Safety requires the constant attention of the wheelchair user and the
attendant. It is extremely important to learn and always use safe methods
of performing basic daily activities. Always consult your healthcare pro-
fessional to determine those methods most suitable for your individual
abilities.
Protect yourself and your wheelchair by having your Traveler SE serviced
regularly. Whenever any part of your Traveler SE is not functioning prop-
erly, contact your Graham-Field dealer immediately, as a hazardous situ-
ation could result, causing personal injury or damage to your wheelchair.
ONLY EXCELLENT CONDITION IS ACCEPTABLE WHERE SAFETY IS
CONCERNED. Periodic inspection, adjustment, and replacement of worn
parts will provide many years of superb performance.
