B. General Warnings
WARNING: Do not exceed the max weight capacity of 300 pounds on the standard frame or
400 pounds on a heavy duty frame. Reference serial number label for chair max capacity. This
is the combined weight of user and all items carried. Exceeding the weight limit can cause
damage to your chair or increase the likelihood of a fall or tip back resulting in severe injury or
death to the user or others.
DANGER: Do not use this chair for weight training. The movement of the additional weight will
alter the center of gravity of the wheelchair increasing the likelihood of a tip-over which can cause
damage to your chair or cause severe injury or death to the user or others.
WARNING: If your wheelchair is equipped with inflatable tires, make sure the tires have been
inflated to the correct tire pressure as indicated on the side wall of the tire. Your wheelchair
provider can determine if you have inflatable tires. In many cases the wheel locks will not function
properly with under-inflated tires. Using your wheelchair without properly inflated tires can have an
affect on the stability of the wheelchair causing it to tip over resulting in death or injury to the user.
DANGER: Do not attempt to push your wheelchair up or down ramps or traverse across a
slope of greater than 9 degrees. This is dangerous and increases the likelihood of a fall or tip
back resulting in severe injury or death to the user or others.

ice, oil or water. This can cause an unstable situation resulting in death or injury to the user or
others.
WARNING: Do not lean over the side or back of the wheelchair to extend your reach. This may
cause you to fall out of the wheelchair or the wheelchair to tip over resulting in injury or death.
DANGER: Do not attempt to the lift the wheelchair by holding on to removable parts such as
the arms or footrests. Only lift the wheelchair by holding on to the frame. This may cause a fall or
loss of control and result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the bolts and hardware that attaches various components to-
gether on the frame. This could cause serious damage and affect the safety and durability of the
wheelchair.
