GREENCARE DB1 – USER INFORMATION
This information is intended for wheelchair users,
occupants or carers. It is also a useful reference
for service professionals who are prescribing or
handing over a wheelchair to a user. Guides are
issued with serial numbers when supplied with a
chair, and also for information with an accessory.
The Greencare DB1 Wheelchair is intended to
provide mobility for people who are unable to
walk. This guide is for all users. The information
provided is intended to help users understand the
wheelchair, and get the best performance out of it
in safety. Different users may have specific
requirements relating to them individually and
their environment, both indoors and outdoors.
Greencare wheelchairs are built specifically to
meet the needs of individuals who have been
assessed by clinical professionals. Wheelchair
service staff responsible for handing over a
wheelchair to a user should explain its operation
and compatibility with other equipment as
necessary. Occupant transfers in and out of the
wheelchair, and accessibility within the intended
environment should be trialed, and the
wheelchair adjusted accordingly.
Greencare component system modularity allows
a chair to be fine tuned at handover, or
subsequently after a trial period by a trained
wheelchair technician. Greencare staff are
available to assist with assessments and
handovers. Users should take time to read and
understand the wheelchair information before
use. Users should understand how the
wheelchair is intended to function for them and
their responsibilities for its safe use and
maintenance. A wheelchair used and maintained
correctly should last 5 years or more.
A service checklist is included in this guide for
user reference. Recommended frequency of
service checks by a wheelchair technician
depends upon an assessment of usage and
environmental factors. For heavy frequent use a
check every 6 months is recommended. For
occasional use, a check every 36 months is
adequate. Where appropriate the recommended
service interval will be advised. If in doubt users
should contact their local wheelchair service.
