III. NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
F. General Warnings and Cautions
WARNING: Limits refer to combined weight in pounds of user and all items carried. Do not
exceed weight limit of chair. Exceeding weight limit may damage your chair or may
increase your risk of falling or tipping over. A tip-over or fall could result in serious injury or
death.
•
Do not use chair for weight training. The movement of the additional weight alters
the chair’s center of gravity increasing your risk of tipping over. A tip-over could
result in damage to your chair or in serious injury or death.
•
Keep tires inflated to correct tire pressure. Using a chair without properly inflated
tires may affect its stability, increasing your risk of tipping over. A tip-over could
result in damage to your chair or in serious injury or death to you or others. Correct
tire pressure is indicated on the side wall of the tire. Your wheelchair provider can
determine if your tires are inflatable if you are unsure.
•
Avoid ramps or slopes inclined more than 9 degrees. Steep slopes increase your
risk of falling or tipping over. A tip-over or fall could result in damage to your chair
or in serious injury or death to you or others. Do not use chair on ramps or slopes
tilted more than 9 degrees (about 2 inches rise/drop per linear-foot): neither
up/down nor across.
•
Avoid inclined surfaces slick or coated with ice, oil or water. Slippery inclines could
result in an inability to control the wheelchair on the surface and result in a tip-over
or fall. A tip-over or fall could result in damage to your chair or in serious injury or
death.
•
Avoid leaning over the side or back of your wheelchair to extend your reach.
Leaning over chair could change its center of gravity and cause an unstable
situation resulting in a fall or tip-over. A tip-over or fall could result in damage to
your chair or in serious injury or death.
•
Do not lift wheelchair by it’s removable parts while occupied. Lifting a wheelchair by
removable parts while occupied could cause user to fall or lose control. A fall or
loss of control could result in damage to your chair or in serious injury or death.
•
Packaging material must be kept out of the reach of children. Improper handling of
packaging materials and the neglect of the duty to supervise children could result in
suffocation and serious injury or death.
•
Do not expose the chair and components to any extreme temperatures (e.g.
sunlight, sauna, extreme cold). Hypothermia or burns through contact with the chair
and components can occur and/or failure of components.
CAUTION: Avoid overtightening bolts and hardware that attach components to the frame.
Overtightening could cause damage to the chair; affecting its durability and performance.
Damage to the chair could result in injury to the user.
NOTE: Information about tightening hardware can be found in the maintenance section of
this manual. If you are unsure how to properly tighten bolts or hardware or lack the tools
necessary, consult your authorized supplier.
