Sports and weight training
• Our wheelchairs are not designed for use during the practice of sports or weight
training. Weightlifting may damage the wheelchair by exceeding the maximum
load capacity and will void the warranty.
Street use
Physipro Inc. wheelchairs are designed primarily for residential use. Use on public
roads is strongly discouraged. If you must use your wheelchair on a public road, the
following warnings and precautions must be observed.
• Be aware that because of the low position of your wheelchair, motorists may have
difficulty seeing you. It is therefore important to always establish eye contact with
the driver before moving in a parking lot or on a public road. Always yield to the
motorist if you are not sure of their intentions.
• Reflective safety stickers are available as an option. These stickers must be affixed
to the wheelchair by the occupant or an attendant if you plan to use your
wheelchair at night or in poor lighting conditions. Wearing reflective clothing is
also advised.
• When moving on a public road, be extremely careful and pay close attention to the
dangers and obstacles on the road, such as potholes and uneven or cracked
surfaces.
• Never engage on roads with heavy traffic.
Assisting a wheelchair occupant
• Check with a qualified professional on the best methods and techniques to adopt
to safely assist a wheelchair occupant.
• Ensure that the push handles are well-adjusted and securely fastened. Inspect the
handle grip covers, the grip covers should not slide on the push handles and must
not show signs of wear and tear.
• Always engage wheel locks when occupant is left alone.
• Never use detachable or removable parts to lift the wheelchair, these parts may
detach and cause injury to the occupant or yourself. Always use the rigid parts of
the frame to lift the wheelchair.
• Always maintain a good posture when lifting or tilting the wheelchair. Remember
to keep your back straight and to bend your knees when lifting.
WARNING
Failure to observe these warnings and precautions increases the risk of
losing control of the wheelchair, tipping over, or falling and may result in
serious injury to the occupant or other individuals and may damage the
wheelchair.
