Casters should be checked periodically
and lubricated occasionally. Lubricate by removing fork and
greasing caster stem bearings and wheel bearings.

Do not operate this wheelchair on roadways, streets or any
surfaces with vehicular traffic.

Wheelchair should be on a smooth, stable and level area
with wheel locks engaged before transferring user in or out
of wheelchair.
Footrest should not be lower than 2½″ from the ground to
ensure clearance.
Do not stand on or apply weight to foot rests.
Rotate casters to front of the wheelchair and engage wheel
locks to help prevent wheelchair from tipping over before

position. Do not lean over or apply weight to the top of
