C. WHEELIES
Because of the ability to adjust the center of gravity and
changes in center of gravity that will result from operating
the tilt in space feature of this chair, as a user, do not per-
form wheelies in the IRIS wheelchair.
WARNING
Doing a "wheelie" means: balancing on the rear wheels of
your chair, while the front casters are in the air. It is dan-
gerous to do a "wheelie" as a fall or tip-over may occur.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
D.OBSTACLES
WARNING
Obstacles and road hazards (such as potholes and bro-
ken pavement) can damage your chair and may cause a
fall, tip-over or loss of control.
To avoid these risks:
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
E. REACHING OR LEANING
WARNING
If you reach or lean it will affect the center of balance of
your chair. This may cause you to fall or tip over. When in
doubt, ask for help or use a device to extend your reach.
VI. WARNINGS: FALLS & TIP-OVERS
NOTE– Leaning forward puts pressure on the footrests and may cause the
chair to tip if you lean too far.
NOTE– To do this: Move your chair past the object you want to reach, then
back up alongside it. Backing up will rotate the casters forward.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
F. MOVING BACKWARD
Use extra care when you move your chair backward.
Your chair is most stable when you propel yourself for-
ward. You may lose control or tip over if one of the rear
wheels hits an object and stops rolling.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of
control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
G. RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDEHILLS
Riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or sidehill, will
change the center of balance of your chair. Your chair is
less stable when it is at an angle. Anti-tip tubes may not
prevent a fall or tip-over.
