2.10 Maximum User Weight Limit 

Refer to "Maximum User Weight" in Section 8. SPECIFICATIONS.  Loading exceeding 
weight can damage your wheelchair and cause malfunctions  yielding a safety 
hazard. The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper operation  of the 
wheelchair. 

 

2.11 Avoid General Misuse 

2.11.1 Please note that our "Owner's Manual" contains a number of cautions  -- any 

vehicle can cause injury if misused -- use within our guidelines and with 
reasonable care and your safety will be increased. Your wheelchair will give 
years of safe use if used sensibly and carefully. Be aware that careless use 
endangers your own safety as well as that of others. ALWAYS follow the 
Highway Code when outdoors and the guidelines written in this manual. 

2.11.2 Do not let any children stand or play on the wheelchair. (See Figure 2.5)
