SAFETY
Leg support
(Panthera Swing)
Make sure the leg supports lock securely into position at the front when you replace them, ensuring
that they will not move when you need them in a fixed position
Sitting posture
The wrong sitting posture can cause pressure sores. If you are unsure, you should contact your pres-
criber straight away. Check that the side guards do not exert too much pressure on your thighs since
this can cause pressure sores. If the side guards exert too much pressure, the chair is either too nar-
row or the side guards need to be adjusted. The seat is designed to be used with a cushion.
Driving
If the distance between the lowest point of the footrest and the surface is small (less than 40 mm) the
footrest can get caught on bumps in the surface and cause you to fall forwards.
Transfers / lifting chair and user
(Fig. 2 and 3)
The chair is lightweight and for this reason it can move sideways when the brakes are on and you
transfer from the side. If you are unsure, you should practice this activity with your prescriber.
If the wheelchair is lifted with you sitting in it, the chair should always be lifted holding the frame and
not the backrest, the push handles, the wheels or any other parts. See
