Safety

Stability
This wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long as center of gravity is maintained while going about normal activities. Care must be taken while performing activities that shift your center of gravity in the chair. Never reach so far that you need to shift in the seat or bend over out of the chair. When you reaching for objects that require you to lean, be certain front casters are pointed in a forward position that extends the wheel base and stabilizes the chair.

Ramps
Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength before attempting to go up a ramp. Correct techniques on ramp navigation should be shown to you by a qualified professional. If you must stop on an incline, avoid sudden, abrupt movement when you resume movement. Backward angling of the chair or sudden abrupt movement could cause instability. Attempting to use the wheel lock brakes could result in accidental locking, tipping to one side, sudden stopping. Avoid changing direction when going down an incline, as this could result in instability or tipping over. Never use your wheelchair on an incline steeper than 4.8°.

Care of the Wheelchair
Always ensure that your wheelchair is dry after use to prevent corrosion. It should be regularly washed using warm water and a mild detergent. Dry after washing. Between uses the wheelcahir can be folded for storage.
