*polyurethane WEIGHT CAPACITY Refer to the Pride Stylus Specifications Table for the maximum weight capac- ity. Exceeding the maximum weight capacity may cause your wheelchair to be- come unstable and tip over. It is also likely to damage your wheelchair. Pride will not be responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to observe weight limitations.
Pride Dealer. USING THE PRIDE STYLUS The Pride Stylus is a manual wheelchair. Either an attendant pushes it, or you move it by gripping the handrims and turning them in the desired direction of travel. You steer it by turning one wheel faster than the other. To stop the wheel- chair, you apply pressure to both handrims until the wheelchair comes to a com- plete stop.
Make sure you have a certified healthcare pro- fessional or trained attendant present while learning to properly transfer yourself. Figure 7. Flip-up Armrest Latch www.pridemobility.com Pride Stylus 450...
£ Reaching, bending, or leaning down to pick up objects between your knees may change your centre of gravity and the weight distribution of your wheel- chair and cause your wheelchair to tip over. Pride Stylus 450 www.pridemobility.com...
TIPS FOR SAFE USE The Pride Stylus was designed to be simple to use on smooth, level surfaces. However, you may encounter situations that require a higher level of skill. It is for these situations that you will benefit from practicing with a trained attendant.
