Warnings
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious
bodily injury may occur.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from
behind as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are
reaching as the wheelchair may tip over backwards or sideways.
DO NOT tip or wheel the wheelchair without assistance, unless you are
highly skilled.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel
locks are not brakes.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
ALWAYS use caution when transferring in 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.
Cautions
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 limi-
tations. 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 substan-
tially changes the stability of the chair and may cause tipping.
