FEATURES
PNEUMATIC TIRES
Proper inflation extends the life of your tires and makes your wheelchair easier to operate.
1. Do not use this wheelchair if any of the tires are under or over inflated. Check weekly for
proper inflation level, as listed on the tire sidewall.
2. Low pressure in any of the tires may cause the chair to veer to one side and may result in
loss of control.
3. Over inflated tires may burst.
POSITIONING BELTS
Use positioning belts only to help support the rider’s posture.
WARNING Improper use of positioning belts may cause severe injury or death
of the rider.
1. Make sure that the rider does not slide down in the wheelchair seat. If this occurs, the rider
may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from the belts.
2. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they interfere with breathing. You
should be able to slide your open hand, flat, between the belt and the rider.
3. A pelvic wedge or similar device can help the rider from sliding down in the seat. Consult
with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if the rider needs such a device.
4. Use positioning belts only with a cooperative rider. Make sure that the rider can easily
remove the belts in an emergency.
5. Never use positioning belts:
A. As a patient restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.
B. On a rider who is comatose or agitate.
