5. Anti-Tippers MUST be used with your wheelchair at all times. Because anti-tippers are an option
on this wheelchair, TiLite strongly recommends you order the anti-tippers as they are an
important safeguard for the wheelchair user.
6. Together with your health care advisor, you MUST analyze your medical condition to determine
whether you are capable of using this chair safely and/or what options or accessories you will
require in order to use this chair safely (e.g., pressure-relief cushions, seat belts).
If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure
yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
E. CHANGING/ADJUSTING YOUR WHEELCHAIR
WARNING
1. Use extreme caution when changing or adjusting the configuration of your TiLite wheelchair.
When you change or adjust the configuration, you may increase the risk of a tip-over. Therefore,
you should consult your authorized TiLite dealer BEFORE you change or adjust the
configuration. Further, TiLite recommends that you use anti-tippers at all times, and this is
particularly true after you have changed or adjusted the configuration of your chair.
2. Unauthorized modifications to your chair, or the use of parts not supplied or approved by TiLite,
may change the chair structure, may cause a safety hazard, including an increased risk of a tip-
over, and will void the warranty.
If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously
injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
F. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
WARNING
1. Riding your TiLite wheelchair on a wet, icy or other slick surface increases the risk of losing
control of the wheelchair or tipping over. Use extra care if you must ride your chair on any such
surface. If you have any doubt about your ability to negotiate a particular surface, ALWAYS ask
for assistance.
2. Titanium does not rust or corrode. However, contact with water or excess moisture may still
damage parts or components of your TiLite wheelchair that are made from other materials and
could cause such parts or components to fail. Therefore, DO NOT:
a. use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of water,
b. leave your chair in a damp location, or
c. fail to dry your chair as soon as you can if it gets wet or if you use water to clean it.
If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously
injure yourself or others or damage the wheelchair.
G. STREET USE
WARNING
1. As a wheelchair rider, you MUST obey all traffic rules pertaining to pedestrians (use of
crosswalks, etc.). Most states do not permit wheelchairs to be ridden on public roads, streets or
highways (i.e., as one would drive a car), so you should not do so without first consulting the
traffic laws in your own state. Even if legal, riding your wheelchair on public roads, streets or
highways is extremely dangerous and is not recommended.
2. At all times when riding your wheelchair in public areas (sidewalks, crosswalks, parking lots,
etc.), be very alert to the danger of motor vehicles.
3. At night, or when lighting is poor, use reflective tape on your chair and clothing.
