ALWAYS turn the
power wheelchair
power OFF and engage the motor locks/clutches to pre-
vent the wheels from moving BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the
power wheel-
chair
. Also make sure every precaution is taken to reduce the gap distance.
DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks/clutches until the power is in the OFF position.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down hard surface ramps greater than allowed in specifi cations. Use
special caution on soft surfaces as they greatly reduce incline rating. See specifi cations for
your power wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil fi lm or loss of control
& braking will result.
DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles greater than maximum climbing capability
shown in specifi cations . Doing so may cause your
power wheelchair

bodily harm or damage to the
power wheelchair
.
DO NOT use unauthorized parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Lei-
sure-Lift.
DO NOT attempt to lift the
power wheelchair
by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts.
Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a
power wheelchair
may result in
injury to the user of damage to the
power wheelchair
.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the
power wheelchair
.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the
power wheelchair
,
make sure that the footplate are in the upward position or swing footrests towards the outside

.
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.
