Page 9: Operating Information
Operating Information Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied. To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair. 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. DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat frame rails are fully seated into the side frame H‐blocks. Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result. DO NOT traverse, climb or go down ramps or slopes greater than 9°. DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film. DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to tip over and cause bodily harm to you or damage to the wheelchair. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees. DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over. DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may tip over. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes. DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance. DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur. Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS engage both wheel locks. ™ Part No. 1163197 Insignia... - Page 10 SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES 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. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair. DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position. ALWAYS use the handrims for self‐propulsion. ™ Insignia Part No. 1163197...
