Basic work
4.5.1
Jacking up the wheelchair
CAUTION
Improper lifting
Crushing, pinching, blows due to failure to observe safety instructions
f The wheelchair is heavy. Ensure ergonomically correct lifting. Use sufficiently large hoisting devices or perform
this work with a helper.
f If it is necessary to work underneath raised parts or equipment, make sure these are secured by suitable means
so that they cannot come loose, shift, or fall down.
f Always use an assembly stand with a load capacity that at least corresponds to the overall weight of the
wheelchair.
f When using lifting platforms or an assembly stand, ensure that the power wheelchair is centred on the sup-
porting surface and that no parts protrude into the danger zone.
f Always secure a jacked up wheelchair against tipping over with the active support of a helper when the seat is
folded up. Always fold down the seat before jacking the wheelchair up or down.
