WARNING: This wheelchair does not offer seating or occupant restraint equivalent to the seat provided in a motor vehicle! To increase your safety while traveling in a motor vehicle, always transfer to the vehicle seat and use the restraint provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

WARNING: Do not tie down or attach anything to the wheels. This could cause tipping and possibly result in injury or damage to the wheelchair.

WARNING: The footplates' lowest point should clear the ground by at least 2 1/2 inches, to permit proper clearance of potential obstruction.

WARNING: Doing a "wheelie" (tilting the wheelchair backward until it reaches its balance point) is dangerous and could result in personal injury to the user.

WARNING: Do not stand or step on the footplates while transferring to or from your wheelchair. This could cause the wheelchair to tip or may cause personal injury or damage to your wheelchair.

WARNING: Do not place your hands between seat rail and side panel.

WARNING: Always engage wheel locks before transferring, using a wheelchair lift or using an elevator.

WARNING: Ensure that wheelchair is on a stable, level surface and engage wheel locks before and during transfer.

WARNING: Operate only with anti-tippers in place when leaning or tipping. When in use, anti-tippers must be installed in the downward position.

WARNING: Do not lean over the top of the wheelchair back. This could cause the wheelchair to tip over.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping before leaning or reaching forward, sit back in the seat and rotate casters fully toward front of wheelchair.

WARNING: Unauthorized modification or the use of non-Everest & Jennings replacement parts could change the structure of the wheelchair, void the warranty, and create a hazardous condition resulting in serious personal injury.
