Safety and Maintenance
Do not exceed the maximum user weight. This may cause damage to the wheelchair, and
injury to the user, as the wheelchair can become unstable and tip over.
This wheelchair was designed to carry one person at any time. Carrying more than one
person at any time may exceed the weight limit and make the chair unstable and therefore
unsafe.
Any damage caused to the wheelchair due to miss use or exceeding the maximum weight
limits is not covered by warranty.
This wheelchair was designed to be easy to use on even surfaces. Should you come across
surfaces with uneven, bumpy or rough ground we advise to avoid if possible or approach
with caution.
Even though this wheelchair is ideal for indoor or outdoor use, we recommend that you
avoid outdoor use during bad weather (such as rain or snow) as this may increase the risk
of incidents. Exposure to excess moisture or water may cause rust to the wheelchair.
We recommend that the maximum incline angle to climb with your wheelchair is 10%.
Any attempts to climb or descend steeper inclines may cause the wheelchair to become
unstable and therefore unsafe.
Curbs and other obstacles should be approached with caution. It is recommended that the
wheelchair is driven around such obstacles wherever possible. If these obstacles can not
be avoided we recommend these are approached slowly and at 90
0
from the front or rear of
the wheelchair.
