To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times maintain proper balance. Your wheelchair has been designed to 
remain upright and stable during normal daily activities as long as you DO NOT move beyond the center of gravity. DO NOT lean forward out of 
the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests.
WARNING
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice use of this product on various sloping surfaces in the 
presence of a qualified healthcare provider before attempting active use of this wheelchair. Other general warnings listed 
within this document also apply.
Be aware that carrying heavy objects on your lap while occupying the wheelchair may adversely affect the stability of the 
wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user, damage to the wheelchair and surrounding property.
This wheelchair has been designed to accommodate one individual. If more than one individual occupies the wheelchair this 
may adversely affect the stability of the wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user and passenger and damage 
to the wheelchair and surrounding property.
Many activities require the wheelchair user to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These movements will 
cause a change to the normal balance, center of gravity, and weight distribution of the wheelchair. To determine and 
establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the 
presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
