icy or oil-slicked surface. Do not use Wheelchair in shower, pool or other body of water. Dry Wheelchair as soon as possible if it does get wet.

wheels or axles or loosen the fasteners.
21. When using Wheelchair outside and at night, use reflective tape on Wheelchair and on clothing. Be sure to make eye-contact with drivers

Attempting to climb high steps can lead to loss of balance and potential tip over.
26. Do not use Wheelchair on stairs without assistance. Doing so can lead to loss of balance
and a fall, leading to potential serious injury.

lead to a fall and potential serious injury.

drop off points are at bottom of ramps.
30. Do not use Wheelchair on slope steeper than 9% (one foot in elevation per every nine feet of slope length.)
31. Go straight up and straight down ramps; do angle or cut corners on ramps. Stay in
center of ramp and do not change Wheelchair direction or stop while on slope or ramp.
32. Do not use rear Wheel Locks to slow down or stop Wheelchair while on a slope or ramp.
33. Verify that ramps at home and work meet all local legal requirements.

Wheelchair as close as possible to vehicle seat.
36. Do not allow feet to catch in the space between footrests during transfer in and out of Wheelchair.
37. Keep footrests at least 2” off the ground. If footrests are set lower, they may
get caught against objects on floor.
38. Do not lift Wheelchair by armrest pads or footrests. Lift Wheelchair only by
non-detachable parts of the frame.
39. Do not sit in Wheelchair while in a moving vehicle. Sit in an approved handicapped
seating area and secure yourself with proper seat belts and/or vehicle restraints.

with the driver. Secure wheelchair in proper location to avoid rolling or shifting.
41. Do not reach or lean if you must shift weight sideways or rise up out of the Wheelchair. Always
keep your buttocks in contact with the backrest.
42. Do not reach out for something with both hands. Doing so will keep you from catching yourself should the chair tip.
43. Do not lock the rear wheels when reaching for an object. Doing so creates
a “tip-point,” which can lead to a fall.
44. Firmly grip a rear wheel or armrest when reaching for something. Doing
so will help reduce the risk of a fall.
45. Verify both rear Rear Wheels are locked before using Wheelchair. An unlocked axle
may come off during use and potentially lead to a fall, causing serious personal injury.
46. Verify Push Handle grips do not rotate or slip before use.

information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.

discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the
operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
