CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
1. If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of
a tip-over UNLESS you make other changes as well.
2. Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify
or adjust your chair, or contact Future Mobility
Healthcare.
3. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt
to the change, and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
4. Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or
approved by Future Mobility Healthcare may change the
chair structure.

GROUND TERRAIN
WARNING
1. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such
as concrete, asphalt and indoor floors and carpeting.
2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough
terrain. This may damage wheels or axles, or loosen
fasteners of your chair.
CENTER OF GRAVITY
WARNING
The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to the side
depends on its center of gravity and stability.
How your chair is set up, the options you select and the
changes you make may affect the risk of a fall or tip-over.
1. The Most Important Adjustments Are:
a. The position of the rear wheels. The more you move
the rear wheels forward, the more likely your chair will
tip over backward.
b. The position of the carriage.
2. The Center Of Gravity Is Also Affected By:
a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
i. The seat height and seat angle.
ii. Backrest angle.
b. A change in your body position, posture or weight
distribution.
c. Riding your chair on a ramp or slope.
d. The use of a back pack or other options, and the
amount of added weight.
WHEELIES
WARNING
Because of the ability to adjust the center of gravity and changes in
center of gravity that will result from operating the tilt in space
feature of this chair, as a user, do not perform wheelies in this
wheelchair.
Doing a “wheelie” means: balancing on the rear wheels of your
chair, while the front casters are in the air. It is dangerous to do a
"wheelie" as a fall or tip-over may occur.
ROLLING BACKWARDS
WARNING
Use extra care when you move your chair backward.
Your chair is most stable when you propel yourself forward.
