7. SAFETY
BODY INCLINATION AND EXTENSION
Reaching out your hands or tilting your body will affect the weight balance of the electric
wheelchair. If you do not position your body correctly, you may fall off or tip over from the
wheelchair.
Followings are a few measures against the risk of making users injured or damaging the power
wheelchair:
1. If you have to shift your body weight such as lifting your body at one side or leaving the
seat, please do not lean your body out of the range of the seat cushion. When moving
forward on your seat, do not lean your body excessively. Your hip must be always in
contact with the seat cushion.
2. Do not reach your hands to get the things farther than your capability as this may result in
falling due to lost balance.
3. Under no circumstance should you try to pick up anything through the space between
your knees or in front of your body.
4. When you extend your body, do not exert force on the footrest to avoid the wheelchair
from tipping over, which may result in serious injury.
5. Do not lean against the top of the backrest in case of falling and damaging the backrest.
1. Move your wheelchair as close as possible to the target position.
2. If you move your wheelchair beyond the target position, please move
backwards to approach it.
3. After reaching the target position, please turn off the power and hold
the handrail tightly, which prevents the risk of falling if the electric
wheelchair is tilted.
GETTING DRESSED ON THE WHEELCHAIR
Note:
When you get dressed in the wheelchair, please make sure the power is off to prevent the
wheelchair from moving due to accidental touch of the joystick.
