Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that war-
rant your attention are included in this owner's manual. Read the
entire manual carefully before operating your new wheelchair, and
refer to it as often as necessary to help maintain good performance
standards.
Consult your healthcare professional and Graham-Field Health
Products dealer for assistance in developing and learning safe and
effective techniques for performing your daily activities according to
your individual physical abilities and needs, and to make certain that
your wheelchair is properly prescribed and adjusted for your use.
The safety precautions in this manual are general warnings intended
to be used only as basic guidelines. You may find it necessary to
develop your own methods for safely solving frequently encountered
challenges. Again, consult your professional medical advisors for
their recommendations about safety methods, and never hesitate to
ask for their assistance.
Your wheelchair should receive frequent, regularly scheduled main-
tenance, including an inspection of the mechanical parts, to ensure
proper operation. Some suggested inspection procedures, trouble-
shooting procedures, and adjustment procedures are included in this
manual. When it comes to service and repair, remember that your
Graham-Field Health Products dealer knows your wheelchair best.
All information and specifications in this manual are current at the
time of printing. However, because it is Graham-Field Health Prod-
ucts policy to continually improve the quality and reliability of all our
products, we reserve the right to make changes at any time without
notice.
