IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WHEN USING YOUR WHEELCHAIR.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY TO YOU
OR OTHERS OR DAMAGE TO YOUR WHEELCHAIR.
Safety requires the constant attention of the wheelchair user and
the attendant. It is extremely important to learn and always use safe
methods of performing basic daily activities. Always consult your
healthcare professional to determine those methods most suitable for
your individual abilities.
Protect yourself and your wheelchair by having your Paramount XD
serviced regularly. Whenever any part of your Paramount XD is not
functioning properly, contact your Graham-Field Health Products
dealer immediately, as a hazardous situation could result, causing
personal injury or damage to your wheelchair. ONLY EXCELLENT

Periodic inspection, adjustment, and replacement of worn parts will
provide many years of superb performance.
