VII. WARNINGS: COMPONENTS AND OPTIONS
F . PNEUMATIC TIRES
WARNING
1.
2.
Do not use this chair if any of the tires are under- or over-inflated.
Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on the tire side-
wall.
Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that side
to slip and allow the wheel to turn when you do not expect it.
3. Low pressure in any of the tires may cause the chair to veer to
one side resulting in a loss of control.
4. Over-inflated tires may burst.
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.
G . POSITIONING BELTS (OPTIONAL)
WARNING
Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the rider’s posture. Improper
use of these belts may cause severe injury to or death to the rider.
1. Make sure the rider does not slide down in the wheelchair seat. If
this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or suffocate
due to pressure from the belts.
2. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they
interfere with breathing. You should be able to slide your open
hand, flat, between the belt and the rider.
3. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep the rider from
sliding down in the seat. Consult with the rider’s doctor, nurse or
therapist to find out if the rider needs such a device.
4. Use positioning belts only with a rider who can cooperate. Make
sure the rider can easily remove the belts in an emergency.
5. NEVER Use Positioning Belts:
a. As a patient restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.
b. On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
c. As a motor vehicle restraint. In an accident or sudden stop
the rider may be thrown from the chair. Wheelchair seat
belts will not prevent this, and further injury may result from
the belts or straps.
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.
H . PUSH HANDLES (OPTIONAL)
WARNING
When you have an attendant, make sure that this chair has push handles.
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to hold the
rear of this chair, to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
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.
I . QUICK-RELEASE AXLES
WARNING
1. Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure that both quick-release
rear axles are locked.
2. An axle is not locked until the quick-release button pops out fully.
3. An unlocked axle may come off during use, resulting in a fall, tip-
over or loss of control and cause severe injury to the rider or
others.
4. Quick-Release Axles should be periodically cleaned and inspected
for function and signs of wear or bending. Replace as necessary.
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.

Recommended Tire Pressures
All Schwalbe tires are manufactured in a facility that processes latex.
Schwalbe Marathon Plus Evolution, Schwalbe Right R un Plus, and
Schwalbe SpeedRun tires contain a latex strip sealed inside tire
(please maintain tire per recommendations to avoid contact).
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair
easier to use.
