The
weight limit
for the
Gizmo
non-tilt
is a 200 lb. person. If the person
exceeds the weight limit, damage to the chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control
may cause severe injury to the rider or others.
Every wheelchair is different.
Become familiar with your chair before you
begin riding. Start slowly, with easy, smooth strokes. Be careful not to use too
much force, which might result in tipping over, damage to your chair, a fall or
loss of control, which may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
Reduction of Risk of an Accident:
1. BEFORE riding, you should be trained in the safe use of this chair by your
health care advisor.
2. Practice bending, reaching and transfers until you know the limit of your
ability. In order to avoid tipping over, have someone help you, until you
know what can cause a fall.
3. Be aware that you must develop your own methods for safe use best suited
to your level of function and ability.
4. NEVER try a new maneuver on your own, until you are sure you can do it
safely.
5. Get to know the areas where you plan to use your chair. Look for hazards
and learn how to avoid them.
6. Always use anti-tip tubes downward, so as you are not at risk to tip over.
If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
Safety Checklist
Before each use of your chair:
1. Make sure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly. Check for
noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (They may indicate low tire
pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair).
2. Repair any problems. Consult your Freedom Designs, Inc. authorized dealer
for help in finding or correcting the problem.
3. Check to see that both quick-release axles are locked. When locked, the axle
button will “pop out” fully. If not locked, the wheel may come off and cause
you to fall.
4. Anti-tip tubes need to be locked in the downward position during usage.
If you fail to heed these warnings, damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
