WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move
forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees.
DO NOT attempt to reach or lift objects that would
cause you to shift weight to one side of the wheelchair.
Reaching or lifting objects on the side of the wheelchair
can cause the chair to tip over sideways.
DO NOT lean over the tope of the back upholstery to
reach objects behind you, as this may cause the
wheelchair to tip over.
