WHEELCHAIR SAFETY AND HANDLING
“Safety and Handling” of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the wheelchair user
as well as the assistant. This manual points out the most common procedures and
techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the wheelchair. It is important
to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering
around the frequently encountered architectural barriers.
Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed on the
following pages have been used successfully by many users.
Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may
differ from those described in this manual. Probasics recognizes and encourages each
individual to try what works best for him/her in overcoming architectural obstacles that they
may encounter, however ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be
followed. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and
assistant with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.
