Safety Guidelines - RMS Simba User Manual

For correct support and user comfort, it is strongly recommended that the initial
installation, any adjustments and final hand-over are carried out by a suitably
qualified person. Hand-over should include passing these instructions to the carer.
A stability test with the intended user may be necessary prior to final issue.
After the buggy has been adjusted to suit the intended user, any settings should
not be affected when folding of the buggy. However, care should be taken not to
impact adjustable components whilst folding or in the folded position.
It is recommended that the user be checked at regular intervals by a suitably
qualified person to ensure that adjustable components are correctly set to suit the
user's current requirements.
It is recommended that any postural belts or harnesses being used are the first
items to be secured when the user enters the seat and the last items to be
released before exiting.
Regular inspections of the buggy should be made and any defects reported to the
relevant authority for rectification as soon as possible.
The buggy parking brakes should always be applied before attempting to transfer
the occupant or when making any adjustments.
Never leave the buggy parked on a slope with the occupant seated.
Heavy objects should never be suspended from the buggy push handle, as this
could seriously affect the overall stability.
It is recommended that to ensure maximum comfort and correct support, any
adjustments affecting the user's postural positioning should be carried out by a
suitably qualified person.
NOTE: Any reference to Left or Right in this manual will refer to the Left or Right side
when sitting in the buggy.
