READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR
WHEELCHAIR
I INTRODUCTION
Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that warrant
your attention are included in this owner's manual. Read the entire
manual carefully before operating your new wheelchair, and refer to it as
often as necessary to help maintain good performance standards.
Consult your healthcare professional and Graham-Field Health Products
dealer for assistance in developing and learning safe and effective
techniques for performing your daily activities according to your
individual physical abilities and needs, and to make certain that your
wheelchair is properly prescribed and adjusted for your use.
The safety precautions in this manual are general warnings intended to
be used only as basic guidelines. You may find it necessary to develop
your own methods for safely solving frequently encountered challenges.
Again, consult your professional medical advisors for their recommen-
dations about safety methods, and never hesitate to ask for their
assistance.
Your wheelchair should receive frequent, regularly scheduled mainte-
nance, including an inspection of the mechanical parts, to ensure proper
operation. Some suggested inspection procedures, troubleshooting
procedures, and adjustment procedures are included in this manual.
When it comes to service and repair, remember that your Graham-Field
Health Products dealer knows your wheelchair best.
All information and specifications in this manual are current at the time
of printing. However, because it is Graham-Field Health Products policy
to continually improve the quality and reliability of all our products, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
