GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
9
WARNING! The maximum recommended incline
angles (see specifications) are tested in a controlled
environment. Your wheelchair’s ability to climb up inclines
is affected by your weight, speed and the angle you
approach the incline among other factors.
WARNING! Only drive backwards on a flat surface.
When driving backwards, operate your wheelchair at
a lower and even speed. Stop often and check to make
sure your path is clear of obstacles. To prevent tipping,
do not travel down an incline or ramp backwards.
WARNING! To prevent tipping, do not attempt to
negotiate inclines/declines and/or obstacles with
your seat in a reclined position (if recline option fitted).
WARNING! To avoid overloading the wheelchair
and potential tipping, never carry anything on your
wheelchair, footplate or seating area.
WARNING! Avoid any change of position or
movement that may change your center of gravity
while sitting on the wheelchair. This may cause your
wheelchair to tip.
WARNING! A drop-off (as small as 2 inches) at the
bottom of a slope can stop a front wheel and cause
the wheelchair to tip forward.
WARNING! Never reach or lean or shift your weight
sideways or rise up off the seat if possible.
WARNING! Never reach or lean, if you must move
forward in your seat always keep your buttocks in
contact with the backrest.
WARNING! Never try to pick up an object from the
floor by reaching down between your knees.
WARNING! Never reach or lean over the top of the
seat back. This may damage the backrest and cause
you to fall.
