Press the power button to OFF before making any adjustments to your power wheelchair. • Driving with the seatback reclined makes it difficult to see where you are going and increases the chance of serious injury or death from collision and tip-over. Do not attempt to drive this power wheelchair with seatback reclined. A good driving posture is necessary for both comfort and safety. You must have a clear line of sight ahead of your power wheelchair, a good view of the joystick/controller and comfortable hand access to the joystick and speed/response control. • Inspect all areas of the skin in contact with power wheelchair daily. Discontinue use and contact physician at signs of skin irritation or discomfort. • Do not use power wheelchair until evaluated and instructed to do so by a qualified clinician. • Improper seating position can lead to skin lesions or ulcers. Individuals with diabetes or other neurological sensory deficits are at increased chance of injury due to prolonged sitting or improper positioning. 28 Chapter 4 D82007778 REV N 7/10/12
