had a chance to dry thoroughly.
DO NOT leave the power wheelchair where it is exposed to high temperatures (a car trunk, etc.) or to poo
weather conditions such as rain or snow or freezing conditions as damage to the unit will occur.

while you are loosening them.
DO NOT ride the unit near platforms, stairs, ledges, curbs or in any other potentially dangerous situation as
serious injury can result.

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the fl oor by reaching down between
