Gendron recommends that users not be transported in vehicles while seated in the
wheelchair. We do not approve of any tie-down system for transportation of users in any
moving vehicle while seated in the wheelchair.

Do not tilt the wheelchair back when occupied. This may cause serious injury to wheelchair
user or assistant.

Do not ride over curbs or obstacles. This may cause the wheelchair to become unstable and
cause bodily harm to you or damage the wheelchair. Always use curb cuts.

Do not use your chair on a slope grade steeper than 10%. (A 10% slope grade means one
foot in elevation for every ten feet of slope length.)
