F. FOOTRESTS
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be
at least 2
1
/
2
inches
off the ground.
If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you can expect to find in
normal use.This may cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. 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.
Never
lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not bear
the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the
main frame.
G. MOTOR LOCKS
1. Do not engage or disengage motor locks
unless
power to the chair is
off.
2. Be aware that the chair
will not have brakes
when motor locks are in the
free-wheel position.
3. Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control when motor
locks are disengaged.
H. ON/OFF SWITCH
1.
Never
use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair
except
in an emergency.
This will result in an
abrupt
stop, and may cause you to fall.
2. To slow your chair to a stop, return the joystick to neutral.
I. PNEUMATIC TIRES
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair easier to use.
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires is under- or over-inflated. Check weekly
for proper inflation level, as listed on the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to veer to one side and result in a
loss of control.
3. An over-inflated tire may burst.
4.
Never
use a gas station air pump to inflate a tire. Such pumps provide air at
high volume,
and could cause the tire to burst.To prevent tire damage:
• Use a hand pump (or a
low volume
air pump) to inflate tires.
• Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
