The Ypush attendant controlled wheelchair is
designed for use by adults (occupants) with a dis-
ability (up to the maximum recommended weight
– see Technical Specification) whom require a
manoeuvrable, comfortable wheelchair for indoor
and light duty outdoor use. The Ypush can be
used in manual or power-assisted modes.
The very compact footprint, lightweight
folding construction, power-steering & drive &
puncture-proof tyres makes the Brintal Ypush a
capable, manoeuvrable machine which can be
easily transported and offers freedom without
compromising on quality.
The Ypush is intended for use in the home, and
on paved or other smooth hard surfaces. Kerbs
should be avoided, however the Ypush can mount
obstacles up to that specified in the Technical
Specifications.
Attendants / caregivers could endanger them-
selves and or others if they are not capable of
driving the Ypush safely. It is essential that the
attendant (driver) is capable of driving the occu-
pant safely and that the occupant’s condition is
suited to this type of wheelchair.
Dealers will advise on the most suitable wheel-
chair from the Brintal range, but it is the respons-
ibility of attendants / caregivers to ensure that
they have the manual dexterity to drive the
vehicle, adequate sight and hearing to perceive
danger in time, and can at all times operate
the Ypush safely in the expected conditions.
Attendants / caregivers should regularly assess
their ability to operate the vehicle safely.
Ypush wheelchairs have relatively small wheels
and so should not be used on uneven, pot-holed,
rutted or slippery surfaces such as grass and
similar.
