SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 05

1. You are strongly advised against sitting in the
wheelchair while it is transported in a vehicle. We
recommend you use a properly approved seat in
the vehicle and have the wheelchair safely stored in
the boot of the vehicle.
2. If you have to sit in the wheelchair for a long time,
you should shift your position regularly. Make sure
there are no seams, folds or other irregular
pressure spots on the back or the seat. This is to
prevent sores (decubitus).
3. In confined areas ensure you do not get stuck when
manoeuvring. If you get stuck, try and go back the
same way you came, in reverse. Make sure
assistance can be called.
4. A wheelchair has protruding parts, that may cause
injuries or damage in case of a collision. So avoid
collisions.
5. Never reach too far out of your wheelchair, as you
may fall over.
6. Never drive over a threshold or any other obstacle
at an acute or obtuse angle, as you may keel over
or get stuck.
7. A speed exceeding 5 km per hour (3 mph) can be
dangerous if you have not exercised it sufficiently.
8. Never negotiate a bend at a high speed and do not
make sudden, sharp turns as you may fall..
