• Check each of the following before using the wheelchair:
– that all parts are attached securely to the frame
– that all wheels and knobs are properly tightened
– that all brakes and anti-tip devices function correctly
• Never lift the wheelchair by the detachable armrests, footrests, backbrace
or by the adjustable push handles.
• Always apply the brake before getting into or out of the chair.
• Never stand on the footplates when getting into or out of the chair, because
of the risk of tipping.
• Changing the seat angle gives an incRea™sed risk of tipping over.
• The handrims may become hot due to friction, which may cause injury to
your hands.
• Use extensively the anti-tip device
• Remember that the effectiveness of the carer-operated brake is reduced
in wet and slippery conditions, as well as when on a slope.
• Be careful to ensure that the drive wheels are securely attached.
• There is a risk of tipping and injury if the velcro straps on the backrest
become too slack. Always check the tension.
• Surfaces of the wheelchair like frame parts or upholstery, with long time
sun shining on them, can Rea™ch temperature > 41 degrees C.
• When mounting accessories etc. be careful not to trap your fingers.
• There is always an incRea™sed risk of trap ping parts of your body when
tilting the wheelchair's back and seat.
• The width of the seat should never be adjusted so much so that the inside
of the armrests press against the side of the pelvis.
