4 SAFETY SUMMARY
Operating Information Warning
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the
wheelchair is unoccupied.
To determine and establish particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and
transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified health
professional BEFORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.
The necessary back angle MUST be selected BEFORE repositioning the rear wheels
forward.
DO NOT operate the tilt function if the trigger release levers and cables are not
properly adjusted. Ensure that the tilt function is locked in place when the trigger
is released.
DO NOT traverse, climb or go down ramps or slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT leave the occupied wheelchair unattended at any time, especially on an
incline.
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 floor by
reaching down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind as
this may cause the wheelchair to tip.
DO NOT shift weight or sitting position toward the direction of reach as the
wheelchair may tip.
DO NOT tip the wheelchair about the rear wheel without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily
injury may occur.

Before attempting to transfer in or out of wheelchair, every precaution should be
taken to reduce the transfer gap distance. Turn both casters towards the object

ENGAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS.
DO NOT operate the wheelchair on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline that is wet, icy or is covered in an

authorized by PDG.
