SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Operation Information

Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the wheelchair and to surrounding property.

After the wheelchair has been set-up/adjusted, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to the specifications entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair Off immediately and reenter set-up specifications. Repeat this section until the wheelchair performs to specifications.

DO NOT leave the power button On when entering or exiting your wheelchair.

DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles greater than 3 inches for TDX 5 and TDX 4 or greater than 2 inches for TDX 3. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair. ALWAYS stop before climbing an obstacle. Approach slowly until casters contact the obstacle. Apply power and the action of the SureStep feature will lift the casters over the obstacle. Weight is transferred to the drive wheels providing traction and motor strength to power the wheelchair over the obstacle.

DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.

DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with water, ice or oil film.

DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.

DO determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in your seat.

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching between your knees.

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.

ALWAYS shift your weight in the direction you are turning. DO NOT shift your weight in the opposite direction of the turn. Shifting your weight in the opposite direction of the turn may cause the inside drive wheel to lose traction and the wheelchair to tip over.

DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair and/or seating system (if any) may tip over.

DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.

DO NOT use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position or swing footrests towards the outside of the wheelchair.

NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair unattended on an incline.
