SAFETY REGULATIONS
Risk of jamming
While driving the chair, be aware of the risk of your fingers becoming jammed
between
the rear wheel and the chassis
, and
between the rear wheel and side guard
.
Ensure your fingers or loose items do not become
trapped in the rear wheel’s spokes
while driving. Moreover, take special care to ensure children do not place their hands
inside the spokes.
In the attachments between the footplate and the chassis there are openings where there
is a risk of entrapment.
Friction burns
There is a risk of burns to the hands and fingers if you brake the wheelchair at a high
speed with your hands on the rear wheels, as the friction between the hands and rear
wheels generates high heat.
SETTINGS
When adjusting the chair to suit your sitting posture and provide the mobility you require, it
is important that you make the adjustments in the correct order.
Firstly, adjust the chair to enable the correct sitting posture. Only then can you adjust the
balance of the wheelchair to provide the mobility you require. This must be done in the
correct sequence, as adjustments to the sitting posture affect the balance of the wheel
-
chair.
Bear in mind that a little effort adjusting the chair to your requirements initially will be of
considerable benefit for a long time to come.
Set aside a day to experiment with alternative settings and see how they feel, to ensure
the sitting posture and balance of the wheelchair are just right for you.
Adjustments to the wheelchair’s settings must take place in the following order
1. Seat upholstery
2. Foot plate setting
3. Backrest and backrest upholstery
4. The balance of the wheelchair
5. Hip belt
6. Push handle
