Pride Stylus 405/436

PRE-RIDE CHECKS

Pride recommends that you practice using the wheelchair in the presence of a

trained attendant. A trained attendant is a healthcare professional specifically
trained to assist wheelchair users in various daily activities. Perform the follow-
ing pre-ride checks before using your wheelchair to help ensure your wheelchair
operates smoothly and safely:

ü

Check for loose or missing screws, nuts, and bolts. Replace or tighten them
as necessary.

ü

Check the tyres. Look for uneven wear, holes, or tyre/wheel separation. If
they look excessively worn, then have them replaced.

ü

Visually inspect pneumatic tyres for punctures. Confirm correct air pressure
as marked on the side of the tyre. Always use a pressure-regulated air sup-
ply to inflate the tyres.

ü

Check the handrims (Stylus 405). Make sure that they are fastened securely
to the wheels.

ü

Check the park brakes. Make sure they work properly. If they don’t, instruc-
tions on how to adjust them are provided in this manual.

WARNING! The park brakes are designed to keep your chair stationary
while you are parked. They are not designed to stop the wheelchair during
driving. Do not use either of the park brakes to stop the wheelchair while
driving it. This can cause your wheelchair to become unstable and tip.  Fail-
ure to heed can result in personal injury and/or damage to your wheelchair

ü

Check that your wheelchair drives straight and does not pull to one side.
Pulling to one side could be an indication that a wheel bearing needs to be
replaced.

ü

Check the caster wheels. Look for uneven wear, holes, or tyre/wheel separa-
tion. If they look excessively worn, then have them replaced. Make sure
they swivel freely. If they don’t, the swivel bearings may need to be replaced.

ü

Check the seat for sagging, rips, or tears.

ü

If your wheelchair is equipped with a positioning belt, make sure it is fas-
tened securely to the wheelchair and there are no rips or tears.

ü

Check the anti-tip wheels (optional equipment). Make sure that they are
attached securely.

If you discover a problem, contact your authorised Pride Dealer for as-

sistance.
