REACHING, LEANING, BENDING AND BENDING - FORWARD
Position the rear casters so that they are extended as far rearward as possible and engage
motor locks/clutches. DO NOT LEAN FORWARD OF THE ARMRESTS.
REACHING, BENDING - BACKWARDS
WARNING
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity
and may cause you to tip over.
Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Point rear casters rearward
to create the longest possible wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your arm will extend
without changing your sitting position.
WARNING:
For units with the optional Power Seat, only drive the wheelchair
when the power seat is in the lowest position to avoid tipping and serious injury. If
you are unable to follow this instruction, consult your dealer for alternatives.
Persons having disabilities which limit their ability to remain erect without assistance,
(stroke patients, severe muscular diseases, etc.) should carefully evaluate whether they
should operate a wheelchair at all. If they decide, with the advise of their physician or
another advisor, that they are capable of safely operating a wheelchair, they should con-
sider the use of a bicycle helmet or pads when operating a wheelchair. These articles
would help protect them should they find themselves in a hazardous situation where they
could tip over or fall because of their lack of balance.
DIFFERENT STYLES OF POWER WHEELCHAIRS HAVE DIFFERENT INCLINE
CLIMBING ABILITIES. CAREFULLY STUDY THE CHART TO SEE THE CORRECT
SPECIFICATIONS FOR YOUR UNIT. DO NOT EXCEED THE SPECIFICATIONS OF
THE POWER WHEELCHAIR STYLE YOU PURCHASED!
