We realize that many bariatric persons can not do a side transfer or raise their legs to raise and
lower the footplate. If and only if you must step on the footplate for entering or exiting the
power wheelchair
, you must follow these instructions. Your
power wheelchair
is equipped
with a patented infi nitely adjustable rigid anti-tip system (see fi gure 1 under Battery Removal
Section). When both of the front anti-tip wheels are lowered to contact the fl oor, you can step
on the platform without tipping the chair forward. After entry the wheels must be raised to
adjust to the driving environment - 1/4” for fl at fl oors and up to 2” for outdoor terrain. Al-
ways keep the adjustment as low as possible for your driving area.
Warning:
Failure to lower
the anti-tip wheels for entry and exit will result in the chair tipping forward when you stand
on the footplate which can cause you to fall and result in possible serious injury.
Warning:
As
with any
power wheelchair
part should the anti-tip assembly become damaged, discontinue
use immediately and contact your dealer for service.
Warning:
Always keep anti-tip wheels at
the same height from fl oor to prevent tipping to side.
ALWAYS wear your lap belt.
