GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
4
WARNING! Anti-tippers substantially reduce your
risk of falling over backwards, which can cause
serious injury.
WARNING! Have someone help you practice
bending and reaching on the wheelchair and
transferring to and from the wheelchair until you learn
how to do it safely.
WARNING! NEVER try a new manoeuvre
on your own.
WARNING! Get to know the areas where you
plan to use your wheelchair. Look for hazards and
learn how to avoid them.
WARNING! Do not use the wheelchair other than
for its original purpose. Avoid any use, such as
weight training, sports and athletics, hauling, moving or
towing anything, that may lead to safety hazards and
undue stress on the wheelchair.
WARNING! Your wheelchair is designed for one
passenger only. Do not carry passengers on
your wheelchair.
WARNING! Always use the seatbelt to safely
operate your wheelchair; make sure it is fastened
securely. This will reduce the possibility of a fall from
the wheelchair and will ensure that the seatbelt cannot
get caught in the tires while driving.
WARNING! Inspect the seatbelt for loose parts
or damage before each use of the wheelchair. If
damaged, contact your approved service provider for
maintenance and repair immediately. Do not operate
your wheelchair with a faulty seatbelt.
WARNING! We strongly recommend that you do
not smoke cigarettes while seated on your
wheelchair. You must adhere to the following safety
guidelines if you decide to smoke cigarettes while
seated in your wheelchair: Do not leave lit cigarettes
unattended.
