WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
General Use
DO NOT tip the transport chair without assistance. DO NOT lean the transport chair back
since this can cause the transport chair to tip over. If trying to reach objects, reach back
only as far as your arm will extend without altering your seating position.
Any person assisting the rider in maneuvering or lifting of the transport chair must have
sufficient strength and be able to see obstacles in the path of travel. When learning a new
assistance technique, have an experienced assistant help you before attempting it alone.
Remember to use good body mechanics.
Contact with water or excess moisture may cause the non-aluminum transport chairs to rust
or corrode. DO NOT use the transport chair in a shower, pool or other body of water. Avoid
excess moisture (example: do not leave the transport chair in a damp bathroom while taking
a shower). Dry the transport chair immediately if exposed to moisture.
When cleaning the hand grips, use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water.
Ensure the hand grips are dry before use. Use of soap or ammonia- based cleaning
solutions may result in the hand grips sliding off.
If the transport chair is exposed to extreme temperatures, high humidity and/or becomes
wet, check the hand grips to ensure they are not loose and do not twist on the handle.
Avoid storing or using the transport chair near open flames or combustible products.
DO NOT operate, maintain, or adjust the transport chair without reading and understanding
all instructions in the manual.
DO NOT adjust the footrests any closer than 2 ½ inches from the floor.
DO NOT modify the transport chair. Examples: drilling holes, grinding, welding parts, using
non-authorized / non-approved parts. Such modifications may change the transport chair’s
structure and center of balance, which may increase the risk of serious injury to the user
and void the warranty.
Before EACH Use
Make sure the transport chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly.
Check for noise, vibration, or any change in use. Changes may indicate loose parts or
transport chair damage.
Check to ensure wheel locks are in good working order.
Make sure hand grips are not loose and cannot be moved or twisted.
Make sure the seatback is locked in the upright position.
Have any problem found repaired promptly with authorized parts.
