The design of your chair enables it to remain stable for normal everyday usage if used correctly in accordance with the recommendations in this manual.

Aidapt also recognises that due to reason of pain or discomfort, transfer may not be possible.

1. Push Handles The handles are designed for the helper to propel the chair. They must not be used solely for lifting the chair over obstructions or kerbs (see negotiating obstacles) The helper should not place all of their weight on the handles by lifting their feet off the floor as this will place adverse strain on the handles.
We recommend your chair is fully serviced every twelve months. For parts information please contact Aidapt Bathrooms Limited (details on the back page). 9. Recycling of your Transit Chair Once the chair has reached its expected service life you can contact Aidapt for disposal.
