WARNING! Any attempt to climb or descend a slope steeper than 5° (8.7%) may put your
wheelchair in an unstable position and cause it to tip over.
Braking Information
To stop the wheelchair, apply pressure to both the rear wheel foot brakes and the rear caregiver
handbrakes (if applicable) until the wheelchair comes to a complete stop.
Manual Wheel Locks & Hand Brake
Your wheelchair is equipped with two manual rear wheel brakes which can lock into place, one
mounted on each rear wheel, and the rear caregiver handbrakes (if applicable), mounted onto the
rear handles. Both sets of brakes can lock into place.
The manual wheel locks help prevent your wheelchair from moving when parked. After you bring
your wheelchair to a complete stop, engage both manual rear wheel locks. If you have any
questions about the operation of your manual wheel locks, contact your authorized provider.
NOTE: The manufacturer does not recommend that you remain parked on an incline for a long
period of time as your wheelchair may slide or the manual wheel locks may become disengaged
after extended use.
Outdoor Driving Surfaces
Your wheelchair is designed to provide optimum stability under normal driving conditions, which
are dry, level surfaces composed of concrete, blacktop, or asphalt. However, the manufacturer
recognizes that there will be times when you will encounter other surface types. For this reason,
your wheelchair is designed to perform admirably on packed soil, grass, and gravel. Feel free to
use your wheelchair safely on flat lawns and in park areas.
■
Avoid driving on uneven terrain and/or soft surfaces.

Avoid loosely packed gravel and sand.

■
Do not use your wheelchair in any water mass, fresh water, or saltwater.
■
