WARNING: Do not attempt inclines without anti-tippers
installed. Do not attempt any incline or decline
greater than six degrees (10% grade, or one foot
of rise or fall per ten feet of ramp length).
WARNING: This wheelchair does not offer seating or occu-
pant restraint equivalent to the seat provided in
a motor vehicle! To increase your safety while
traveling in a motor vehicle, always transfer to
the vehicle seat and use the restraint provided
by the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not tie down or attach anything to the
wheels. This could cause tipping and possibly
result in injury or damage to the wheelchair.
WARNING: The footplates' lowest point should clear the
ground by at least 2-1/2 inches, to permit proper
clearance of potential obstruction.
WARNING: Doing a "wheelie" (tilting the wheelchair back-
ward until it reaches its balance point) is danger-
ous and could result in personal injury to the
user.
WARNING: Do not stand or step on the footplates while
transferring to or from your wheelchair. This
could cause the wheelchair to tip or may cause
personal injury or damage to your wheelchair.
WARNING: Always engage wheel locks before transferring,
using a wheelchair lift or using an elevator.
WARNING: Ensure that wheelchair is on a stable, level sur-
face and engage wheel locks before and during
transfer.
WARNING: Operate only with anti-tippers in place when
leaning or tipping.
