3. USER INSTRUCTIONS It is recommended that you consult a doctor or therapist for assistance in developing safe and effective techniques for using this wheelchair in accordance with your daily activities and physical capabilities. 3.1 Safety tips Getting off the wheelchair, reaching and bending while in the wheelchair will cause a change in weight distribution and in the centre of gravity of the user and the wheelchair.
3. USER INSTRUCTIONS 3.2 Negotiating pavements and uneven surfaces Going up the pavement: A wheelchair attendant can help the user in two different ways. We recommend using the first method. 1. The user and attendant face towards the pavement. The attendant must pull the handles towards him and place his foot on the stepper, located on the rear of the wheelchair between the wheels.
3. USER INSTRUCTIONS 3.3 Going up and down ramps Inspect the ramp for slippery areas or uneven surfaces before attempting to travel on it.
