Operation
In normal use the chair is stable, but if the user’s
weight is applied to one side by leaning out or
backwards on two legs the centre of gravity may
change and stability may be reduced. Similarly, if
additional weight or force is applied by care staff when
the chair is occupied stability may be reduced.
•
Users must not sit on the chair arms
•
The chair must be placed on a flat level surface
•
The chair is not approved for hand propulsion or
to be used as a portering chair
•
Following purchase it is recommended that
supervisory staff are trained, so that correct
positioning is maintained.

Advice should be sought from a qualified
