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.
G. POWER DRIVE
Do not install a power drive on this product.
H. WHEEL LOCKS
Never engage wheel locks to slow or stop this product when it is moving. To keep the
rear wheels from rolling, always engage both rear wheel locks when you transfer your
child to or from this mobility device. Make sure lock arms embed in tires at least 1/8"
when locked.
I. MODIFIED SEATING SYSTEMS
Do not change the seating system of your chair UNLESS you consult your health care
professional.
J. UPHOLSTERY FABRIC
Replace worn or torn seating cover fabrics as soon as you can, and be aware that
laundering or excess moisture will reduce flame retardation of the fabric.
