WARNING! Risk of Serious Injury or Device Damage The following guidelines should be adhered to while operating your Motion Concepts power positioning system to avoid serious injury or device damage, and ensure safe operation: · ALWAYS check your surroundings before operating your Motion Concepts seating system. Make sure that the way is clear of obstructions throughout the full range of travel before operating any seat positioning function. · NEVER operate the tilt or elevate function while underneath a fixed object such as a table or desk · NEVER operate the powered legrest function while underneath a table, desk, or other obstruction. · NEVER use your legrest footplates or foot platform to open doors or move obstructions. · NEVER operate your power positioning system while driving your wheelchair. · NEVER allow items such as posture belts, backpacks, coats, etc… to become trapped under your seat while in a tilted, or elevated position, OR under your power legrests while extended, otherwise damage to the system may occur.
CAUTION! Risk of Injury or Device Damage or Property Damage Operating the wheelchair with insufficient ground clearance between the footplates and the ground/floor may cause injury, device damage or property damage. · While the wheelchair is in motion, ALWAYS maintain a minimum ground clearance of 3 inches, or the minimum ground clearance stated by wheelchair base manufacture (whichever is greater). · If necessary, elevate the front rigging or tilt the seat to achieve the proper ground clearance prior to driving the wheelchair. · If the wheelchair dips forward and the footplates touch the ground while in motion, please contact your Service Provider for immediate assistance and/or inspection; Avoid use of the wheelchair until corrected.
WARNING! Risk of serious injury due to crushing or pinching. · Be mindful of potential pinch points caused by moving parts. Use caution when operating your power positioning system, especially around children and pets. · Keep hands, fingers or limbs clear of any articulating mechanisms/linkages on your positioning system.
WARNING! Risk of injury or damage · Following any legrest adjustment ALWAYS inspect the wheelchair to ensure the front rigging DOES NOT interfere with the wheelchair chassis or front casters, and that the footplates do not collide with the ground.
WARNING! Risk of Serious Injury or Device Damage. Any sudden or gradual deterioration in the function/performance of your power positioning system (i.e. increased actuator motor/gearbox noise, rattling, sloppiness, etc…) must be reported to your Dealer immediately. · A complete wheelchair inspection by a qualified technician is recommended to ensure there is no unusual wear and tear, or physical damage that requires servicing and/or repair.
WARNING! Accidental activation of wheelchair caused by pets, children, etc. may result in serious injury or damage. · ALWAYS turn power off when around pets and/or children to prevent unintended movement.

DANGER! Risk of Injury, Damage or Death Improper set-up, service, adjustment or programming may result in injury, damage or death. · A Qualified Technician MUST set-up, service and program the wheelchair/power positioning system. · DO NOT allow non-qualified technicians to perform any service repairs, modifications or adjustments on your wheelchair/power positioning sysrtem. · Turn off power BEFORE adjusting or servicing the wheelchair/power positioning system. · Ensure that all hardware is securely tightened after set-up, or following any maintenance or adjustments.
