IV. WARNINGS
B. General Warnings
WARNING: Do not exceed the weight limit as listed below for the Catalyst or Spark. This is the
combined weight of user and all items carried. Exceeding the weight limit can cause damage to
your chair or increase the likelihood of a fall or tip back resulting in severe injury or death to the
user or others.
Catalyst 5 and Catalyst 5 VX: 300lbs standard weight capacity, 350lbs Heavy Duty weight
capacity.
Catalyst 4 and 4C: 250lbs standard weight capacity, 350lbs Heavy Duty weight capacity.
Spark: 165lbs standard weight capacity.
DANGER: Do not use this chair for weight training. The movement of the additional weight will
alter the center of gravity of the wheelchair increasing the likelihood of a tip-over which can cause
damage to your chair or cause severe injury or death to the user or others.
WARNING: If your wheelchair is equipped with inflatable tires, make sure the tires have been
inflated to the correct tire pressure as indicated on the side wall of the tire. Your wheelchair
provider can determine if you have inflatable tires. Using your wheelchair without properly inflated
tires can have an effect on the stability of the wheelchair causing it to tip over resulting in death or
injury to the user or others.
DANGER: Do not attempt to push your wheelchair up or down ramps or traverse across a
slope of greater than 9 degrees. This is dangerous and increases the likelihood of a fall or tip
back resulting in severe injury or death to the user or others.
WARNING: Do not attempt to push your wheelchair up an incline that is slick or coated with
ice, oil or water. This can cause an unstable situation resulting in death or injury to the user or
others.
WARNING: Do not lean over the side or back of the wheelchair to extend your reach. This may
cause you to fall out of the wheelchair or the wheelchair to tip over resulting in injury or death.
