Water, sand, leftovers, street refuse etc.
When using your wheelchair you may encounter the
above-mentioned pollutants which negatively affects the
operation of your wheelchair.
1. Prevent your wheelchair from being partly or wholly
submerged in water. If your wheelchair gets wet, or
if you use water to clean the wheelchair, dry it again
as well and as quickly as you can.
2. Sand, leftovers, street refuse, hair etc. have a
corroding, and therefore wearing effect on moving
parts. See chapter 10, directions for cleaning.
Support by escort
Warning:
Ignoring the warnings given below may result in tilting or
falling and cause injuries to the user and/or the escort.
User: Make sure you know your escort, be aware of what
he/she can do. Make sure he/she is acquainted with the
warnings and safety and technical instructions regarding
the use of your wheelchair.
Make sure the escort knows your wishes and realises
what you expect.
Equilibrium point
Warning:
The moment when the wheelchair tilts forward,
backward or sideward depends on the equilibrium point
and the stability. The most important adjustment of
your wheelchair is the position of the seat in relation to
the rear wheels. The further to the back the seat is
positioned the better the wheelchair can be
manoeuvred, but the risk of the wheelchair tilting
backward increases as well.
