SAFETY REGULATIONS
Hot surfaces
If the wheelchair is exposed to sunshine for long periods, its surfaces may become ex-
tremely warm.
Risk of jamming
While driving the chair, be aware of the risk of your fingers becoming jammed between the
rear wheel and the brake, and between the rear wheel and side guard or armrest.
Ensure your fingers or loose items do not become trapped in the rear wheel’s spokes
while driving. Moreover, take special care to ensure children do not place their hands
inside the spokes.
SETTINGS
When adjusting the chair to suit your sitting posture and provide the mobility you require, it
is important that you make the adjustments in the correct order.
Firstly, adjust the chair to enable the correct sitting posture. Only then can you adjust the
balance of the wheelchair to provide the mobility you require. This must be done in the
correct sequence, as adjustments to the sitting posture affect the balance of the wheel
-
chair.
Bear in mind that a little effort adjusting the chair to your requirements initially will be of
considerable benefit for a long time to come.
Set aside a day to experiment with alternative settings and see how they feel, to ensure
the sitting posture and balance of the wheelchair are just right for you.
Adjustments to the wheelchair’s settings must take place in the following order:
1)
The tension of the seat upholstery.
2)
The height of the footrest.
3)
The tension of the calf strap.
4)
The angle of the backrest.
5)
The tension of the backrest upholstery.
6)
The balance of the wheelchair.
7)
The brake settings.
