Operating Instructions

 

 

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, 
reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a 
qualified health professional before attempting active use of the transport 
wheelchair. 
 
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the transport wheelchair. If 
loose and/or worn, replace immediately. 
If the transport wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 38°C or 
below 0°C), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure hand grips 
DO NOT twist on the transport wheelchair handle—otherwise damage or injury 
may occur. 
 
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat as this 
may tip the wheelchair. 
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by 
reaching down between your knees as this may tip the wheelchair. 
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as 
this may tip the wheelchair. 
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are 
reaching, as this may tip the wheelchair. 
DO NOT tilt the transport wheelchair without assistance. 
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors—serious injury 
may occur. 
NEVER leave an unoccupied transport wheelchair on an incline. 
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving transport wheelchair with the wheel locks. 
Wheel locks are not brakes. 
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the transport wheelchair, every 
precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both castors parallel 
to the object you are transferring onto.  When transferring to and from the 
transport wheelchair, ALWAYS lock both hand brakes (locks) before transferring 
to and from the transport wheelchair. 
DO NOT sit or transfer into the transport wheelchair unless it is fully open. 
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. 
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°. 
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline which has a film of water, ice or 
oil on it. 
DO NOT attempt to ride over kerbs or obstacles.  Doing so may cause your 
transport wheelchair to tip, causing bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair. 
DO NOT over tighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage 
to the frame tubing.
