HD Balance | Manual
• In addition, some users have involuntary movements or are very active, and want to grab hold of
solid objects (e.g. door frames, handles). Use caution with these users and be aware when their
behaviour can tip the wheelchair. Avoid parking near fixed objects.
RISK OF PINCHING
• Since the chair has many different configuration options, the caregiver should be aware of the
user’s position in the chair, to avoid the possibility that the user could become trapped. Normally
the risk of pinching is small.
• Remember that the user cannot always communicate that a pinching injury is occurring.
MOVING IN TO AND OUT OF THE WHEELCHAIR
• Moving in to and out of the wheelchair can be done in different way depending on the user’s ability to
actively participate. It can be done independently, with help of one or two caregivers, or with a lift.
• The wheelchair brakes must be locked before moving in or out.
• Remove or fold in legrests fully so they do not hinder. If needed foot plates can be folded up.
• Seat tilt and back recline may need to be adjusted per the particular needs of the user.
• Caregivers need to be mindful of their ergonomic positioning when assisting.
LIFTING
This advice is general since there are many different lifting aids available.
•
When lifting in and out of the chair, be very attentive that the user’s arms and legs do not get
caught. Fold in the leg rests or remove them so that they do not get in the way. Follow the lifting
aid instructions carefully.
• Often training is a requirement for operating the lifting aid.
CE MARKED ACCESSORIES / CUSTOMIZING
• HD Rehab has a wide range of CE-marked accessories that are authorized for use with the
wheelchair while maintaining the CE marking. There are also combination agreements covering
accessories from other manufacturers that are approved for use on HD Balance while maintaining
the CE marking. Accessories that have not been approved may not be used.
• Any change to the wheelchair or use of accessories not certified and CE-marked by HD Rehab is a
special adaptation. Wheelchairs customized without HD Rehab approval do not retain HD Rehab
CE marking and the warranty is void. A transfer of liability then occurs. Always consult HD Rehab if
unsure about what applies. We can help with special adaptations for individual users.
DAILY FUNCTIONAL CHECK
To ensure that the chair works as it should, a daily function test should be performed before the user is
positioned in the seat. See section 6. Daily functional checks .
REPLACEMENT PARTS AND SERVICE
If the wheelchair is in need of replacement parts or service contact the reseller.
