handling.

4. Cautions
The attendant who is to operate the wheelchair should familiarise themselves with the operation of the wheelchair
and its running and parking brakes both before and after an occupant is seated and the wheelchair is used. Note
that the parking brakes are operated by hand. See section on brakes in this manual. The attendant should consider
their own wellbeing before operating the wheelchair; they should understand their limitations and strength and not
attempt anything that is beyond their capability so as to ensure the wheelchair occupant’s and their own safety.
The attendant should ensure that the handles of the wheelchair are firmly held to control the wheelchair while it is
in motion and while the parking brakes are not applied. Attendants should take particular care if gloves are worn
as these may restrict their grip on the handles of the wheelchair.
Avoid the occupant changing their centre of gravity by leaning or reaching to one side or the other from the
wheelchair as this upper body movement of the occupant may cause the wheelchair to tip over. When ascending
slopes with the wheelchair ensure that the occupant’s body is leant slightly forward. Do not carry extra weight
such as bags, pets or third parties on the wheelchair as this will add excess weight and cause instability to the
wheelchair.
Whenever the wheelchair is brought to rest, this should be on level ground and both parking brakes should always
be firmly engaged. Transfers of the occupant to and from the wheelchair should always take place on level ground
in a safe environment. Pay particular attention when using the wheelchair in a public traffic area and never leave
the occupant in the wheelchair unsupervised.
It is advisable to plan your wheelchair route beforehand and take particular care in wet or icy weather or if trav-
ersing soft ground. Look out for kerbs and uneven surfaces. Obstacles should be avoided as hitting them may dis-
place the occupant as well as cause damage to the wheelchair.
