VI. GENERAL WARNINGS
Heed all warnings in this section. If you fail to do so a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to you or others.
A. NOTICE TO RIDER
1. Before using this chair, you should be trained in its safe use by your health care pro-
fessional.
2. Every wheelchair is different. Take the time to learn the feel of this chair before you
begin riding.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for the safe use of this chair that
are best suited to your level of function and ability.
4. Have someone help you practice bending, reaching and transferring until you learn
how to do them safely.
5. Never try a new maneuver on your own unless you are sure it is safe.
6. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look for hazards and learn
how to avoid them.
7. Do not allow additional riders on the chair, armrests or chassis. Doing so may result
in injury or damage.
B. NOTICE TO ATTENDANTS
Make sure you heed all warnings and follow all instructions in each section of this
manual. (Be aware that warnings that apply to the rider also apply to you).
Notes:
1. You need to work with the rider and the rider's doctor, nurse or therapist, to
develop safe methods best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. To manually push the chair you must release the motor locks.
Make sure you have full control over the chair when you release the motor locks.
When you do so the chair will not have brakes.
3. Propel this chair by the armrest supports only. If using a seat frame, propel the chair
by the push handles on the top of the backrest posts. They provide secure points for
you to hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over.
C. WEIGHT LIMIT
1. Never exceed the total weight prescribed for your chair configuration:
• M11 and F11, std configuration= 300 lbs
• M11 and F11 with Perfect Fit seat= 300 lbs
• F11 Heavy Duty= 400 lbs
2. Never use this chair for weight training if the total weight (rider plus additional
weights) exceeds the weight limits outlined above.
3. Exceeding the weight limit is likely to damage the seat, frame, or fasteners and may
cause severe injury to you or others from chair failure.
4. Exceeding the weight limit will void the warranty.
D. CONTROLLER SETTINGS
Be aware that you may need to adjust the controller settings of your chair to
reduce the risk of a collision, fall or tip-over.
1. Check and adjust the settings every six to twelve months (or more often, if needed).
2. Consult your supplier to adjust the control settings immediately if you notice any
change in your ability to:
•Control the joystick.
•Hold your torso erect.
•Avoid running into objects.
