Safety warnings
-
read all instructions and safety warnings before use including the manual available at www.leitner.com.au/manual
-use care and common sense when operating the wheelchair. Ride slowly, check if the path is clear and be prepared at any time to bring the
wheelchair to a stop. Do not make any sudden or harsh joystick movements and keep your centre of balance inside the wheelchair. Do not lean
out of the wheelchair as it may flip.
-Modifying the wheelchair will void warranty
-When entering the wheelchair make sure the brakes are on, that the wheelchair is switched off and that the user is balanced and
won’t flip the
wheelchair. Make sure the safety folding clamp at the back of the wheelchair is closed before occupying the chair.
-do not wear clothes which may get entangled in the wheels.
-take extra care when moving the wheelchair in reverse
-avoid obstacles. Even small obstacles may cause the wheelchair to loose balance. Use ramps where possible.
-when folding the wheelchair keep body parts clear of moving wheelchair parts to avoid injury or squeezing of body parts
-always bring a communication device with you, like a mobile phone, so that you can contact a suitable person to help you with transport in case
of an unlikely breakdown of the wheelchair. It is recommended to buy RACV emergency wheelchair assist https://www.racv.com.au/onthe-
road/roadside-assistance/wheelchair-scooter-assist.html or call RACV at 13 72 28
