TRANSPORTING YOUR PRIDE STYLUS
Currently, there are no approved stan-
dards for tie-down systems used to secure
your wheelchair to a moving vehicle of any
type while you or anyone else is seated in
the wheelchair. Although your wheelchair
may be equipped with a positioning belt,
this belt is not designed to provide proper
restraint during motor vehicle transport.
Anyone travelling in a motor vehicle should
be properly secured in the motor vehicle
seat with safety belts securely fastened.
The Pride Stylus was designed to be folded
and stored in a secure location such as in
the trunk of a car.
NOTE: You can also remove the drive
wheels to make the wheelchair more
compact. See figure 13.
To lift or carry the Pride Stylus:
1.
Fold the Pride Stylus.
2. With one hand, grab and squeeze to-
gether both seat cane handles. See
figure 5.
3. With the other hand, grab and squeeze
together both seat base rails.
WARNING! Prevent injury. If you remove the drive wheels, make sure the
quick-release buttons snap into place when reinstalling a wheel. See
figure 13.
PRE-RIDE CHECKS
Pride recommends that you practice using the wheelchair in the presence of a
trained attendant. A trained attendant is a healthcare professional specifically
trained to assist wheelchair users in various daily activities. Perform the follow-
ing pre-ride checks before using your wheelchair to help ensure your wheelchair
operates smoothly and safely:
ü
Check for loose or missing screws, nuts, and bolts. Replace or tighten them
as necessary.
ü
Check the tyres. Look for uneven wear, holes, or tyre/wheel separation. If
they look excessively worn, then have them replaced.
ü
Visually inspect pneumatic tyres for punctures. Confirm correct air pressure
as marked on the side of the tyre. Always use a pressure-regulated air sup-
ply to inflate the tyres.
