Be sure that both height adjustment knobs are fully tightened and handles are at equal heights. Test unit for stability before applying full weight to hand grips.
Be sure the unit is fully open, seat is down and the hinged folding mechanism under seat is locked in the down position.
After initial setup, care should be taken to ensure that all hand and height adjustments are secure, and that all wheels are moving freely before using this unit.
Test the loop breaks before operating the unit. When wheels are locked the lock bar on rear wheels should prevent wheels from turning. When loop brakes are released, the wheels should turn freely.
Always observe the weight limit.
Replace tires when worn or damaged.

USER WARNING Check front casters weekly for signs of damage

All wheels MUST be in contact with the floor at all times during use. This will ensure that the unit is properly balanced.
To prevent tipping which may result in injury or damage:
a. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward while seated

c. The backrest should ALWAYS be in place and is NOT designed to support yourtotal body weight
d. When reaching or picking up items place both feet securely on the floor and reach down between your knees
e. DO NOT add to your load when you are seated

The above situations will cause a change of weight distribution and may cause the unit to tip, resulting in injury or damage. Always use EXTREME caution when reaching for any object.
