up from the chair.

STABILITY

DO NOT move forward on the seat while leaning forward out of the

chair. If absolutely necessary, make sure the casters are in the

forward position. This creates a longer wheelbase and gives the

wheelchair more stability. Never reach further forward than the

length of your arm, as this can cause tipping.

SAFE TRANSFER

It is recommended that you work with a qualified healthcare

professional before attempting to transfer on your own. Ensure that

the wheelchair is on a smooth, stable, and level surface with wheel

locks engaged before transferring. Position the wheelchair as close

as possible to the seat you are transferring to. Rotate the front

casters until they face fully forward. Ensure that armrests are out of

the way and remove or swing footrests out of the way if possible.

Do not stand on or apply weight to the footrest when getting up, as

this can cause tipping.

RAMPS AND SLOPES

Be certain of your physical capabilities and limitations before

attempting to propel the wheelchair up a ramp. It is recommended

that you consult with a qualified professional to learn the proper

techniques for ramp negotiation before attempting to do so on

your own.

Do not use the chair on an incline steeper than 10% without

assistance. Never turn or change direction on a slope and always

stay in the middle of the ramp. If it is necessary to stop while on a

slope, avoid abrupt or sudden movements when you resume moving.

Never use the rear wheel locks as breaks to slow or stop your chair,

as this could cause the wheelchair to veer or tip to one side.
