TRANSPORTING YOUR PRIDE STYLUS
Currently, there are no approved stan-
dards for tie-down systems used to secure
your wheelchair to a moving vehicle of any
type while you or anyone else is seated in
the wheelchair. Although your wheelchair
may be equipped with a positioning belt, this
belt is not designed to provide proper re-
straint during motor vehicle transport. Any-
one travelling in a motor vehicle should be
properly secured in the motor vehicle seat
with safety belts securely fastened. The
Pride Stylus was designed to be folded and
stored in a secure location such as in the
boot of a car.
NOTE: You can also remove the drive
wheels to make the wheelchair more
compact. See figure 14.
To lift or carry the Pride Stylus:
1.
Fold the Pride Stylus.
2.
With one hand, grab and squeeze to-
gether both seat cane handles. See
figure 6.
3.
With the other hand, grab and squeeze
together both seat base rails.
WARNING! Prevent injury. If you re-
move the drive wheels, make sure
the quick-release buttons snap into
place when reinstalling a wheel. See
figure 14.
PRE-RIDE CHECKS
Pride recommends that you practice us-
ing 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 following 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.
