»

I-Go specifically disclaims responsibility for any injuries or property damage 
which may occur during use when the recommendations and warnings  
described in this user manual are not followed. The Outlander is a very safe  
and stable product when used correctly, however, it is possible that if you use 
the wheelchair incorrectly dangerous situations may occur.

Protect your wheelchair by checking it regularly. When a part of your I-Go  
Outlander doesn’t function correctly, a dangerous situation could occur.  
Therefore, you must keep your wheelchair in perfect condition, to ensure safe 
use. Periodic inspection, and the correct adjustment and replacement of broken 
or worn parts in quick time will result in use for years without any problems.
