IWARNING - WHEELCHAIR SELECTION

TILITE MANUFACTURES A WIDE VARIETY OF WHEELCHAIRS TO MEET THE VARIED NEEDS OF WHEELCHAIR

USERS. HOWEVER, TILITE IS NOT YOUR HEALTH CARE ADVISOR, AND WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOUR

INDIVIDUAL CONDITION OR NEEDS. THEREFORE, THE FINAL SELECTION OF THE PARTICULAR MODEL, AND

HOW IT IS ADJUSTED, AND THE TYPE OF OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES NECESSARY REST SOLELY WITH YOU,

THE WHEELCHAIR USER, AND THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL THAT IS ADVISING YOU. CHOOSING THE BEST

CHAIR AND SETUP FOR YOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON SUCH THINGS AS:

1. YOUR DISABILITY, STRENGTH, BALANCE AND COORDINATION;

2. THE TYPES OF HAZARDS YOU MUST OVERCOME IN DAILY USE (WHERE YOU LIVE AND WORK

AND OTHER PLACES YOU ARE LIKELY TO USE YOUR CHAIR); AND

3. YOUR NEED FOR OPTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY AND COMFORT (SUCH AS ANTI-TIPPERS,

IN WHEELCHAIRS. AS OF THIS DATE, THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HAS NOT

APPROVED ANY TIE-DOWN SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION OF A USER WHILE IN A WHEELCHAIR IN A MOVING

VEHICLE OF ANY TYPE. IT IS TILITE’S POSITION THAT USERS OF WHEELCHAIRS SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED

INTO APPROPRIATE VEHICLE SEATING FOR TRANSPORTATION AND SHOULD USE THE RESTRAINTS MADE

AVAILABLE BY THE AUTO INDUSTRY. TILITE CANNOT, AND DOES NOT, RECOMMEND ANY WHEELCHAIR

TRANSPORTING SYSTEMS.

IWARNING - SEATING RESTRAINTS

IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF YOUR DEALER AND THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE ADVISING YOU

TO DETERMINE IF YOU REQUIRE A SEATING RESTRAINT OR POSITIONING SYSTEM IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT

YOU CAN SAFELY OPERATE YOUR WHEELCHAIR. SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF A FALL FROM

Thank you for purchasing a TiLite!

Located in a 50,000 square foot facility in the southeastern corner of Washington State, TiLite is

surrounded by miles of potato fields. Our biggest distraction is the occasional wind-blown

tumbleweed, which gives us plenty of time to think about innovative designs and cutting-edge

materials.

Your hand made TiLite wheelchair is the result of extensive research into wheeled mobility. It

represents the latest in state-of-the-art design and performance. TiLite combines the finest

frame and component materials with sophisticated manufacturing and quality control

procedures, ensuring you many years of exceptional performance and durability.

Please take a moment to register your new TiLite with the registration card on page 10 or at

http://www.tilite.com under the “CONTACT TiLITE” tab. This will allow us to better serve you

should you have any questions regarding your TiLite.

At TiLite we took great pride in building you “The Ultimate Ride”. Once again thank you for

choosing TiLite.

Sincerely,

The TiLITE family.
