SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
DO NOT stand on the front riggings, otherwise damage may occur. When getting in or
out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates on the front riggings are in the
upward position or moved out of the way.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt
only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as
auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt must be replaced immediately.
Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure prior to use when an assistant
is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or deterioration and if
found, contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt to move the wheelchair by using the
hand grips if they are found to be unsecure or have deteriorated.
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with
cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning
solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this
warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders.
If wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or Below 32°F), high
humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips do not twist on wheelchair
handle - otherwise damage or injury may occur.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat frame rails
are fully seated into the side frame H-blocks.
Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off switch on
the joystick is in the Off position.
Avoid storage or use near external flame or combustible products.
Tire Pressure
DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.).
DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions can cause the tire to
explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall
of the tire.
Electrical Accessories
EXTREME care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric
circuits and other combustible materials. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in
the use of oxygen.
Batteries
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the
use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. ProBasics strongly recommends
their use as the power source for this unit.
