12 General Warnings D82014014B 10/15
• DO NOT tip or push the wheelchair without assistance,
unless you are physically able to do so.
• DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
• ALWAYS use caution when transferring into or out of the
wheelchair. Every precaution should be taken to reduce
the transfer distance. Also be certain the wheel locks are
engaged to prevent the wheels from moving.
• Riding over curbs or obstacles can cause tipping and serious
bodily harm. If you have any doubt that you can safely
cross any curb or obstacle, ALWAYS ASK FOR HELP. Be aware
of your riding skills and personal limitations. Develop new
skills only with the help of a companion.
• The wheelchair is not designed for weight training and
is unsafe for use as a seat while weight training. Weight
training from the wheelchair substantially changes the
stability of the chair and may cause tipping.
