OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
IMPORTANT:
ALWAYS ENGAGE THE WHEEL AND
CASTER LOCKS BEFORE TRANSFERRING TO OR FROM THE
CHAIR. FOR MAXIMUM STABILITY AND SAFETY, ENSURE
THAT THE CASTERS ARE LOCKED IN THE POSITION SUCH
THAT THE WHEELBASE IS AT ITS MAXIMUM, I.E.: THE
WHEELS ARE NOT TURNED IN, BENEATH THE CHAIR.
Engage the brakes on the casters by pushing down on the brake
levers. Release them by lifting up on the levers.
2.
IMPORTANT
:
Never
attempt to use your GO-Anywhere
Chair
™ without both
cross-braces
being properly installed.
Attempting to use the chair without them could cause structural
failure which could result in serious injury or death.
3.
The
armrests
are constructed of double-thick walled
aluminum tubing for the purpose of supporting the weight of users
who wish to use them to push up on.
Please be advised,
however, that the
armrests,
or their brackets, can bend,
depending upon the weight of the user and where on the
armrest
his, or her, hands are placed. For the least amount of stress on
the aluminum tubing (reducing the chances of the
armrests
, or
brackets,
being bent), it is recommended that the user push up on
the
armrest
as close to the backrest as possible. The further out
on the
armrest
weight is placed, the greater the chances are that
it may bend.
4.
Following each use, towel dry all parts of the chair.
Occasionally, remove the seat and seatback cushions and dry
both the aluminum base and the backs of the cushions to prevent
the growth of any mold or mildew.
