WARNING: Never connect a respirator or other life-support device to the wheelchair
batteries, since it will shorten the battery operating time. This could cause
an unanticipated failure of both the wheelchair and the life-support equip-
ment.
WARNING: Do not stand or step on the footplates while transferring to or from your
wheelchair. This could cause the wheelchair to tip or may cause personal
injury or damage to your wheelchair.
WARNING: Always ensure that the wheelchair is on a stable, level surface, engage the
drive engagement levers, and turn wheelchair power off before transferring,
using a wheelchair lift, or using an elevator.
WARNING: Do not attempt to reach objects if you are required to move forward in the
seat. Do not attempt to retrieve objects from the floor if you must reach
down between your knees. Do not shift your weight in the direction that you
are reaching and/or bending; this could cause the wheelchair to tip.
WARNING: Unauthorized modification or the use of non-Everest & Jennings® replace-
ment parts could change the structure of the wheelchair, void the warranty,
and create a hazardous condition resulting in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not lean on this wheelchair, use it to support yourself (except while sit-
ting in it), or use it as a walker—these are practices which could result in
loss of balance and personal injury.
WARNING: Do not tow any loads or "piggyback" passengers or heavy packages.
WARNING: Keep all cables away from the moving parts of the wheelchair.
WARNING: Do not use your wheelchair on escalators.
WARNING: As a safety feature, this wheelchair is equipped with fail-safe electrome-
chanical park brakes. Any interruption in the power supply will cause these
brakes to immediately engage and stop the wheelchair. If the user is not
properly positioned, an unanticipated stop could pitch the user forward
and out of the wheelchair. Use the positioning strap at all times to prevent
injury.
