Everest Lite Owner's Manual
GF0600055RevA06, October 006
WARNING: Never connect a respirator or other life-support device to the wheelchair
batteries, since it will shorten the battery operating time. This could
cause an unanticipated failure of both the wheelchair and the life-sup-
port equipment.
WARNING: Do not stand or step on the footboard while transferring to or from your
wheelchair. This could cause the wheelchair to tip or could cause per-
sonal injury or damage to your wheelchair.
WARNING: Always ensure that the wheelchair is on a stable, level surface, engage
the drive engagement levers, and turn wheelchair power off before
transferring, using a wheelchair lift, or using an elevator.
WARNING: Do not attempt to reach objects if you are required to move forward in
the seat. Do not attempt to retrieve objects from the floor if you must
reach down between your knees. Do not shift your weight in the direc-
tion that you are reaching and/or bending; this could cause the wheel-
chair to tip.
WARNING: Unauthorized modification or the use of non-Everest & Jennings® re-
placement parts could change the structure of the wheelchair, void the
warranty, and create a hazardous condition resulting in serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Do not lean on this wheelchair, use it to support yourself (except while
sitting in it), or use it as a walker—these are practices which could re-
sult in loss of balance and personal injury.
WARNING: Do not tow any loads or "piggyback" passengers or heavy packages.
WARNING: Keep all cables away from the moving parts of the wheelchair.
WARNING: Do not use your wheelchair on escalators.
WARNING: As a safety feature, this wheelchair is equipped with fail-safe electro-
mechanical park brakes. Any interruption in the power supply will cause
these brakes to immediately engage and stop the wheelchair. If the user
is not properly positioned, an unanticipated stop could pitch the user
forward and out of the wheelchair. Use the positioning strap at all times
to prevent injury.
GF Health Products, Inc. specifically disclaims responsibility for any personal injury
or property damage which may occur during any use which does not comply with
federal, state, or local laws or ordinances.
