ƽ WARNING - ESCALATORS

DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily

injury may occur.

Transferring To and From Other Seats

ƽ WARNING

ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power Off and engage the Motor Release Levers to

prevent the wheels from moving before attempting to transfer in or out of the

wheelchair. Also, make sure every precaution is taken to reduce the gap distance by

aligning both the front and rear casters parallel with the object you are transferring

onto.

CAUTION

When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will pre-

vent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tip-

ping forward.
