Safety requires the constant attention of the wheelchair user and the attendant. It is extremely important to learn and always use safe methods of performing basic daily activities. Always consult your healthcare professional to determine those methods most suitable for your individual abilities.

Protect yourself and your wheelchair by having your Traveler HTC serviced regularly. Whenever any part of your Traveler HTC is not functioning properly, contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor immediately, as a hazardous situation could result, causing personal injury or damage to your wheelchair. ONLY EXCELLENT CONDITION IS ACCEPTABLE WHERE SAFETY IS CONCERNED. Periodic inspection, adjustment, and replacement of worn parts will provide many years of superb performance.
