WARNING
Make sure you read all warnings and follow all instructions in
each section of this Owner's Manual. Be aware that warnings that
apply to the user also apply to you.
1. DO NOT stand or sit on any portion of the power
wheelchair.

or therapist, to develop safe methods best suited to your
abilities and those of the user.
3. To manually push the power wheelchair you must disengage
the freewheel or brake release levers:
• Make sure the wheelchair is on level ground when levers
are disengaged.
• DO NOT engage or disengage freewheel/brake
release levers unless power to the wheelchair is off.
In addition, make sure you have full control over the
wheelchair when disengaging the levers because the
power wheelchair will not have braking ability.
• Make sure both levers are completely engaged before
turning power on to ensure proper control of the
wheelchair.
NOTE
- To engage or disengage freewheel release levers, you
may have to rock the wheelchair back and forth

4. Propel this power wheelchair by the push handles only. They
provide secure points for you to hold onto at the rear of the
wheelchair to pre vent a fall or tip-over.
• Check to make sure push handle grips will not
rotate or slip off.
