SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.

DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.

DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing.

ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt ONLY. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt MUST be replaced immediately.

ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power off and engage the motor locks/clutches to prevent the wheels from moving before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair. Also make sure every precaution is taken to reduce the gap distance. Align both casters parallel with the object you are transferring onto.

DO NOT use with a broken or missing joystick knob.

DO NOT use if joystick does not spring back to the neutral position or becomes sticky or sluggish.

DO NOT use if joystick boot is torn or damaged.

ALWAYS check foam grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose, contact a qualified technician for instructions.

ALWAYS engage both wheel locks and reduce the gap distance before transferring to and from the wheelchair. Turn all casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto.

Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result.

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks until the power is in the off position.

Wheelchairs with TRRO or TRBKTS Only

Only use the transport brackets included with TRRO and TRBKTS for the purposes described in this manual.

Tire Pressure

DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these recommendations may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.
