YOU, YOUR POWER CHAIR AND OTHERS
•
power chairs are strictly forbidden on motorways and their use is strongly discouraged on
highways with fast moving traffic.
•
On the Pavement, in Pedestrian Zones or in Supermarkets it is obvious that you must show as
much consideration and common sense to others as you expect from them.
•
When you cross the carriageway of a public road take extra care and allow time to cross,
observe the Highway code. Although you are not required by law to hold a driving license, you
are responsible and fully liable for proper operation. An important fact to bear in mind is that
you must not present a traffic hazard even in the event of a breakdown. The most common
cause may be discharged batteries. It is important to keep the batteries in a fully charged
condition, we can only repeat this warning at this stage. If you do suffer a breakdown for
whatever reason, you should immediately: seek the assistance of a passer-by. Explain where to
find the motor disengagement/declutching lever, ask him/her to switch to freewheel, so that the
power chair can be pushed by hand and moved. When in a safe place always ensure motor
gear boxes are re-engaged.
SAFEGUARDING OTHERS
•
If there are children in your family or household, keep the power chair away from them. It is not
intended to be used as a toy. It isn’t just about safeguarding the power chair, it is also about
protecting others and yourself from injury.
•
Finally, we want you to get the most out of your INVACARE power chair, ensuring that the
safety of yourself and others is never in jeopardy. If you are in any doubt about safe techniques,
handling or care of the power chair, contact a recognised expert before putting yourself and
others at risk.
