F. General Warnings and Cautions
Tyke
WARNING: Limits refer to combined weight in pounds of the rider and all items carried. Do
not exceed weight limit of mobility base. Exceeding weight limit may damage the mobility
base or may increase the risk of falling or tipping over. A tip-over or fall could 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 the mobility
base or in serious injury or death to you, the caregiver or attendant, the user or
others. Do not use mobility base 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 an inability to control the mobility base on the surface and result in a tip-
over or fall. A tip-over or fall could result in damage to your mobility base or in
serious injury or death.
•
Avoid leaning over the side or back of your mobility base to extend your reach.
Leaning over mobility base 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 the
mobility base or in serious injury or death.
•
Do not lift mobility base by it's removable parts while occupied. Lifting a mobility
base by removable parts while occupied could cause child to fall or lose control. A
fall or loss of control could result in damage to your mobility base or in serious
injury or death.
•
Packaging material must be kept out of the reach of children. Improper handling of
packaging materials and the neglect of the duty to supervise children could result in
suffocation and serious injury or death.
•
Do not expose the mobility base and components to any extreme temperatures (e.g.
sunlight, sauna, extreme cold). Hypothermia or burns through contact with the
mobility base and components can occur and/or failure of components.
•
Any body part that presses against a mobility base frame or other mobility base
components may create skin deformation that results in a high pressure point. High
pressure points negatively affect the tissue under stress and can cause you to
develop a pressure injury or skin breakdown. If your skin develops redness, or any
other symptoms of a pressure injury or skin breakdown, discontinue the use of this
product immediately and consult your clinician. Continuing to use the mobility base
after skin changes are present can result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Avoid overtightening bolts and hardware that attach components to the frame.
Overtightening could cause damage to the mobility base; affecting its durability and perfor-
mance. Damage to the mobility base could result in injury to the child.
NOTE: Information about tightening hardware can be found in the maintenance section of
this manual. If you are unsure how to properly tighten bolts or hardware or lack the tools
necessary, consult your authorized supplier.
