READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING YOUR

WHEELCHAIR

I Introduction

Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that war- rant your attention are included in this owner's manual. Read the entire manual carefully before operating your new wheelchair, and refer to it as often as necessary to help maintain good performance standards.

Consult your healthcare professional and Graham-Field Health Products dealer for assistance in developing and learning safe and effective techniques for performing your daily activities according to your individual physical abilities and needs, and to make certain that your wheelchair is properly prescribed and adjusted for your use.

The safety precautions in this manual are general warnings intended to be used only as basic guidelines. You may find it necessary to develop your own methods for safely solving frequently encountered challenges. Again, consult your professional medical advisors for their recommendations about safety methods, and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.

Your wheelchair should receive frequent, regularly scheduled main- tenance, including an inspection of the mechanical parts, to ensure proper operation. Some suggested inspection procedures, trouble- shooting procedures, and adjustment procedures are included in this manual. When it comes to service and repair, remember that your Graham-Field Health Products dealer knows your wheelchair best.

All information and specifications in this manual are current at the time of printing. However, because it is Graham-Field Health Prod- ucts policy to continually improve the quality and reliability of all our products, we reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
