1 INTRODUCTION
Thank you for choosing a Gendron product. We at Graham-Field wish to assure you of our continuing
commitment to provide innovation and quality in our products. Important safety, operating, and
maintenance instructions that warrant your attention are included in this user manual. Read this
entire manual carefully before operating your new transport wheelchair, keep it handy for future
reference, and refer to it as often as necessary to help maintain good performance standards.
Consult your healthcare professional and GF Health Products, Inc. ("Graham-Field") 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 transport 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.
The transport 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 Graham-Field authorized distributor
knows your transport wheelchair best.
The person performing adjustments on the MRI Transport Wheelchair has the responsibility of
making certain that the user can safely operate the transport wheelchair with the adjustments
selected. This person must evaluate the user's ability, weight, physical condition, the environment
in which the transport wheelchair will be used, and the terrain over which the transport
wheelchair will travel. Anti-tippers are standard; we recommend their use at all times.
