SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
DO NOT leave the power button On when entering or exiting your wheelchair.
If the wheelchair dips forward and the footplates touch the ground while the wheelchair is in motion, please contact your dealer for an inspection and avoid use of the power wheelchair if possible. Otherwise the user could be injured.
While the wheelchair is moving, minimum ground clearance for the front rigging is three inches. If the wheelchair is not moving, the front rigging MUST maintain a minimum of one inch ground clearance ‐ otherwise personal injury and damage may result.
DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles greater than 3 inches. 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 nearly 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.
TDX SI‐HD Only ‐ DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 6°.
TDX SI Only ‐ 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.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.
