1. The user plus items carried should
never exceed a total weight of 127kg.
2. Never use this chair for weight
training if the total weight (user plus
additional weights) exceeds 127kg.
3. Exceeding the weight limit is likely to
damage the seat, frame or fasteners,
and may cause severe injury to you or
others from chair failure.

the warranty.
WARNING
Environmental
Use extra care if you must ride your chair
on a wet or slick surface. If in doubt ask
for help.
Contact with water or excess moisture
may cause your chair to rust or corrode.
This could cause your chair to fail.
Do not use your chair in a shower, pool
or other body of water. The chair tubing
and other parts are not water tight and
may rust or corrode from the inside.
Avoid excess moisture (e.g. do not leave
your chair in a damp bathroom while
taking a shower).
Dry your chair as soon as possible if it
gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.
Don’t store your chair in direct sunlight.
WARNING
Terrain
Your chair is designed for use on firm,
even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt
and indoor floors and carpeting.
Do not operate your chair in sand,
loose soil or over rough terrain. This
may damage wheels or axles, loosen
fasteners or could make your chair
unstable.
Be aware of your terrain and look ahead
for any possible hazards.
Riding over drains or grids could cause
the wheelchair castors or wheels to
become lodged, causing the chair to
come to a sudden stop.
Ensure that there are no objects in your
path that could possibly become lodged
in your chair mechanism or in the spokes
of the rear wheels. This could cause the
chair to come to a sudden stop.
Do not ride over anything that could
cause a puncture in the pneumatic
wheels or castors
Routine service
Like most things in life a little care and
attention goes a long way and your
chair is no exception. The recommended
service interval is one year.
