GENERAL WARNINGS
Refer to A Note About Drive Lock-Out on page 23 BEFORE performing this
procedure.
Pinch points may occur when returning the seat from any tilted position to the full
upright position or when lowering the elevating seat. Make sure the hands and body
of both the occupant and attendants/bystanders are clear of all pinch points before
returning the seat to the full upright position or lowering the elevating seat.
NEVER operate the wheelchair or elevate/lower the seat while the back is in any
tilted/reclined/back angle position over 20° relative to the vertical position. If the
drive lock-out does not stop the wheelchair from operating or the seat from
elevating/lowering in a tilt/recline/back angle position over 20° relative to the
vertical position, DO NOT operate the wheelchair or elevate/lower the seat. DO
NOT attempt to adjust the drive lock-out. Have the wheelchair serviced by a
qualified technician.
Use caution when driving in a tilted, reclined or elevated position.
DO NOT operate the seating system while on an incline.
DO NOT operate seating system while the wheelchair is moving.
DO NOT operate the tilt or elevate function near or under a fixed object such as a
table or desk.
The elevating seat option is equipped with a speed reduction safety mechanism.
While the seat is in an elevated position, the safety feature slows the speed of the
wheelchair to 20% of its maximum speed (not to exceed the programmed speed). If
the wheelchair operates at maximum speed while in an elevated position, DO NOT
operate the wheelchair. Have the wheelchair serviced immediately by a qualified
technician.

recline/elevate functions. DO NOT USE any other actuator controls. Such devices
may result in excess heating and cause damage to the actuator and associated
wiring and could cause a fire, death, physical injury or property damage. If such
