2NOTICE – READ BEFORE USE
CHOOSE THE CORRECT CHAIR AND OPTIONS
Future Mobility Healthcare Inc. provides a choice of many
wheelchair styles to meet the requirements of the wheelchair
user. However, the final selection of the wheelchair and its
options rests solely with you and your health care advisor.
Choosing the best chair will depend on such things as:
1. The level of your disability, strength, balance and
coordination.
2. The places and terrain that you are likely to use your
chair.
3. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such
as anti-tip tubes, positioning belts, or special seating
systems).
REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN
Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist
you, should read this entire manual and make sure to follow all
instructions. Review the warnings often.
WARNING
The term “WARNING” are hazards or unsafe practices that
may cause severe injury or death to you or to other persons.

COM AQUA TL UM REV. 02 6 AQUA TL
3General
USER WEIGHT LIMIT
WARNING
NEVER exceed the weight limit of 250 pounds for a combined weight of
rider and items carried. If you do exceed the limit, damage to your
chair, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to
the rider or others.
WEIGHT TRAINING
WARNING
NEVER use this chair for weight training if total weight (rider plus
equipment) exceeds 250 pounds. If you do exceed the limit, damage to
your chair, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury
to the rider or others.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR CHAIR
WARNING
Every wheelchair is different. Take the time to learn the feel of this
chair before you begin riding. Start slowly, with easy, smooth strokes. If
you are used to a different chair, you may use too much force and tip
over. If you use too much force, damage to your chair, a fall, tip over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
TO REDUCE THE RISK
WARNING
1. BEFORE riding, you should be trained in the safe use of this
chair by your health care advisor.
2. Practice bending, reaching and transfers until you know the
limit of your ability. Have someone help you until you know
what can cause a fall or tip-over and how to avoid doing so.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for safe
use best suited to your level of function and ability.
4. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own until you are sure
you can do it safely.
5. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look
for hazards and learn how to avoid them.
6. Use anti-tip tubes unless you are a skilled rider of this chair
and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
SAFETY CHECKLIST
WARNING
Before each use of your chair:
1. Make sure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work
smoothly. Check for noise, vibration, or a change in ease of
use. (They may indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or
damage to your chair).
2. Repair any problem. Your authorized supplier can help you
find and correct the problem.

COM AQUA TL UM REV. 02 7 AQUA TL
3. Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked.
When locked, the axle button will “pop out” fully.
CHANGES AND ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
1. If you modify or adjust this chair, it may increase the risk of a
tip-over UNLESS you make other changes as well.
2. Consult your authorized supplier BEFORE you modify or
adjust your chair, or contact Future Mobility Healthcare.
3. We recommend that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to
the change, and are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
4. Unauthorized modifications or use of parts not supplied or
approved by Future Mobility Healthcare may change the chair
structure.
A. This will void the warranty and may cause a safety hazard.
.
GROUND TERRAIN
WARNING
1. Your chair is designed for use on firm, even surfaces such as
concrete, asphalt and indoor floors and carpeting.
2. Do not operate your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough
terrain. This may damage wheels or axles, or loosen fasteners
of your chair.
CENTER OF GRAVITY
WARNING
The point where this chair will tip forward, back, or to the side
depends on its center of gravity and stability.
How your chair is set up, the options you select and the changes
you make may affect the risk of a fall or tip-over.
1. The Most Important Adjustments Are:
a. The position of the rear wheels. The more you move the
rear wheels forward, the more likely your chair will tip
over backward.
b. The position of the carriage.
2. The Center Of Gravity Is Also Affected By:
a. A change in the set-up of your chair, including:
i. The seat height and seat angle.
ii. Backrest angle.
b. A change in your body position, posture or weight
distribution.
c. Riding your chair on a ramp or slope.
d. The use of a back pack or other options, and the amount
of added weight.
WHEELIES
WARNING
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 perform wheelies in this wheelchair.
Doing a “wheelie” means: balancing on the rear wheels of your chair,
while the front casters are in the air. It is dangerous to do a "wheelie"
as a fall or tip-over may occur.

COM AQUA TL UM REV. 02 8 AQUA TL
ROLLING BACKWARDS
WARNING
Use extra care when you move your chair backward.
Your chair is most stable when you propel yourself forward.
You may lose control or tip over if one of the rear wheels hits an
object and stops rolling.
1. Propel your chair slowly and smoothly.
2. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, make sure to lock them in
place.
3. Stop often and check to be sure your path is clear.
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.
1. NEVER reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or
rise up off the seat.
2. NEVER reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to
do so. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the
backrest.
3. NEVER reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch
yourself to prevent a fall if the chair tips).
4. NEVER reach or lean to the rear unless your chair has anti-tip
tubes locked in place.
5. DO NOT reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may
damage one or both backrest tubes and cause you to fall.
6. If You Must Reach Or Lean:
a. Do not lock the rear wheels. This creates a tip point and
makes a fall or tip-over more likely.
b. Do not put pressure on the footrests.
c. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you
wish to reach.
RAMPS AND SLOPES
WARNING
Riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or side hill, 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.
1. Do not use your chair on a slope steeper than 10%.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can. (Do
not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.)
3. Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
4. Always stay in the CENTER of the ramp. Make sure ramp is
wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may fall
over the edge.
5. Do not stop on a steep slope. If you stop, you may lose
control of your chair.
6. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair.
This is likely to cause your chair to veer out of control.
7. Beware Of:
a. Wet or slippery surfaces.
b. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or
depression).

COM AQUA TL UM REV. 02 9 AQUA TL
c. A drop-off at the bottom of a slope. A drop-off of as
small as 3/4 inch can stop a front caster and cause the
chair to tip forward.
TRANSFERS
WARNING
It is dangerous to transfer on your own. It requires good balance
and agility. Be aware that there is a point during every transfer
when the wheelchair seat is not below you. To Avoid A Fall:
1. Work with your health care advisor to learn safe methods.
a. Learn how to position your body and how to support
yourself during a transfer.
b. Have someone help you until you know how to do a safe
transfer on your own.
2. Lock the rear wheels before you transfer. This keeps the rear
wheels from rolling.
3. Make sure to keep pneumatic tires properly inflated. Low tire
pressure may allow the rear wheel locks to slip.
4. Move your chair as close as you can to the seat you are
transferring to. If possible, use a transfer board.
5. Rotate the front casters until they are as far forward as
possible.
6. If you can, remove or swing footrests out of the way.
a. Make sure your feet do not catch in the space between
the footrests.
Avoid putting weight on the footrests as this may cause the chair to tip.
4ATTENDANT WARNINGS
TILTING THE WHEELCHAIR
WARNING
In preparation to operate the tilt:
1. Always verify that the arms of the rider are stable on the
armrests or within the armrests.
2. Always verify that the legs of the rider are stable on the
footrest/ legrest.
3. Never place hands, feet or foreign objects into the tilt
mechanism.
4. Never push or propel the chair with the seat tilted in a
forward position.
5. Never add chair accessories that are not specifically designed
for the wheelchair.
6. Never exceed a tilted position that aligns the backrest parallel
to the ground.
DESCENDING A CURB
WARNING
Follow these steps to help a rider descend a curb or single step
going BACKWARD:
1. Stay at the rear of the chair.
2. Several feet before your reach the edge of the curb or step,
turn the chair around and pull it backward.

COM AQUA TL UM REV. 02 10 AQUA TL
3. While looking over your shoulder, carefully step back until
you are off the curb or stair and standing on the lower level.
4. Pull the chair toward you until the rear wheels reach the edge
of the curb or step. Then allow the rear wheels to slowly roll
down onto the lower level.
5. When the rear wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the
chair back to its balance point. This will lift the front casters
off the curb or step.
6. Keep the chair in balance and take small steps backward.
7. Turn the chair around and gently lower front casters to the
ground
CLIMBING A CURB
WARNING
Follow these steps to help the rider climb a curb or single step
going FORWARD:
1. Stay behind the chair.
2. Face the curb and tilt the chair up on the rear wheels so that
the front casters clear the curb or step.
3. Move forward, placing the front casters on the upper level as
soon as you are sure they are past the edge.
4. Continue forward until the rear wheels contact the face of the
curb or step. Lift and roll the rear wheels to the upper level.
DESCENDING STAIRS
WARNING
1. Use at least two attendants to move a chair and rider down
stairs.
2. Move the chair and rider FORWARD down the stairs.
3. The person at the rear is in control. He or she tilts the chair to
the balance point of the rear wheels and rolls it to the edge of
the top step.
4. A second attendant stands on the third step from the top and
grasps the hanger receiver or frontmost part of the seat rail.
He or she lowers the chair one step at a time by letting the
rear wheels roll over the stair edge.
The attendants move to the next stair down. Repeat for each stair, until
you reach the landing.

COM AQUA TL UM REV. 02 11 AQUA TL
5COMPONENT WARNINGS
ANTI-TIP WHEELS
WARNING
Anti-tip wheels can help keep your chair from tipping over
backward in most normal conditions.
1. Future Mobility Healthcare Recommends Use Of Anti-Tip
Tubes:
a. UNLESS you are a skilled rider of this chair and are sure
you are not at risk to tip over.
b. Each time you modify or adjust your chair. The change
may make it easier to tip backward. Use anti-tip tubes
until you adapt to the change, and are sure you are not
at risk to tip over.
2. When locked in place (in the “down” position) anti-tip tubes
should be BETWEEN 1 1/2 and 2 inches off the ground.
a. If set too HIGH, they may not prevent a tip-over.
b. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on obstacles you can
expect in normal use. If this occurs, you may fall or your
chair may tip over.
3. Keep Anti-Tip Tubes Locked In Place UNLESS:
a. You have an attendant, or
b. You have to climb or descend a curb, or overcome an
obstacle, and can safely do so without them. At these
times, make sure anti-tip tubes are up, out of the way.
ARMRESTS
WARNING
Armrests will not bear the weight of this chair.
1. NEVER lift this chair by its armrests. They may come loose or
break.
2. Lift this chair only by non-detachable parts of the main frame.
BACK CANES
WARNING
Always keep fingers away from the locking mechanism located at the
bottom of the back canes when folding the back down or pulling it back
up.
FASTENERS
WARNING
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-
strength fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your
chair to fail.
1. ONLY use fasteners provided by an authorized supplier (or
ones of the same type and strength, as indicated by the
markings on the heads).
2. Over- or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage
to chair parts.

COM AQUA TL UM REV. 02 12 AQUA TL
3. If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you
can.
FOOTRESTS
WARNING
Footrests will not bear the weight of this chair
1. At the lowest point, footrests should be AT LEAST 2 INCHES
off the ground. If set too LOW, they may “hang up” on
obstacles you can expect to find in normal use. This may
cause the chair to stop suddenly and tip forward.
2. To Avoid A Trip Or Fall When You Transfer:
a. Make sure your feet do not “hang up” or get caught in
the space between the footrests.
b. Avoid putting weight on the footrests, as the chair may
tip forward.
3. NEVER lift this chair by the footrests. Footrests detach and
will not bear the weight of this chair. Lift this chair only by
non-detachable parts of the main frame.
POSITIONING BELTS
WARNING
Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the rider’s posture.
Improper use of these belts may cause severe injury to or death of
the rider.
1. Make sure the rider cannot slide down in the wheelchair seat.
2. If this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or
suffocate due to pressure from the belts.
3. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they
interfere with breathing. You should be able to slide your
open hand, flat, between the belt and the rider.
4. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep the rider
from sliding down in the seat. Consult with the rider’s doctor,
nurse or therapist to find out if the rider needs such a device.
5. Use positioning belts only with a rider who can cooperate.
6. Make sure the rider can easily remove the belts in an
emergency.
7. NEVER Use Positioning Belts:
a. As a patient restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s
order.
b. On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
c. As a motor vehicle restraint. In an accident or sudden
stop the rider may be thrown from the chair. Wheelchair
seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury may
result from the belts or straps.
QUICK-RELEASE AXLES
WARNING
1. Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure that both quick-
release rear axles are locked. An unlocked axle may come off
during use and cause a fall.
2. An axle is not locked until the quick-release button pops out
fully. An unlocked axle may come off during use, resulting in a
fall, tip-over or loss of control and cause severe injury to the
rider or others.

COM AQUA TL UM REV. 02 13 AQUA TL
REAR WHEEL AXLES
WARNING
A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of
balance of your chair.
1. The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the more
likely it is that your chair will tip over backward.
2. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find the best rear
axle set-up for your chair. Do not change the set-up UNLESS
you are sure you are not at risk to tip over.
3. Adjust the rear wheel locks after you make any change to the
rear axles.
a. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
b. Make sure wheel locks are embedded in tires at least 1/8
inch when locked.
REAR WHEEL LOCKS
WARNING
Rear wheel locks are NOT designed to slow or stop a moving
wheelchair. Use them only to keep the rear wheels from rolling
when your chair is at a complete stop.
1. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair
when it is moving. Doing so may cause you to veer out of
control.
2. To keep the rear wheels from rolling, always set both rear
wheel locks when you transfer to or from your chair.
3. Low pressure in a rear tire may cause the wheel lock on that
side to slip and may allow the wheel to turn when you do not
expect it.
4. Make sure wheel locks are embed in tires at least 1/8 inch
when locked. If you fail to do so, the locks may not work.
