E&J EJ777-1 manual Weight distribution, and ensure that it is properly adjusted

Page 6

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

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 transport chair 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 transport chair. This could cause the transport chair to tip, or could cause personal injury or damage to your transport chair.

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

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

WARNING: Do not lean over the top of the transport chair back. This could cause the transport chair 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 transport chair.

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

WARNING: We recommend the use of anti-tippers at all times to prevent the trans- port chair from tipping backward and causing injury. To purchase anti-tip- pers, please contact your Graham-Field dealer.

WARNING: Do not lean on the transport chair or use it as a walker—these are prac- tices which could result in loss of balance and personal injury.

WARNING: Do not use your transport chair on stairs or escalators.

WARNING: Use the transport chair's positioning belt at all times to maintain proper

weight distribution, and ensure that it is properly adjusted.

WARNING: Wheel locks are not brakes. Do not use the wheel locks to slow down the transport chair, or while the transport chair is moving. Wheel locks are only intended to keep the transport chair in place when it is at a complete stop.

WARNING: GF Health Products, Inc. specifically disclaims responsibility for any per- sonal injury or property damage which may occur during any use which does not comply with federal, state, or local laws or ordinances.
