RECOMMENDATIONS

To ensure your backrest provides optimal protection and comfort and to extend your product lifespan, the
following precautions should be applied.
• Before use, it is important to verify the quality and condition of the backrest components, please refer to
the Maintenance checklist, page 15.
 Physipro Inc. backrests are reserved exclusively for use on mobility aids (manual or power wheelchairs).
 Always install backrest with the provided mounting hardware.
 Never push or lift wheelchair with backrest, doing so may cause the backrest to detach from the wheelchair
and can result in injury or damage.
 Before installation, make sure the backrest is compatible with the wheelchair's dimensions.
 Never place a towel, a blanket, a folded bed sheet or any other material between the user and the backrest,
this will diminish the backrest efficiency and increase the risk of developing skin lesions.
 It is preferable to wear clothes made of cotton, that are not too tight and do not have seams on pressure
points.
 Before use, let the backrest get to room temperature to limit discomfort caused by excessively hot or cold
surfaces.
 Remove any foreign object (crumbs, debris, etc.) from backrest surface.
 Clean on a regular basis and visually inspect all components of the cushion periodically.
It is recommended to consult your therapist in the month following the installation of a new backrest to make
sure it is efficient.
