1  INTRODUCTION

Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that warrant your attention are 
included in this user 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 GF 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 GF authorized distributor knows your 
wheelchair best.
Thank you for choosing an Everest & Jennings product. The Traveler L3 Plus is a manual, folding, 
lightweight wheelchair, suitable for frequent users who require a lightweight, portable wheelchair, 
fitted to their anatomy, without the need of customization or alteration to the center of gravity. 
The Traveler L3 Plus is intended for indoor and/or outdoor use.
The person performing adjustments on the Traveler L3 Plus has the responsibility of making 
certain that the user can safely operate the wheelchair with the adjustments selected. This 
person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition, the environment in which the 
wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the wheelchair will travel. We recommend the 
use of anti-tippers at all times.

  WARNING: When wheelchair is in use, anti-tippers must be installed in the downward 

position.

  WARNING: Indicates a potential hazard situation or unsafe practice that, if not avoided,
