and tip forward.

To avoid a trip or fall when you transfer:
• Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught
in the space between the footrests.
• Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair
may tip forward.
• Remove or swing the footrests out of the way, if
possible.
3. The footrest should always be in the down position
when operating the chair.

PROHIBITED!
Never lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and
