SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety is the main consideration when practicing with your chair. It is required that you
read and comprehend all the operating and safety instructions discussed in this manual.
And ensure your chair is correctly fitted and adjusted by your dealer or the prescribing
healthcare professional.
Make sure to engage the wheel locks before entering or leaving the chair. The wheel locks
are designed to prevent movement of the chair. It is preferable to ensure the front castors
are in the forward position before transferring in to or out of the chair. With the castors
in the forward position the wheel base of the chair is increased, therefore, offers more
stability.
DO NOT move forward in the seat while leaning forward out of the chair. If an object is
to be picked up from the floor, drive past it, then reverse so the front castors are in the
forward position. This gives the chair its greatest stability.
To maintain lateral stability do not reach further than the length of your arm. DO NOT
lean out of the chair as this could cause instability.
When transferring, DO NOT stand on the leg rests. Depending on the style of leg rests
either swing them away or fold them up before transferring.
When approaching a ramp, be sure of your own ability and your limitations in terms of
strength and endurance.
Please be aware that any adjustments on the rehab chair may affect the
handling and performance.

Before attempting a ramp the following basic safety rules should be considered
：
1. Surface of the ramp: Is it too slippery?
2. Degree of incline: Is it too steep to attempt alone?
3. Length of ramp: Is it too long for your endurance?
4. Obstacles: Are there any obstacles on the ramp that would necessitate assistance?
Be very careful when going up or down steep inclines
If it becomes necessary to stop when going up an incline, special care must be taken to
avoid abrupt or sudden forward movement. During continuous forward movements, the
chair is capable of falling backwards.
Always keep the chair under control when going down a ramp or incline. Speed should
be controlled at all times.
The user in the rehab chair and a curb is encountered,
caution should be taken to prevent the user being thrown forward:
1. With both motors disengaged, go down the curb, rear wheels first; making sure that
the user is square to the curb so that the rear wheels go down together.
2. To go up a curb forward, verify both front wheels are up together. This must be
accomplished with the motors disengaged.
Also try to avoid going up multiple steps and using escalators. Use the elevator instead.
