2 Important safety precautions

Important safety precautions: Always follow these safety precautions when using your wheelchair. Failure to do so could result in personal injury to you or others or damage to your wheelchair.

Safety requires the constant attention of the wheelchair user and the attendant. It is extremely important to learn and always use safe methods of performing basic daily activities. Always consult your healthcare pro- fessional to determine those methods most suitable for your individual abilities.

Protect yourself and your wheelchair by having your Traveler SE serviced regularly. Whenever any part of your Traveler SE is not functioning prop- erly, contact your Graham-Field dealer immediately, as a hazardous situ- ation could result, causing personal injury or damage to your wheelchair.

ONLY EXCELLENT CONDITION IS ACCEPTABLE WHERE SAFETY IS CONCERNED. Periodic inspection, adjustment, and replacement of worn parts will provide many years of superb performance.
