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 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 axel before you lower the
seat. This will allow you to make sure that nobody is
located in the danger zone.
