Operating Instructions
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching
and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified health
professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose and/or
worn, replace immediately.
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 38°C or below 0°C), high
humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure hand grips DO NOT twist on the
wheelchair handle—otherwise damage or injury may occur.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat as this may
tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees as this may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this
may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching, as
this may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT tilt the wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors—serious injury may
occur.
NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks. Wheel locks are
not brakes.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be
taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both castors parallel to the object you are
transferring onto. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS lock both
hand brakes (locks) before transferring to and from the wheelchair.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline which has a film of water, ice or oil on
it.
DO NOT attempt to ride over kerbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your
wheelchair to tip, causing bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair.
DO NOT over tighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to
the frame tubing.
