2.5 Safety: Choking hazard

DANGER!
This mobility aid uses small parts which under certain
circumstances may present a choking hazard to young children.

2.6 Safety: Using a (vehicle mounted) wheelchair lift

Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses and buildings to help
you move from one level to another.
DANGER!
• Ensure that the user and all carers fully understand the lift
manufacturer's instructions for using the passenger lift.
• Never exceed the lift manufacturer's recommended safe
working load and load distribution guidance.
• Always turn off all power when you are on the lift. If you fail
to do so, you may touch the joystick by accident and cause
your chair to drive off the platform. Be aware that a roll-stop
at the end of the platform may not prevent this.
• Always position the user securely in the chair to help avoid
falls while on the lift.
• Always ensure the chair is in drive mode when using
passenger lift (wheels locked not in freewheel mode).
