IWARNING - READ THIS MANUAL
DO NOT OPERATE THIS WHEELCHAIR WITHOUT FIRST READING AND UNDERSTANDING THIS
OWNER’S MANUAL. IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS, CAUTIONS AND
INSTRUCTIONS, CONTACT YOUR TiLITE DEALER OR TiLITE CUSTOMER SUPPORT AT (800)
545-2266 BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE THIS WHEELCHAIR.
IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING,
YOU MAY FALL, TIP OVER OR LOSE CONTROL OF THE WHEELCHAIR AND SERIOUSLY INJURE
YOURSELF OR OTHERS OR DAMAGE THE WHEELCHAIR.
IWARNING - WHEELCHAIR SELECTION
TiLITE MANUFACTURES A WIDE VARIETY OF WHEELCHAIRS TO MEET THE VARIED NEEDS
OF WHEELCHAIR USERS. HOWEVER, TiLITE IS NOT YOUR HEALTH CARE ADVISOR, AND
WE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT YOUR INDIVIDUAL CONDITION OR NEEDS. THEREFORE, THE
FINAL SELECTION OF THE PARTICULAR MODEL, AND HOW IT IS ADJUSTED, AND THE TYPE
OF OPTIONS AND ACCESSORIES NECESSARY REST SOLELY WITH YOU, THE WHEELCHAIR
USER, AND THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL THAT IS ADVISING YOU. CHOOSING THE
BEST CHAIR AND SETUP FOR YOUR SAFETY DEPENDS ON SUCH THINGS AS:
1. YOUR DISABILITY, STRENGTH, BALANCE AND COORDINATION;
2. THE TYPES OF HAZARDS YOU MUST OVERCOME IN DAILY USE (WHERE YOU LIVE
AND WORK AND OTHER PLACES YOU ARE LIKELY TO USE YOUR CHAIR);
3. YOUR NEED FOR OPTIONS FOR YOUR SAFETY AND COMFORT (SUCH AS ANTI-TIPS,
POSITIONING BELTS OR SPECIAL SEATING SYSTEMS).
IF YOU IGNORE THIS WARNING, YOU MAY ENDANGER YOUR HEALTH.
IWARNING - TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS
TiLITE RECOMMENDS THAT WHEELCHAIR USERS NOT BE TRANSPORTED IN VEHICLES OF
ANY KIND WHILE IN WHEELCHAIRS. AS OF THIS DATE, THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT
OF TRANSPORTATION HAS NOT APPROVED ANY TIE-DOWN SYSTEM FOR TRANSPORTATION
OF A USER WHILE IN A WHEELCHAIR IN A MOVING VEHICLE OF ANY TYPE. IT IS TiLITE’S
POSITION THAT USERS OF WHEELCHAIRS SHOULD BE TRANSFERRED INTO APPROPRIATE
VEHICLE SEATING FOR TRANSPORTATION AND SHOULD USE THE RESTRAINTS MADE
AVAILABLE BY THE AUTO INDUSTRY. TiLITE CANNOT, AND DOES NOT, RECOMMEND ANY
WHEELCHAIR TRANSPORTING SYSTEMS.
IWARNING - SEATING RESTRAINTS
IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF YOUR DEALER AND THE HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE
ADVISING YOU TO DETERMINE IF YOU REQUIRE A SEATING RESTRAINT OR POSITIONING
SYSTEM IN ORDER TO ENSURE THAT YOU CAN SAFELY OPERATE YOUR WHEELCHAIR.
SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF A FALL FROM A WHEELCHAIR.
