positioning systems, refer to the information supplied in 
supplemental manuals or contact your Quantum Rehab

heed this warning can result in the power chair tipping 

over.

Never operate your power chair while tilted or reclined 

on bumpy or uneven surfaces. Failure to heed this 

warning can result in the power chair tipping over.
