3. Safety instructions
1. It is not recommended that you sit in your wheelchair during transportation. If possible, we
recommend that you use an approved seat in the vehicle and that the wheelchair is safely
stored in the cargo area of the vehicle.
2. If you have to sit in the wheelchair for a long time, you should shift your position regularly.
Make sure there are no seams, folds or other irregular pressure spots on the back or the
seat. This is to prevent sores (decubitus).
3. In confined areas ensure you do not get stuck when manoeuvring. If you get stuck, try and go
back the same way you came, in reverse. Make sure assistance can be called.
4. A wheelchair has protruding parts, that may cause injuries or damage in case of a collision.
So avoid collisions.
5. Never reach too far out of your wheelchair, as you may fall over.
6. Never drive over a threshold or any other obstacle at an acute or obtuse angle, as you may
keel over or get stuck.
7. A speed exceeding 5 km per hour (3 mph) can be dangerous if you have not exercised it
sufficiently.
8. Never negotiate a bend at a high speed and do not make sudden, sharp turns as you may fall.
9. Do not negotiate obstacles if you are not a hundred percent sure you can complete the
manoeuvre safely.
10. Never hang heavy objects on your wheelchair; you upset the balance and you may even fall
over.
11. Use anti-tilt supports against falling over backward if you are not an experienced wheelchair
driver.
12. The maximum tyre pressure of the rear wheels amounts to 6 bar (87 PSI). If the pressure is
too high, the tyre may run beside the rim. ( The information regarding the tire pressure on the
tire may differ from the maximum tire pressure advice form Veldink 4 kids. A tire pressure of
6 bar results in less wear and a comfortable ride.
