B. General Warnings
WARNING: Do not exceed weight limit of chair:
Liberty FT
Limits refer to combined weight in pounds of user and all items carried. Exceeding weight limit
may damage your chair or may increase your risk of falling or tipping over. A tip-over or fall could
result in serious injury or death.
•
Do not use chair for weight training. The movement of the additional weight alters the
chair's center of gravity increasing your risk of tipping over. A tip-over could result in
damage to your chair or in serious injury or death.
•
Keep tires inflated to correct tire pressure. Using a chair without properly inflated tires
may affect its stability, increasing your risk of tipping over. A tip-over could result in
damage to your chair or in serious injury or death to you or others. Correct tire pressure is
indicated on the side wall of the tire. Your wheelchair provider can determine if your tires
are inflatable if you are unsure.
•
Underinflated tires may cause your wheel locks to not function properly. Failure of the
wheel locks to hold your chair may result in a loss of control or fall. This can result in
serious injury or death.
•
Avoid ramps or slopes inclined more than 9 degrees. Steep slopes increase your risk of
falling or tipping over. A tip-over or fall could result in damage to your chair or in serious
injury or death to you or others. Do not use chair on ramps or slopes tilted more than 9
degrees (about 2 inches rise/drop per linear-foot): neither up/down nor across.
•
Avoid inclined surfaces slick or coated with ice, oil or water. Slippery inclines could result
in falling or tipping over. A tip-over or fall could result in damage to your chair or in serious
injury or death.
•
Avoid leaning over the side or back of your wheelchair to extend your reach. Leaning over
chair could change its center of gravity and cause an unstable situation resulting in a fall
or tip-over. A tip-over or fall could result in damage to your chair or in serious injury or
death.
•
Do not lift wheelchair by its removable parts while occupied. Lifting a wheelchair by
removable parts - e.g. armrests or footrests - while occupied could cause user to fall or
lose control. A fall or loss of control could result in damage to your chair or in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION: Avoid overtightening bolts and hardware that attach components to the frame. Over-
tightening could cause damage to the chair; affecting its durability and performance.
NOTE: If you are unsure how to properly tighten bolts or hardware, consult your authorized
supplier.
