SECTION 12 - 2
OPERATION OF WHEELCHAIR
Descending from obstacle:
Descending from shallow obstacles can be dealt
with by rolling forward and keeping the body in an
upright position.
Higher obstacles can be dealt with by reversing.
Bring the two large wheels to the edge of the
obstacle and slowing easing down using the push
rim as a brake and the body leaning forwards to
avoid tipping.
Static ability
Reaching forward, to the side or to the back of
the wheelchair will affect the stability of the
wheelchair.
Do not take risks, especially when chair is not
on a level plane.
Seat belt
If there is a need for a lap type posture restraining belt to
be fitted to the G1/G3 Wheelchair Chair we recommend
that you contact your nearest agent or Glide Rehabilitation
Products direct for correct fitting procedures.
