IV. WARNINGS
B. General Warnings
WARNING: Do not exceed the weight limit of 200 pounds for the Rogue XP. This is the
combined weight of user and all items carried. Exceeding the weight limit can cause
damage to your chair or increase the likelihood of a fall or tip back resulting in severe injury
or death to the user or others.
DANGER: Do not use this chair for weight training.The movement of the additional weight
will alter the center of gravity of the wheelchair increasing the likelihood of a tip-over which
can cause damage to your chair or cause severe injury or death to the user or others.
WARNING: If your wheelchair is equipped with inflatable tires, make sure the tires have
been inflated to the correct tire pressure as indicated on the side wall of the tire. Your
wheelchair provider can determine if you have inflatable tires. Using your wheelchair without
properly inflated tires can have an effect on the stability of the wheelchair causing it to tip over
resulting in death or injury to the user or others.
DANGER: Do not attempt to push your wheelchair up or down ramps or traverse across a
slope of greater than 9 degrees. This is dangerous and increases the likelihood of a fall or tip
back resulting in severe injury or death to the user or others.
WARNING: Do not attempt to push your wheelchair up an incline that is slick or coated
with ice, oil or water. This can cause an unstable situation resulting in death or injury to the
user or others.
DANGER: Do not lean over the side or back of the wheelchair to extend your reach. This
may cause you to fall out of the wheelchair or the wheelchair to tip over resulting in injury or death.

IV. WARNINGS
B. General Warnings
DANGER: Do not attempt to the lift the wheelchair by holding on to removable parts such
as the arms or footrests. Only lift the wheelchair by holding on to the frame. This may cause a fall
or loss of control and result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the bolts and hardware that attaches various components
together on the frame. This could cause serious damage and affect the safety and durability of
the wheelchair.
C. Positioning Belts
Positioning belts are designed to assist with proper positioning within the wheelchair. They are
not designed as seat belts. Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the user’s posture.
Misuse of positioning belts may cause severe injury to or death of the user.
• Ensure the user does not slide underneath the positioning belt in the wheelchair seat. If this
occurs, the user’s breathing may be hampered causing death or serious injury.
• The positioning belt should have a snug fit; tight enough to hold their position, but not so
tightas to restrict breathing. Y o u s h o u l d b e a b l e t o s l i d e y o urhand between the positioning
belt and the user.
•NEVER Use Positioning Belts:
a. As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.
b. On a user who is unconscious.
c. As an occupant restraint in a motor vehicle. A positioning belt is not designed to
replace a seat belt that is attached to the frame of a vehicle, which would be required
of an effective seat belt. During a sudden stop, with the force of the stop, the user
would be thrown forward. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further
injury may result from the belts or straps.
DANGER: Failure to comply with the instruction above could result in serious injury or death.

IV. WARNINGS
D. Riding Your Wheelchair
Your chair is designed for use on solid, flat surfaces such as concrete, asphalt and flooring. Use
caution if you push your wheelchair on a wet or slick surface.
WARNING: Do not push your chair in sand, loose soil or over rough terrain. This may cause
a loss of stability and result in a fall or loss of control and cause serious injury or death.
DANGER: In most states, wheelchairs are not legal for use on public roads. If you find you must
push on a public road, be alert to the danger of motor vehicles. Use of a wheelchair on a public
road can cause serious injury or death.
WARNING: Obstacles and road hazards (such as potholes and broken pavement) can
damage your chair and may cause a fall, tip-over or loss of control. Failure to comply with
this instruction could result in serious injury or death.
DANGER: Do not ride your wheelchair on an escalator. Use of a wheelchair on an escalator can
cause serious injury or death.
To minimize these risks:
1) Keep a lookout for danger-scan the area well ahead of your chair as you ride.
2) Make sure the floor areas where you live and work are level and free of obstacles.
3) Remove or cover threshold strips between rooms.
4) Install a ramp at entry or exit doors. Make sure there is not a drop off at the bottom
of the ramp.
5) To Help Correct Your Center of Balance:
a. Lean your upper body FORWARD slightly as you go UP over an obstacle.
b. Press your upper body BACKWARD as you go DOWN from a higher to a
lower level.
6) If your chair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place before you go UP over an obsta-
cle.
7) Keep both of your hands on the handrims as you go over an obstacle.
8) Never push or pull on an object (such as furniture or a doorjamb) to propel your
chair.
9) Do not operate your wheelchair on roads, streets or highways.
10) Do not attempt to push over obstacles without assistance.
