TiLite manufactures a wide variety of wheelchairs to meet the varied needs of wheelchair users. However, TiLite is not a healthcare advisor and does not
know the needs and medical condition(s) of each user. The selection of a wheelchair, how it is adjusted, types of options, and accessories used is the
responsibility of the user and a qualified medical professional.
The choice of a wheelchair and setup for safety depends on the following:
• Disability, strength, balance and coordination of the user;
• Hazards of daily use (living and working environment and other places a user is likely to visit);
• Options needed for safety and comfort (anti-tips, positioning belts or other special seating systems, etc.).
Failure to follow all considerations and safety information may result in serious bodily injury.
