„Move the leg rests aside; this will help to keep your feet from getting caught on the front rigging during the transfer.

„Reduce the distance between your wheelchair and the object you are transferring onto.

WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the wheelchair seat to prevent the wheelchair from tipping forward during transfer.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the wheelchair armrests and do not use the armrests for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause the wheelchair to tip, resulting in a fall from the wheelchair and personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the manual wheel locks and do not use the manual wheel locks for weight bearing purposes, such as transfers. Such use may cause equipment damage or personal injury.

WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the front riggings. Such use may cause the wheelchair to tip.

WARNING! Ensure legs, hands, and clothing are clear of the wheel lock levers when attempting to transfer.

Prescription Drugs/Physical Limitations

Users must exercise care and common sense when operating a wheelchair. This includes awareness of safety issues when taking prescribed or over-the-counter drugs or when the user has specific physical limitations.

WARNING! Consult your physician if you are taking prescribed or over-the-counter medication or if you have certain physical limitations. Some medications and limitations may impair your ability to operate your wheelchair in a safe manner.

Alcohol/Smoking

The wheelchair user must exercise care and common sense when operating his/her wheelchair. This includes awareness of safety issues while under the influence of alcohol or while smoking.

WARNING! Do not operate your wheelchair while you are under the influence of alcohol, as this may impair your ability to operate your wheelchair in a safe manner.

WARNING! Pride strongly recommends that you do not smoke cigarettes while seated in your wheelchair, although the wheelchair has passed the necessary testing requirements for cigarette smoking. You must adhere to the following safety guidelines if you decide to smoke cigarettes while seated in your wheelchair.

„Do not leave lit cigarettes unattended.

„Keep ashtrays a safe distance from the seat cushions.

„Always make sure cigarettes are completely extinguished before disposal.

Flammability Precautions

WARNING! Even though the plastics on your wheelchair have passed the applicable flammability standards, Pride recommends that you do not expose your wheelchair to open flames.

WARNING! Replace worn or damaged upholstery immediately to reduce the risk of fire hazard.

WARNING! Be aware that washing of upholstered items may reduce the resistance to flammability of the fabric.

WARNING! Verify with the manufacturer that any after-market seating systems used in conjunction with your wheelchair have passed the applicable flammability standards.
