Important safety, operating, and maintenance instructions that warrant 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. If you do not understand the 
warnings and instructions provided herein, contact your healthcare professional, Graham-Field Health 
Products dealer or technical representative before proceeding with the use of this product; otherwise 
personal injury or damage to your wheelchair could result.
Consult your healthcare professional and qualified 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 pre-
scribed and adjusted for your use. All procedures involved should be practiced with an attendant until 
you are thoroughly familiar with them.
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 chal-
lenges. Again, consult your professional healthcare advisors for their recommendations about safety 
methods, and never hesitate to ask for their assistance.
Your new wheelchair should receive frequent, regularly scheduled maintenance, 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 Products policy to continually improve the quality and reliability of all our 
products, we must reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
