If there is a procedure or adjustment that needs to be performed on the seating system that is not in this manual, do not perform that procedure.

•The end user’s weight can materially affect traction on sloped surfaces. Great care should be taken when traversing such slopes.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice use of this product on various sloping surfaces in the presence of a qualified healthcare provider before attempting active use of this wheelchair. Other general warnings listed within this document also apply.
Wheelchairs should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (water exposure, incontinence, etc.). Electrical components damaged by corrosion should be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
