Cautions

STREET USE - In most states, it is illegal for use on public roads. Do not operate this wheelchair on roadways, streets or any surfaces with vehicular traffic.

MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY - Wheelchair conforms to the requirements of ANSI/RESNA WC/VoL.1-Section 19. The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward facing mode and it must be forward facing during transport. Use with approved vehicle-installed restraining system that includes both pelvic and shoulder belts. This reduces the possibility of head and chest impacts with vehicle components. Postural supports and belts may be used in a moving vehicle but should not be relied upon to replace vehicle-installed restraining system that have been designed and tested for this purpose. HEADREST EXTENSION AND FIVE-POINT HARNESS MUST BE USED TO CONFORM TO ABOVE REQUIREMENTS.

STABILITY - Wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long as center of gravity is maintained. Care must be taken while performing activities that shift your center of gravity in the chair. Never reach so far that it requires shifting your body in the seat or leaning over out of the chair. When reaching for objects that require change of body position, posture or weight distribution, be certain front casters are positioned in a forward position and engage wheel locks. This will extend the wheel base and stabilize the chair. Do not lean over or apply weight to the top of the wheelchair back as it can increase the risk a fall or tip-over. When trying to extend arms over back, only reach as far as your arm can extend without having to alter your seating position.

RAMPS AND SLOPES - Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength before attempting to go up a ramp. Correct techniques on ramp negotiation should be shown to you by a qualified professional. Do not use your chair on a slope steeper than 10% without assistance. Do not turn or change direction on a slope and always stay in the center of the ramp. If you must stop on an incline, make certain to avoid sudden, abrupt movement when you resume movement. Never use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair. This could result in your chair veering out of control.
