Warning: Do not attempt inclines without anti-tippers
installed. Do not attempt any incline or decline
greater than six degrees (10% grade, or one foot of
rise or fall per ten feet of ramp length).
Warning: Do not turn wheelchair while going downhill,
as wheelchair could tip over.
Warning: This wheelchair does not offer seating or
occupant restraint equivalent to the seat provided in a
motor vehicle! To increase your safety while traveling
in a motor vehicle, always transfer to the vehicle seat
and use the restraint provided by the vehicle manu-
facturer.
Warning: Do not tie down or attach anything to the
wheels. This could cause tipping and possibly result in
injury or damage to the wheelchair.
Warning: The footplates' lowest point should clear the
ground by at least 2-1/2 inches, to permit proper
clearance of potential obstruction.
Warning: Doing a "wheelie" (tilting the wheelchair
backward until it reaches its balance point) is danger-
ous and could result in personal injury to the user.
Warning: Do not stand or step on the footplates while
transferring to or from your wheelchair. This could
cause the wheelchair to tip or may cause personal
injury or damage to your wheelchair.
Warning: Always engage wheel locks before transfer-
ring, using a wheelchair lift or using an elevator.
Warning: Ensure that wheelchair is on a stable, level
surface and engage wheel locks before and during
transfer.
