WARNING
If the wheelchair dips forward and the footplates touch the ground while the wheelchair is in motion, please contact your
dealer for an inspection and avoid use of the wheelchair if possible. Otherwise the user could be injured.
ALWAYS maintain a minimum of 3-inches between bottom of the front riggings and the floor/ground while the wheelchair
is in motion to ensure proper ground clearance. If necessary, adjust the front rigging height or tilt seat to achieve proper
ground clearance.
DO NOT use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in
the upward position or swing footrests towards the outside of the wheelchair.
ƽ
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to
move forward in the seat or pick them up from
the floor by reaching down between your knees.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety.
Improper positioning while leaning or bending
could cause the wheelchair to tip forward onto
anti-tippers.
For this procedure, refer to FIGURE2.
