1. PREFACE

Please carefully read this owner's manual before using the wheelchair.
Improper use of the wheelchair could result in harm or injury.
1.1 This owner's manual includes operation instructions for the aspects

of the wheelchair, unfolding/folding instructions and instructions on
how to deal with possible accidents.

1.2 As designs change, some illustrations and pictures in this owner's

manual may not correspond to the wheelchair that you purchased.
We reserve the right to make design modifications without further
notice.

1.3 Whenever possible, please get help from an assistant/attendant

while going on inclines, curbs or stairs.

2. SAFETY

2.1 Doorways

The safest way to operate the chair is on level floors that are free of
obstacles. Whenever possible use a ramp to enter or exit a facility.
Keeping your hands on the push rims will allow you to maintain
maximum balance. Do not try to force yourself over an obstruction by
propulsion and never use the sides of a doorway to pull yourself through
a passageway.

2.2 Leaning

Do not lean over the side of your wheelchair since such an action may
cause you to lose balance and fall. (See Figure 2.3)

2.3 Negotiating Inclines

2.3.1 Never turn on a hill due to the danger of tipping.
2.3.2 When assisting, go straight up a slope. If user needs to go down

midway, walk backwards until user is on level ground. (See Figures 2.4 and
2.5)
