WARNING! Never travel down an incline backward. Doing so may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
Always exercise extreme caution when negotiating an incline.
WARNING! If your wheelchair is equipped with an optional carry bag mounted to the seat back, do
not overload the bag or exceed the maximum load rating of the bag. Doing so could cause
instability in your wheelchair when negotiating inclines, causing it to tip.
WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7%) may put your
wheelchair in an unstable position and cause it to tip over.
Outdoor Driving Surfaces
Your wheelchair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions, which
are dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, the manufacturer
recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason,
your wheelchair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to
use your wheelchair safely on flat lawns and in park areas.
■
Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.
■
Avoid tall grass that can entangle the wheel spokes.
■
Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.
■
Avoid uneven surfaces.
■
Do not use your wheelchair in any water mass, fresh water, or saltwater.
■
Do not use your wheelchair at the edge of any stream, lake, ocean, or body of water.
■
If you feel unsure about a driving surface, avoid that surface.
Inclement Weather Precautions
Exposure of your wheelchair to inclement weather conditions should be avoided whenever
possible. If while operating the wheelchair, you are caught in sudden rain, snow, severe cold, or
heat, proceed to shelter at the earliest opportunity. Thoroughly dry your wheelchair and inspect
for damage to all components before storing or resuming use of this product.
WARNING! Operating in rain, snow, salt, mist or spray conditions, and on icy or slippery surfaces
can have an adverse affect on your wheelchair. Maintain and store your wheelchair in a dry and
clean condition.
