Hand Grips
WARNING
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose and/or worn, replace IMMEDIATELY.
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. Verify that grips are
dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders.
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet,
prior to use, ensure that the handgrips DO NOT twist on the handle. Otherwise, damage or injury may occur.
Information for Healthcare Professionals/Assistants
WARNING
The Tracer SX Recliner wheelchair MUST be operated by a healthcare professional/assistant when in any reclined position.
Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the wheelchair before reclining or inclining (reverse recline) to maintain
maximum stability and safety.
Assistants MUST be prepared to support the weight of the occupant when reclining, or returning the occupant of the
wheelchair to the full upright position. Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek assistance if
necessary to avoid injury.
ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (reverse recline) the wheelchair.
Lifting
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable
(detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.
