2.7 Safety Information on Wheelchairs with a
Lifter
WARNING!
Risk of injury by moving parts
– Never let objects get caught in the space
underneath a raised lifter.
– Make sure that neither you nor anyone else is
injured by placing hands, feet or other body
extremities under the raised seat.
– Should you not be able to view under the seat,
for example, due to limited manoeuvrability,
turn the wheelchair once on its own axle before
you lower the seat. This will allow you to make
sure that nobody is located in the danger zone.
