FREEWHEEL RELEASE LEVERS
& BRAKE RELEASE LEVERS
!
WARNING
1. DO NOT engage or disengage freewheel/brake release
levers unless power to the wheelchair is off. In addition, make
sure both levers are completely engaged before turning the
power on to ensure proper control of the wheelchair.
2. Make sure that the person pushing the wheelchair has full
control when disengaging the levers because the power
wheelchair will not have braking ability.
3. Make sure that the wheelchair is on level ground when levers
are disengaged.
NOTE - To engage or disengage levers, you may have to
rock the wheelchair back and forth and/or push against the
wheelchair while moving the lever.
ON/OFF SWITCH
!
WARNING
1. NEVER use the ON/OFF switch to stop the power
wheelchair except in an emergency. This will result in an
abrupt stop, and may cause a fall.
2. To slow your power wheelchair to a stop, return the
joystick to neutral.
PNEUMATIC TIRES
!
WARNING
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your
power wheelchair easier to use.
1. DO NOT use this power wheelchair if any of the tires are
under- or over-inflated. Check weekly for proper inflation
level, as listed on the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the wheelchair to veer to
one side and result in a loss of control.
3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4. NEVER use a gas station air pump to inflate a tire. Such
pumps provide air at high volume, and could cause the tire to
burst. To prevent tire damage:
• Use a hand pump (or low volume air pump)
to inflate tires.
• Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
5. Driving over sharp objects may cause damage to pneumatic
tires and tubes.
POSITIONING BELTS
!
WARNING
Use a positioning belt only to help support your posture. Im proper
use of such belts may cause severe injury or death.
1. Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the seat. If this
occurs, you may suffer chest compression or suffocate due
to pressure from the belt. A pelvic wedge or a similar device
can help keep you from sliding down in the seat. Consult
your health care professional to find out if you need such a
device.
2. Always use the pelvic and chest belts when in
standing mode.
3. The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it interferes
with breathing. You should be able to slide your open hand,
flat, between the belt and your body.
4. Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.

PROHIBITED!
NEVER USE A POSITIONING BELT
• In place of a motor vehicle seat belt. In an accident or
sudden stop you may be thrown from the wheelchair. A
positioning belt will not prevent this, and further injury may
result from the belt.
• As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.
• On a user who is comatose or agitated.
PUSH HANDLES
!
WARNING
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel
and control the power wheelchair. This helps to prevent
a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
