Operating Instructions
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending,
reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a
qualified health professional before attempting active use of the transit
wheelchair.
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the transit wheelchair. If
loose and/or worn, replace immediately.
If the transit wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 38°C or below
0°C), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure hand grips DO NOT
twist on the transit wheelchair handle—otherwise damage or injury may occur.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat as this
may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees as this may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as
this may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are
reaching, as this may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT tilt the transit wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors—serious injury
may occur.
NEVER leave an unoccupied transit wheelchair on an incline.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving transit wheelchair with the wheel locks. Wheel
locks are not brakes.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the transit wheelchair, every precaution
should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both castors parallel to the
object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the transit
wheelchair, ALWAYS lock both hand brakes (locks) before transferring to and
from the transit wheelchair.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the transit wheelchair unless it is fully open.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline which has a film of water, ice or
oil on it.
DO NOT attempt to ride over kerbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your
transit wheelchair to tip, causing bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair.
DO NOT over tighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage
to the frame tubing.
