III. NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
K. Mobility Base Stability
WARNING: If the mobility base is equipped with a system to vary the tilt angle of the seat
frame, confirm it is stable throughout the range of angle changes before use. If the
mobility base is not stable throughout the range of tilt angles a fall or tip over is imminent.
Falling or tipping over could result in damage to your mobility base, serious injury or
death.
Strategies to minimize the risk of falling:
• Lean forward when pushing up an incline.
• Lean back when pushing down a decline.
• Have an attendant behind you to provide assistance.
• Mobility base set up should be done only by an authorized technician.
• Always use the accessories provided.
• Your mobility base should be adjusted by an authorized technician when there are changes
in your weight or how you sit.
To ensure proper stability of your mobility base, you must make sure the center of gravity and
the mobility base's base of support is correct for your balance and abilities. Many factors can
affect these two elements:
•
Seat height
•
Seat depth
•
Back angle
•
Seat angle
There are additional actions that can have adverse effects on the stability of your mobility base.
You should consult with an assistive technology professional or clinical professional that is
familiar with your needs and capabilities to determine what you are able to do safely while
maintaining the stability of your mobility base.
L. Aftermarket Seating
WARNING: The installation of a cushion on a mobility base could affect the center of
gravity of the mobility base. Changes in your center of gravity may affect your stability in
your mobility base, resulting in tipping over or falling from your mobility base which may
result in serious injury. Always review the instructions for use of your mobility base to see
if changes to the mobility base may be needed to provide sufficient stability after adding a
cushion.
