7.3 Delivery
The following steps should be performed for the safe delivery of the wheelchair:
•
Seating trials were conducted with the user while adjusting the settings. Proper positioning according to med
ical aspects must once again be verified upon delivery (seating position, position of the arm rests/footrests).
•
In order to ensure that the seat tilt feature operates smoothly, final verification of the seating centre of gravity is
required with the seated user and the designated attendant; adjustments must be made if necessary. The seat
ing centre of gravity must be set so that the attendant can change the angle effortlessly.
•
Attendants and, if possible, the user must be instructed in the safe use of the wheelchair. In particular, the
enclosed Instructions for Use (User) are to be used for this purpose.
•
The Instructions for Use (User) must be provided to the user/attendant upon delivery of the wheelchair.
