Potential Risks, Cautions &
Warnings
•
The user is at risk if the Sovereign is not
properly specified and adjusted to their
particular requirements.
•
Do
not
stand on the sliding footrest (if
applicable) as this may cause the chair to
become unstable and tip forwards.
•
Always
retract the sliding footrest (if
applicable) before allowing the user to stand
up from the chair.
•
Do not
try moving the chair without first
ensuring that all wheels are unlocked.
•
This chair should be moved unoccupied
over any significant distance. For a small
movement, if occupied ensure the sliding
footrest is in place.
•
Do not
sit on the arms of the chair as this
may exert undue pressure on the structure
of the chair over time and cause damage to
the covering. It may also make the stability
of the chair unsafe.
•
If a legrest has been accessorised with the
chair,
do not
allow it to be used as a seat.
•
Users should be
regularly
checked and
supervised when in the chair to mitigate the
user moving or sliding into an inappropriate
position.
•
If using a lap-belt or pelvic positioner
ensure the user is regularly supervised to
avoid moving into an inappropriate position.
•
Care should be taken not to over tighten the
lap-belt or pelvic positioner in order to
reduce harm to the user.
