M. PUSH HANDLES
WARNING
Push handles are optional equipment on TiLite wheelchairs. Push handles provide secure points
for an attendant or assistant to hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over. If you have
an attendant or assistant, you should have push handles installed on your chair by TiLite. TiLite
offers push handles that are integral to the back canes and bolt-on push handles. TiLite
recommends that you do NOT use non-TiLite bolt-on push handles because they will damage
the backrest of your TiLite chair. Your attendant or assistant should regularly check the push
handle grips to make sure they fit securely and will not rotate or slip off.
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.
N. FASTENERS
WARNING
TiLite uses only high-strength, high quality fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws and clamps) on its
wheelchairs. If you replace any of these fasteners with improper or inferior fasteners, you may
damage your chair or may cause it to fail unexpectedly.
1. ALWAYS use fasteners obtained from an authorized TiLite dealer.
2. REGULARLY inspect all fasteners to make sure they have not become loose. If any become
loose, tighten them immediately.
3. NEVER over- or under-tighten the fasteners on your chair. Over-tightened or under-tightened
fasteners may damage your chair or fail unexpectedly.
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.
O. POWER DRIVE
WARNING
Certain manufacturers offer manual wheelchair power drive add-on products. TiLite has
approved only a limited number of these products for use with TiLite wheelchairs. For more
information about power add-ons approved by TiLite, contact TiLite Customer Service.
If you intend to install an approved power drive system on your TiLite chair, this must be taken
into account when your chair is ordered so TiLite can manufacture your chair with a power-
adaptable frame.
If you have not purchased your TiLite chair with a power adaptable frame, do not install a power
drive on your TiLite chair. If you install a power drive add-on system to your TiLite chair and your
chair does not have a power adaptable frame, you may damage your chair and you will void
your warranty.
In addition, power drive systems are heavy and will affect the center of balance of your chair.
Any change to the center of balance of your chair could cause you to lose control or fall or tip-
over.
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.
