WARNING
- ATTENDANTS
Make sure you read all warnings and follow all instructions
in each section of this manual. Be aware that warnings that
apply to the user also apply to you.
1. Do not stand or sit on any portion of the wheelchair.
2. You need to work with the user, and the user’s doctor,
nurse or therapist, to develop safe methods best suited
to your abilities and those of the user.
3. To manually push the chair you must release the motor
locks.
• Do not engage or disengage motor locks unless
power to the chair is off. In addition, make sure both
free wheel levers are completely engaged before
turning the power on to ensure the wheelchair can
be driven in a straight forward motion.
• Make sure you have full control over the chair when
you release the motor locks. When you do so the
chair will not have brakes.
• Make sure the chair is on level ground before you
release the motor locks.
NOTE - To release the wheel locks the wheel chair may need to
be rocked back and forth slightly several times before the lock
will release.
4. Propel this chair by the push handles only. They
provide secure points for you to hold onto the rear of
the chair to pre vent a fall or tip-over.
• Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate
or slip off.

that such a device may be in use near your chair.
2. Be aware of nearby radio or TV stations, and avoid
coming close to them.

your chair off as soon as it is safe.

adjust the chair. Your supplier can help you find and
correct the problem.
