Safety warnings and user tips

WARNING

WARNING

EnvironmentalTerrain

Use extra care if you must ride your chair on a wet or slick surface. If in doubt ask for help.

Contact with water or excess moisture may cause your chair to rust or corrode. This could cause your chair to fail.

Do not use your chair in a shower, pool or other body of water. The chair tubing and other parts are not water tight and may rust or corrode from the inside.

Avoid excess moisture (e.g. do not leave your chair in a damp bathroom while taking a shower).

Dry your chair as soon as possible if it gets wet, or if you use water to clean it.

Don’t store your chair in direct sunlight.

WARNING

Weight Limit

1.The user plus items carried should never exceed a total weight of 127kg (100kg for seat riser).

2.Never use this chair for weight training if the total weight (user plus additional weights) exceeds 127kg (100kg for seat riser).

3.Exceeding the weight limit is likely to damage the seat, frame or fasteners, and may cause severe injury to you or others from chair failure.

4.Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.

Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and indoor floors and carpeting.

Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain. This may damage wheels or axles, loosen fasteners or could make your chair unstable.

Be aware of your terrain and look ahead for any possible hazards.

Riding over drains or grids could cause the wheelchair castors or wheels to become lodged, causing the chair to come to a sudden stop.

Ensure that there are no objects in your path that could possibly become lodged in your chair mechanism or in the spokes of the rear wheels. This could cause the chair to come to a sudden stop.

Do not ride over anything that could cause a puncture in the pneumatic wheels or castors

Routine service

Like most things in life a little care and attention goes a long way and your chair is no exception. The recommended service interval is one year.
