To avoid serious injury or death from being struck by a motor vehicle, when driving your power wheelchair near traffic: • Obey all local pedestrian traffic rules. • Cross roads at locations where you are most visible to motor traffic, if possible at a light-controlled pedestrian crossing with handicapped cutouts. • Cross the road by the most direct route. To reduce the chance of serious injury or death from tip-over, collision with obstacles, loss of control, or falling from the power wheelchair, keep yourself properly positioned in the seat: • Keep your seat belt fastened. • Drive with the seatback only in a fully upright, locked and forward facing position. • Keep your back against the seatback, arms on the armrests, and your feet on the footplate. • Do not reach over the back of the chair or lean excessively forward or sideways. • Do not carry passengers or cargo. • Do not stand on footplate. Do not put weight on footplate, armrest or controller while getting into or out of the power wheelchair. D82007778 REV N 7/10/12 General Warnings 11
