This information in this booklet is for Greencare EP1C wheelchair users,
occupants and carers. It is a useful reference for professionals prescribing or
handing over a wheelchair to a user. User Guides are issued with serial numbers
when supplied with a chair, and where appropriate with an accessory.
Wheelchairs are intended to provide mobility for people who are unable
to walk. The information provided is intended to help users understand the
wheelchair, and get the best performance out of it in safety. Different users
have specific requirements relating to them individually and the usage
environment, both indoors and in the case of this chair type occasionally
outdoors.
Wheelchair service staff responsible for handing over a wheelchair to a
user should explain its operation and compatibility with other equipment as
necessary. They should satisfy themselves as to the competence in use of the
chair in the environment in which it will be used. Occupant driving skills and
transfers in and out of the wheelchair, and accessibility within the intended
environment should be trialled before final hand over.
Greencare staff are available to assist with assessments and handovers. Users
should take time to read and understand this wheelchair information. They
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 easily last 3 years or more.
A service checklist is available on line for user reference. Recommended
frequency of service checks by a wheelchair technician depends upon an
assessment of usage and environmental factors are also available. For heavy
and frequent use a check every 3 months is recommended. If in doubt users
should contact their local wheelchair service or approved distributor.
Our website www.greencaremobility.com has downloadable copies of User
Guides, Assessment Guidance notes and other technical Information as well
as a list of accessories. There is also help for approved repairers on the website.
