CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
WARNING:
Do not go up or down stairs without the assistance of another
person or with user in the chair. If devices such as ramps or elevators are
available, please use them. If they are not available, then the chair should
be carried over the obstacle by two people without the user in the chair.
WARNING:
Always secure user with belt first, before making any other
adjustments.
WARNING:
Before removing the user from the chair and before returning
the user to it, always engage the wheel locks. Never remove or place user
without engaging the wheel locks.
WARNING:
Never leave the user unattended in the chair even when they
are strapped in and the wheel locks are engaged.
WARNING:
Do not stand on the foot support when getting into or out of the
chair.
WARNING:
When the user reaches for objects in front, to the side, or be-
hind the chair, be sure that they do not lean out of the chair too far since the
shift in the center of gravity might cause the chair to tilt or tip over.
WARNING:
Positioning belts should never be used as a safety restraint de-
vice in a motor vehicle when transporting chair with occupant. An additional
WC19 (ISO 7176-19) compliant automotive type seat belt is required when
the chair is used in transport vehicles.
WARNING:
During transit, a five-point harness should be used for occupant
weight less than 51lb (23kg).

Do not use the chair unless it has proper tire pressure.
(Front 36 psi/ Rear 30 psi, 248kPa/200kPa, 2.5BAR/2.0BAR) Do not over
inflate the tires. Failure to follow these instructions may cause the tire to
explode and cause harm. Tire size and maximum pressure are listed on the
wheel.
