Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that warrant your attention are
included in this user manual. Read the entire manual carefully before operating your new
wheelchair, and refer to it as often as necessary to help maintain good performance standards.
Consult your healthcare professional and GF authorized distributor for assistance in developing and
learning safe and effective techniques for performing your daily activities according to your individual
physical abilities and needs, and to make certain that your wheelchair is properly prescribed and

The safety precautions in this manual are general warnings intended to be used only as

inspection of the mechanical parts, to ensure proper operation. Some suggested inspection

When it comes to service and repair, remember that your GF authorized distributor knows your
wheelchair best.
