Safety Precautions
WARNING
Failure to Adhere to the Following Safety Precautions Could Result in Serious Injury or Death!
1. Do not leave any person unattended or unsecured while in the Sandcruiser™.
2. Always ensure the seatbelt is properly adjusted for the user.
3. Always set the anti-tip/ parking brake when not in use or in motion.
4. Always maintain physical control of the Sandcruiser™ All-Terrain/ Beach Wheelchair.
5.
Weight Limitations:
- Maximum user weight - 120kg (265 lbs).
Note: The Wheel
EEZ
® balloon wheels float; therefore, it is imperative to observe the users
weight in relation to the flotation of the wheels.
6. Environmental Precautions:
- Maintain physical control of the Sandcruiser™ when in or near the water.
-- Use of two attendants is encouraged when water depth is greater than 15cm (6 inches).
- Observe uneven terrain to prevent tipping (i.e., slopes, inclines, angles, etc.).
- Observe tidal changes, wave action, wind speed and direction, and extreme temperatures.
- Observe water depth and wave action when in the water. The balloon wheels will float - do not exceed
water levels above the center of the wheels.
- Sun and heat will cause metal parts to become extremely hot – use caution when handling.
7. Mechanical Precautions:
- Ensure all lock pins, clips, fasteners, seatbelts, etc. are secure prior to operation.
- Ensure Wheel
EEZ
® balloon wheels are properly inflated, 0.14 - 0.28 bar (2 - 4 psi).
8. Anti-tip Assembly/ Parking Brake:
- The anti-tip/ parking brake mechanism is the one of the most important safety features of the
Sandcruiser™, and its use is essential to the safety of the user/rider. This component doubles as
a wheel brake and anti-tipping device. When properly used it will prevent free-rolling of the
chair, and it will prevent rearward tipping of the chair.
Note: Refer to the Assembly Instructions for proper use of the anti-tip/ parking brake.
