F. FOOTRESTS

1.At the lowest point, footrests should be at least 21/ inches off the ground. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you2 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:

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

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

•Remove or swing the footrests out of the way, if possible.

3.lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and will not bear Ntheverweight of this chair. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.

G. MOTOR LOCKS

1.Do not engage or disengage motor locks unless power to the chair is off.

2.Be aware that the chair will not have brakes when motor locks are in the free-wheel position.

3.Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control when motor locks are disengaged.

H. ON/OFF SWITCH

1.Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair except in an emergency. This will result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to fall.

2.To slow your chair to a stop, return the joystick to neutral.

I. PNEUMATIC TIRES

Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your chair easier to use.

1. Do not use this chair if any of the tires is under- or over-inflated. Check weekly for proper inflation level, as listed on the tire sidewall.

2. Low pressure in a tire may cause the chair to veer to one side and result in a loss of control.

3. An over-inflated tire may burst.

4. Never use a gas station air pump to inflate a tire. Such pumps provide air at

high volume, and could cause the tire to burst.To prevent tire damage:

• Use a hand pump (or a low volume air pump) to inflate tires.

• Use a tire gauge to check pressure.
