B. General Warnings
WARNING: Do not exceed weight limit of chair:
Catalyst 5VX
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.
