Before Sitting in the Wheelchair
3.1. Inspecting the Wheelchair
Inspect the wheelchair. If you detect any problem, contact your dealership.
(1)
Anti-tip device
Check the anti-tip device which is installed to your
wheelchair frame to ensure that it is not deformed or
greatly damaged.
Check the safety wheels of the anti-tip device to
ensure that they are in the correct position for
operation.
In detail, refer to the wheelchair frame manual.
WARNING
● The wheelchair may tip over if operated when the anti-tip device is removed or the
safety wheels are not in the correct position. Do not operate the wheelchair when the
safety wheels are not in the correct position. Only have the safety wheels folded or
facing upwards when going over bumps with the assistant operations and other such
situations.
● Continuing to use the wheelchair with a problem in the wheelchair body or the wheels
may cause sudden damage to the wheelchair while traveling, and may result in a
rollover or fall.
(2)
Rear tire
Check to ensure that there is tire depth.
Check the surface of the tire to ensure that there are
no cracks in it.
Check to ensure that there is air in the tire. (Check
by pressing the tire with your finger.)
If not enough, pump up to 450 kPa.
(3)
Parking brakes
Check to make sure that the parking brakes are
applied.
Push the wheelchair with the brakes applied on both
wheels to ensure that the tires do not move.
Check the parking brakes to ensure that they do not
wobble.
