WARNING: This wheelchair does not offer seating or occupant
restraint equivalent to the seat provided in a motor vehicle! To
increase your safety while traveling in a motor vehicle, always
transfer to the vehicle seat and use the restraint provided by
the vehicle manufacturer.
WARNING: Do not tie down or attach anything to the wheels.
This could cause tipping and possibly result in injury or damage
to the wheelchair.
WARNING: The footplates' lowest point should clear the ground
by at least 2-1/2 inches, to permit proper clearance of poten-
tial obstruction.
WARNING: Doing a "wheelie" (tilting the wheelchair backward
until it reaches its balance point) is dangerous and could result
in personal injury to the user.
WARNING: Do not stand or step on the footplates while trans-
ferring to or from your wheelchair. This could cause the wheel-
chair to tip or may cause personal injury or damage to your
wheelchair.
WARNING: Always engage wheel locks before transferring, us-
ing a wheelchair lift or using an elevator.
WARNING: Ensure that wheelchair is on a stable, level surface
and engage wheel locks before and during transfer.
WARNING: Operate only with anti-tippers in place when leaning
or tipping. When in use, anti-tippers must be installed in the
downward position.
WARNING: Do not lean over the top of the wheelchair back. This
could cause the wheelchair to tip over.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of tipping before leaning or reach-
ing forward, sit back in the seat and rotate casters fully toward
front of wheelchair.
WARNING: Unauthorized modification or the use of non-Everest
& Jennings® replacement parts could change the structure of
the wheelchair, void the warranty, and create a hazardous con-
dition resulting in serious personal injury.
