SAFETY SUMMARY

FETY SUMMARYFETY SUMMARY

FETY SUMMARY

WARNING

WARNINGWARNING

WARNING

1. Unless noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the

wheelchair is unoccupied.

2. After any adjustments are made, (i.e. repair, service and before use) make

sure all attaching hardware is tightened and secure. Otherwise injury or

damage may occur.

3. Do not reach for objects if you have to move forward in your seat.

4. Do not reach for objects if you have to pick them up off the floor by

reaching out and down between or across your knees.

5. Do not lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach for objects from

behind, which may cause the wheelchair to tip over.

6. Do not shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are

reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.

7. Do not tilt the wheelchair without assistance.

8. Do not attempt to use an escalator to move between floors. Serious injury

may occur.

9. Do not attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks. These

are not brakes.

10. Do not operate on roads, streets, or highways.

11. Do not climb, go up or down ramps or steep slopes greater than 8°.

12. Do not attempt to ride up or down ramps with water, ice or oily film.

13. Do not attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles; this may cause your

wheelchair to tip over, which may cause bodily injury and damage to the

wheelchair.

14. Do not use unauthorized parts or accessories.

15. Do not attempt to lift the wheelchair by lifting on any removable parts.

This may cause injury and damage the wheelchair.

16. Do not stand on the frame of the wheelchair.

17. Do not use the footplate as a platform when getting in or out of the

wheelchair. This may cause the chair to tip over and cause bodily injury.

18. Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution

should be taken to reduce the gap distance between you and the object

you are transferring to. Turn both casters toward the object you are

transferring onto. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, always

engage both wheel locks.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TO OPEN

Stand on one side of your wheelchair, and tilt it to one side so the weight

is only on one side of the chair. This will help to avoid dragging the wheel

sideways, which may make the chair more difficult to open and cause tire

damage.

Push the seat rails down gently and firmly with the side of your hand, until

the chair is fully open. DO NOT GRIP THE SEAT RAIL FROM THE

UNDERSIDE, OR PUT HAND BETWEEN THE SIDE PANEL AND SEAT

RAIL AS DOING SO COULD CAUSE INJURY.

Fold down the footplates.

TO FOLD

Fold up the footplates

Tilt the chair sideways and lift up on the front and back of the seat. Tilting

the chair will help to avoid dragging the wheel sideways, which could

cause tire damage or make it more difficult to close. Continue pulling up

the upholstery until fully closed.

Tuck the upholstery down between the front rails evenly.

TO REMOVE DETACHABLE DESK ARMS (if applicable)

Push in the button lock at the front base of the arm.

Lift the arm up and off.

TO REPLACE DETACHABLE DESK ARMS (if applicable)

Reposition the arms.

The button lock will automatically snap in place.

TO ADJUST LENGTH OF FOOTREST

Using the enclose allen wrench, loosen the cap screw near the bottom of the

footplate and adjust to desired length.

Allow a minimum of 2½” clearance from the lowest point of the footplate to the

floor.

Tighten the cap screw securely after adjustment.

CALF SUPPORT ADJUSTMENT (if applicable)

The calf supports can be adjusted to three different positions for optimum

comfort. Note: The calf support must be in the middle or top position when

folding up the legrest. It cannot be in the bottom position.

TO REMOVE FOOTREST OR LEGREST (if applicable)

Release the locking lever.

Swing the footrest/legrest aside.

Lift up and off in one continuous motion.

HEEL LOCKS

To engage the wheel locks that are on both sides of the wheelchairs, push the

handles forward until they are firmly set against the tires. However, if the

wheelchair will not be used for an extended period of time, do not set the wheel

locks as doing so may permanently dent the tire.

HO TO RAISE AND LO ER ELEVATING LEGRESTS (if applicable)

To raise the legrests, lift them to the desired heights. If it is necessary to adjust

this position, release lever to lower legrest. They will automatically lock.

To lower the legrests completely, press the release lever.

Note: It is recommended that the lowest part of the footplate be at least 2½”

above the ground for adequate clearance.

TO ADJUST THE FULL-RECLINING BACK (if applicable)

Pull the trigger release and recline the back to the desired increment position.

TO PROPEL YOURSELF

Position yourself comfortably in the chair.

Grasp the hand rims and rotate them in the direction you wish to go. Try

to develop a consistent stroke.

TIRES

Make sure the tires are not worn. Worn tires can cause difficulty in

propelling and maneuvering the wheelchair. To ensure proper balance,

both tires should be replaced at the same time.

CASTER

Remove any lint, thread or dirt that may be caught in the casters to

prevent binding.

HAND RIMS

Replace the hand rims if there are any signs of rough, sharp edges or

peeling.

REAR HEEL LOCKS

You can make minor adjustments to compensate for normal tire wear by

simply loosening the bracket and sliding the assembly forward or

backward.
