ROLLING BACKWARDS
WARNING
Use extra care when you move your chair backward.
Your chair is most stable when you propel yourself forward.
You may lose control or tip over if one of the rear wheels hits an
object and stops rolling.
1. Propel your chair slowly and smoothly.
2. If your chair has anti-tip tubes, make sure to lock them in
place.
3. Stop often and check to be sure your path is clear.
REACHING OR LEANING
WARNING
If you reach or lean it will affect the center of balance of your
chair. This may cause you to fall or tip over. When in doubt, ask for
help or use a device to extend your reach.
1. NEVER reach or lean if you must shift your weight sideways or
rise up off the seat.
2. NEVER reach or lean if you must move forward in your seat to
do so. Always keep your buttocks in contact with the
backrest.
3. NEVER reach with both hands (you may not be able to catch
yourself to prevent a fall if the chair tips).
4. NEVER reach or lean to the rear unless your chair has anti-tip
tubes locked in place.
5. DO NOT reach or lean over the top of the seat back. This may
damage one or both backrest tubes and cause you to fall.
6. If You Must Reach Or Lean:
a. Do not lock the rear wheels. This creates a tip point and
makes a fall or tip-over more likely.
b. Do not put pressure on the footrests.
c. Move your chair as close as you can to the object you
wish to reach.
RAMPS AND SLOPES
WARNING
Riding on a slope, which includes a ramp or side hill, will change
the center of balance of your chair. Your chair is less stable when
it is at an angle. Anti-tip tubes may not prevent a fall or tip-over.
1. Do not use your chair on a slope steeper than 10%.
2. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can. (Do
not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.)
3. Do not turn or change direction on a slope.
4. Always stay in the CENTER of the ramp. Make sure ramp is
wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may fall
over the edge.
5. Do not stop on a steep slope. If you stop, you may lose
control of your chair.
6. NEVER use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair.
This is likely to cause your chair to veer out of control.
7. Beware Of:
a.
Wet or slippery surfaces.
b. A change in grade on a slope (or a lip, bump or
depression).
