Attaching hardware that is loosely secured could cause loss of stability resulting in
serious injury or damage.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure that all

WARNING
Risk of Serious Injury or Damage
Operating the wheelchair with a ground clearance of less than 75 mm (3 inches)
between the footplates and the ground/floor may cause serious injury or property
damage.
- ALWAYS maintain a minimum of 75 mm (3 inches) between the bottom of the
footplates and the ground/floor to ensure proper ground clearance while the
wheelchair is in motion. If necessary, adjust the footplates height to achieve proper
ground clearance. After footplates height adjustment, if the wheelchair dips forward
and the footplates touch the ground while in motion, please contact your dealer for
an inspection and avoid use of the wheelchair if possible.
