time, then parts of the wheelchair (e.g. frame, legrests, wheel
locks) may become hot (>41°C).

clothing for maximum visibility.
5. IF you have to cross a road, make eye contact with drivers before

the use of a caster wheel with a minimum diameter of 5"
(127mm), if the wheelchair will be overcoming obstacles up to
1/2" (12.7mm) on a regular basis.

prematurely, and that damage to wheels or axles could put
the rider at risk of a fall, tip-over, or loss of control.
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.
