3.2 Security rules :
There are many rules that must be followed to ensure the safety of the user and the individuals
in contact with the wheelchair. Note that the following list is not exhaustive. It's the responsibility
of the person in contact with the wheelchair to remain cautious in the actions undertaken:
Never drive without adequate tire pressure (in the case pneumatic tires);
Do not attempt to reach an object if you must lean forwards, to the side or to the back.
Do not attempt to approach an obstacle whose height could jeopardize the stability of
the wheelchair;
Never carry passengers;
Do not attempt to tip the chair unassisted;
Never use the footplates to lift or to do transfers;
Never lift the wheelchair by its retractable or removable parts. Use the rigid elements of
the frame instead;
Where parts are removable, be careful not to pinch a finger when reinstalling the part;
For transport, use the anchors provided for this purpose. These can not be used as a
substitute for Transport Canada approved vehicle restraint systems.
