WARNINGS CONTINUED
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the
transfer distance. Turn both casters toward the object you are transferring to. R82 suggests engaging the
wheel locks, or drum brakes, to prevent the wheels from moving when transferring.
Do not operate on roads, street or highways.
Do not operate the chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain. This may damage wheels or axles, or
loosen fasteners of your chair.
Exercise caution when going up or down steep slopes or ramps.
Do not attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oily film.
Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to rust or corrode. This could cause your chair
to fail. Dry your chair as soon as possible if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.
Do not attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your chair to turn over and cause bodily
harm or damage to the chair.
Do not use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by R82 or Snug Seat.
Do not attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts.
Do not use the footplate as a platform when getting in or out of the wheelchair.
Do not stand on the wheelchair frame or seat.
The wheelchair user should always wear a seat restraint if one is recommended.
Snug Seat recommends the use of wheel locks at all times.
Do not use the chair unless it has the proper tire pressure (psi). Do not over-inflate the tires. Failure to follow
these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm.
Note: Recommended tire pressure is indicated on the sidewall of the tire.
Replacement of a pneumatic tire or tube must be performed by a qualified R82/Snug Seat dealer or qualified
technician.
Antitips must be attached at all times. Since the antitips are an option on this wheelchair, R82 strongly re-
commends ordering antitips as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
The user should always use a seat-positioning strap. Since the seat-positioning strap is an option on this
wheelchair, R82 strongly recommends ordering the seat-positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the
wheelchair user.
