User / Attendant Stability Warnings.....
WARnInG
Transfer
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good
balance and agility.
Be aware that there is a point during every transfer when
the wheelchair seat is not below you.
To Avoid A fall:
•
Work with your health care advisor to learn safe
methods.
•
Learn how to position your body and how to support
yourself during a transfer.
•
Have someone help you until you know how to do a
safe transfer on your own.
•
Lock the rear wheels before you transfer. This keeps
the rear wheels from rolling. This may NOT keep your
chair from sliding away from you or tipping.
•
Make sure to keep pneumatic tires properly inflated.
Low tire pressure may allow the rear wheel locks to
slip.
•
Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you
are transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.
•
Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as
possible.
•
If you can, remove or swing footrests out of the way.
•
Make sure your feet do not catch in the space
between the footrests.
•
Avoid putting weight on the footrests as this may
cause the chair to tip.
•
Make sure armrests are out of the way and do not
interfere.
•
Transfer as far back onto the seat surface as you can.
This will reduce the risk that the chair will tip or move
away from you.

Curbs & Steps
•
Persons who help you should read and follow the
instructions provided within this Owners Manual.
•
Do not try to climb or descend a curb or step alone.
•
Unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way, so
they do not interfere.
•
Do not try to climb a high curb or step UNLESS you
have help. Doing so may cause your chair to exceed its
balance point and tip over.
•
Go straight up and straight down a curb or step. If
you climb or descend at an angle, a fall or tip-over is
likely.
•
Be aware that the impact of dropping down from a
curb or step can damage your chair or loosen
fasteners.
•
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 rider or others.

•
Never place hands, feet or foreign objects into the tilt
mechanism.
