G. TERRAIN
1. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete,
asphalt and indoor floors and carpeting.

This may damage wheels or axles, or loosen fasteners of your chair.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

In most states, wheelchairs are not legal for use on public roads. Be alert to the
danger of motor vehicles on roads or in parking lots.
1. At night, or when lighting is poor, use reflective tape on your chair
and clothing.
2. Due to your low position, it may be hard for drivers to see you. Make eye con-
tact with drivers before you go forward. When in doubt, yield until you are
sure it is safe.

control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
