WARNING!
The position of the footrest, camber bar, rear seat height, anti-tipper and the
tension of the upholstery, are directly related to the chairs stability. Any change to one or
any combination of the four may cause the chair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME
caution when using a new seating position for the first time.
WARNING
! DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick
them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
2.6. WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN AND SEAT RESTRAINTS
RGK
recommends that wheelchair users are NOT to be transported in vehicles of any kind
while seated in wheelchairs.
RGK
recommend that users of wheelchairs should be
transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the
original restraints made available in the vehicle.
RGK
cannot and does not recommend any
wheelchair transportation systems.
WARNING!
It is the obligation of the dealer, therapist or other health care professional to
determine if a seating restraint is required, and that it is used correctly, to ensure the safety
of the user and others. Failure to use suitable restraints or procedures could result in
personal injury or property damage.
WARNING!
ALWAYS wear your seat restraint, if recommended. Failure to use the
recommended seat restraint could result in personal injury or property damage.
2.7. FEET POSITION
Always strap your feet into position using the provided strap. The front of either foot should
not protrude past the back edge of the front drop bar tube. This protects the user from
personal injury and ensures the correct size chair is being used by the user.
WARNING!
If the users’ feet do not fit behind the back of the drop bar, the user requires a
larger chair. Use in this condition may result in personal injury.
2.8. TYRE PRESSURE
DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tyre pressure, which is measured in
pounds per square inch (psi) or kilo Pascals (kPa). Tyre pressure can be found on the wall
of the tyre.
WARNING!
DO NOT over inflate the tyres. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause
the tyre to explode and cause bodily harm.
