at a high risk of injury.
M. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
WARNING
For The Rider:
Make sure that each person who helps you reads and
follows all warnings and instructions that apply.
For Attendants:
1. Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe methods
best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.
2. Tell the rider what you plan to do, and explain what you expect the
rider to do. This will put the rider at ease and reduce the risk of an
accident.
3.
If your chair is equipped with push handles
, check to make sure push
handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
4.
To prevent injury to your back, use good posture and proper body
mechanics. When you lift or support the rider or tilt the chair, bend your
knees slightly and keep your back as upright and straight as you can.
5.
Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.
6.
When you descend a curb or single step, slowly lower the chair in one
easy movement. Do not let the chair drop the last few inches to the
ground. This may damage the chair or injure the rider.
7.
To avoid tripping, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way.
8.
Whenever you aren’t attending the wheelchair, ALWAYS use the
wheel-lock to secure the rear wheels, and lock the anti-tip tubes in
place.

recommends replacement of the chair.
