3

1  INTRODUCTION

Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that 
warrant your attention are included in this user manual. Read this 
entire manual carefully before operating your new wheelchair, keep 
it handy for future reference, and refer to it as often as necessary to 
help maintain good performance standards.

Consult your healthcare professional and GF Health Products, Inc. 
("Graham-Field") authorized distributor 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 recommendations about safety methods, and never hesitate to 
ask for their assistance.

Your wheelchair should receive frequent, regularly scheduled 
maintenance, 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 authorized distributor knows your wheelchair 
best.

Thank you for choosing an Everest & Jennings product. We at 
Graham-Field wish to assure you of our continuing commitment to 
provide innovation and quality in our products. The Paramount XD 
is a manual folding wheelchair suitable for frequent users who 
require a portable wheelchair, fitted to their anatomy, without the 
need of customization or alteration to the center of gravity. The 
Paramount XD, intended for indoor and / or outdoor use, has a 
maximum weight capacity of 650 lb (295 kg).
