3 SAFETY
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching
down between your knees.
The back height, seat depth, back angle, seating system, tilt angle, seat height, size/position of the rear wheels, size/position
of the front casters, as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one or any
combination of the eleven may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST be performed by a
qualified technician.
Many activities require the wheelchair user to reach, bend and transfer
in and out of the wheelchair. These movements will cause a change to
normal balance, center of gravity, and weight distribution of the
wheelchair.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice
bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in
the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting
active use of the wheelchair.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning,
bending or bending forward, it is important to use the casters as a tool
to maintain stability and balance.
