Safety

Leaning or Reaching while Seated:
Reaching out your hands or leaning your body in the chair may adversely affect the chair’s
balance. If you do not position yourself correctly, you may fall off or tip over the chair.
• Do not lean your body out of the range of the seat cushion. Your hip must be always in contact
with the seat cushion.
• Under no circumstance should you try to pick up anything through the space between your
knees or in front of your body.
• Do not exert force on the footrest to avoid the chair from tipping over, this may result in serious
injury.
CAUTION: Failing to follow these guidelines may result in serious injury. If you do any of
these actions, it is at your own risk. Never reach, bend, or lean in the chair. Doing so will
change your centre of gravity and the weight distribution of the chair.
Stationary Obstacles:
Exercise extreme caution when negotiating ramps, slopes and raised curbs etc. to avoid tipping
the chair over.
It is important to climb or descend an obstacle slowly, cautiously and perpendicularly. Failing to do
so may result in damage to the chair or causing bodily harm.
CAUTION: Do not exceed the incline guidelines and specifications in this owner’s manual.
• Lean your upper body slowly and slightly forward, when going over an obstacle with an
ascending slope.
• Lean your upper body gently against the backrest, when going over an obstacle with a
descending slope.
• Avoid any sudden stops and starts.
• Always navigate perpendicularly towards the obstacle.
