SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

DO NOT stand on the front riggings, otherwise damage may occur. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates on the front riggings are in the upward position or moved out of the way.

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt must be replaced immediately.

Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure prior to use when an assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. Do not attempt to move the wheelchair by using the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure or have deteriorated.

When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders.

If wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or Below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips do not twist on wheelchair handle - otherwise damage or injury may occur.

DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat frame rails are fully seated into the side frame H-blocks.

Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off switch on the joystick is in the Off position.

Avoid storage or use near external flame or combustible products.

Tire Pressure

DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.).

DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions can cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.

Electrical Accessories

EXTREME care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits and other combustible materials. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in the use of oxygen.

Batteries

The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. ProBasics strongly recommends their use as the power source for this unit.
