E.FOOTPLATES

1.At the lowest point, footplates should be at least 2" off the ground. If set too low, footrest may interfere with obstacles you may encounter during normal use.

2.Adjustment of the footplate may cause interference with the casters in some positions. This may affect your ability to steer the Mighty Lite chair.

3.Avoid putting weight on the footrest. The mobility device may tip forward (or backward if shell has been reversed).

4.Never lift this mobility device by the footrest.

F.POSITIONING BELTS

Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the child's posture.

1.Make sure the rider does not slide down in the mobility device seat. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they interfere with breathing. You should be able to slide your open hand, flat, between the belt and the rider.

2.Use positioning belts with a cooperative rider only. Make sure that you can remove the belts in an emergency.

3.NEVER Use Positioning Belts: •As a restraint.

•On a child who is comatose, agitated or is prone to seizures. •As a motor vehicle restraint.
