ANSA Relax Instruction & Safety Manual

Crutch holder

The crutch holder permits crutches to be transported directly on the wheelchair.
The crutch holder has a Velcro loop to fasten crutches or other walking aids.
CAUTION!
Never try to use or remove the crutches or other aids while moving.

Tray

The tray provides a fl at surface for most activities. Before using a tray, it
fi rst has to be adjusted to the width of the seat by an authorized dealer.
The user must be sitting in the wheelchair whilst this adjustment is
made.

Tyres and Mounting

Always make sure that you maintain the correct tyre pressure, as this
can have an eff ect on the performance of the wheelchair. If the tyre
pressure is too low, rolling resistance will increase, requiring more
eff ort to move the chair forward. Low tyre pressure also has a negative
impact on manoeuvrability. If the tyre pressure is to high, the tyre could
burst. The correct tyre pressure for a given tyre is printed on the surface of the tyre.
Tyres can be mounted/repaired in the same way as for an ordinary bicycle tyre. Before fi tting a new
inner tube, you should always make sure that the base of the rim and inner wall of the tyre are free of
foreign objects. Check the tyre pressure after mounting or repairing a tyre. It is critical to your safety and
to the wheelchair's performance that regulation air pressure be maintained and that tyres are in good
condition.
