it. If they
do, your chair may move suddenly when you do not
expect it.

Minimize exposure of your chair to rain or very wet
conditions.

Dry the chair as soon as you can if it gets wet, or if
you use water to clean it.

operate your chair on a wet or slick surface.

this occurs, you may lose control of your chair or
fall.
Never operate your chair on a slope or ramp if there is
