point wheelchair tiedown with an integrated three-point occupant
restraint system.
2. The wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a forward-facing mode for a
48-km/h frontal impact. The wheelchair must be forward-facing during
transport.
3. In order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants, wheelchair-
mounted accessories, such as trays and respiratory equipment, should be
removed and secured separately.

loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
Anti-Tip Device
This chair design has a limited tension caster/axle link with a small caster
wheel mounted at the rearmost end. This limited tension link is intended to be
used as an aid when climbing or descending obstacles, such as low curbs. It is
also designed to be an anti-tipping device. Caution must always be used
when tipping the wheelchair backward. Though the suspension arm may
be used as an anti-tipping device, it may not prevent falls in every
circumstance. The rear tip limiter has been preset at the factory for
optimum performance and safety. Any changes to the limiter settings may
cause an unsafe condition.
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.
