ƽ WARNING
Be aware that carrying heavy objects on your lap while occupying the wheelchair
may adversely affect the stability of the wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury
to the user, damage to the wheelchair and surrounding property.
This wheelchair has been designed to accommodate one individual. If more than
one individual occupies the wheelchair this may adversely affect the stability of the
wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user and passenger and damage
to the wheelchair and surrounding property.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.
Many activities require the wheelchair user to reach, bend and transfer in and out of
the wheelchair. These movements will cause a change to the normal balance,
center of gravity, and weight distribution of the wheelchair. To determine and
establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring
activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare
professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning, bending or
bending forward, it is important to use the casters as a tool to maintain stability and
balance.
