For Your Safety - Chunc One User Manual

< postural management
Chunc wheelchairs are Class 1 medical devices and must not be used to seat any
person without prior consultation of a qualified health care professional. A qualified
health care professional should be present when fitting or adjusting the Chunc
wheelchair and accessories to an occupant.
The occupant's seating posture and the positioning of adjustable parts and accessories
should be monitored closely and adjusted as directed by a healthcare professional
in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Ensure harnesses are fitted to the
manufacturer's instructions and their adjustment monitored closely. Any adjustments
should be as directed by a health care professional and inaccordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
Failure to comply with these washing instructions may result in the reduction of
performance of your product. Over a prolonged period this could constitute a safety
hazard.
< lifting
A minimum of two people should only attempt this operation. Ensure the handle grips
are as high as possible and tightened, resting against the fixed end caps. If the Chair
and occupant need to be lifted, lift using the front tie down points and the rear handle
grips.Do not lift the wheelchair with the footrests.
< stability
Consider the stability of the wheelchair and occupant at all times, especially when on
slopes and uneven ground. Movement of the user and the occupant's body position
can affect stability. Keep the user in a seated position whenever possible, with their
back firmly against the backrest.
Do not place bags or any other unauthorised equipment on the framework. Ensure the
anti-tip levers are engaged at all times where practical. When placing an occupant in a
fully reclined position consider their body position's affect on stability.

structions may invalidate the warranty and endanger the occupant and attendant. If at
