Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that warrant your attention are included in this user 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.

Again, consult your professional medical advisors for their recommendations about safety methods, and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.

Some suggested inspection procedures, troubleshooting procedures, and adjustment procedures are included in this manual. When it comes to service and repair, remember that your Graham-Field authorized distributor knows your wheelchair best.
