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 poten- tial 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 trans- ferring to or from your wheelchair. This could cause the wheel- chair to tip or may cause personal injury or damage to your wheelchair.

WARNING: Always engage wheel locks before transferring, us- ing 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.

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 reach- ing 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 con- dition resulting in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Do not lean on this wheelchair or use it as a walk- er—these are practices which could result in loss of balance and personal injury.
