C. CUSHIONS & SLING SEATS

WARNING

1.Sling seats and standard foam cushions are not designed for the relief of pressure.

2.If you suffer from pressure sores, or if you are at risk that they will occur, you may need a special seating system or a device to control your posture. Consult your doc- tor, nurse or therapist to find out if you need such a device for your well-being.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the wheelchair user or others.

D. FASTENERS

WARNING

Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-strength fasten- ers. Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair to fail.

1.ONLY use fasteners provided by an authorized supplier.

2.Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to chair parts.

3.If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you can.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the wheelchair user or others.

E. FOOTRESTS

WARNING

1.At the lowest point, footrests should be AT LEAST 2 1/2 INCHES off the ground. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you can expect to find in normal use. This may cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.

2.To Avoid A Trip or Fall When You Transfer:

a.Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in the space between the footrests.

b.Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may tip forward.

3.NEVER lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not bear the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the wheelchair user or others.

F. POWER DRIVE

WARNING

Do not install a power drive on any Guardian Easy Care wheelchair. If you do:

1.It will affect the center of balance of your chair and may cause a fall or tip-over.

2.It will alter the frame and void the warranty.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the wheelchair user or others.

G. PUSH HANDLES

WARNING

When you have a attendant, make sure that this chair has push handles.

1.Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to hold the rear of this chair, to prevent a fall or tip-over. Make sure to use push handles when you have an attendant.

2.Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the wheelchair user or others.
