Lift Stability 

KateZ Lift must be used on stable ground.  Although sensors will prevent the lift from raising on unstable 
ground, never use the lift on a slope greater than 5°.or uneven surfaces, on slick or wet surfaces, or 
surfaces prone to shifting (such as gravel or sand). Using KateZ Lift on unstable ground may adversely 
affect the stability of the wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user and passenger and 
damage to the wheelchair and surrounding property. 

 

Reaching and Leaning Safety

 (See the Safety/Handling section for more detailed 

information) 

Negatively affecting the center of gravity on a wheelchair can easily be done with extended motions 
such as reaching or leaning. These actions make the wheelchair more prone to tipping over. The 
consequences of these extended motions are further increased when in a lifted position. Once you 
affect the center of gravity, the wheelchair is instantly more prone to tipping over. Instead of reaching 
or leaning, you should do the following: 

 

1.

 

Move the wheelbase as close as possible to where you need to be.

 

2.

 

Use a tool like an extension grabber to pick up things beyond your reach.
