To determine and establish your particular safety
limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring
activities in several combinations in the presence of
a qualified healthcare professional before attempting
active use of the wheelchair.

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to
move forward in the seat.
–
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick
them up from the floor by reaching down between
your knees.
–
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery
to reach objects from behind as this may cause the
wheelchair to tip over.
–
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward
the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may
tip over.
–
DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance.
–
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair
between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the
wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to
reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to
the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain
the wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels
from moving.

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse
slopes greater than 9°.

Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and
cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair.

removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of
any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair

anti-tippers may not provide the same level of
protection against tip over. Extra caution MUST be
observed when traversing such surfaces.

Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments
should be performed while the wheelchair is
unoccupied.
–
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch
as the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP is an option on

seat positioning strap), Top End strongly recommends
ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional
safeguard for the wheelchair user.
