When transferring in and out of the chair, make sure that the brakes are applied
to prevent the chair from sliding away. Also see that the footplates are flipped up
for ease of entering or exiting. (See Figure 4.23)
4.3 General Use
4.3.1 Attendant Pushing and Self-propelled
Do ensure that the brakes are always locked when the chair is not being
pushed. (See Figure 4.24.)
Always make sure that both feet are safely on the footplates and that clothing
is safely tucked out of the way and so cannot get caught in the wheels.
(See Figure 4.25.)
Always use both hands on the push handles to control the chair. (See Figure
4.26.)
Always avoid steep or uneven surfaces because the chair may tip over. (See
Figure 4.27.)
Always avoid soft surfaces because the casters may get bogged down. (See
Figure 4.28.)
Always be careful not to go too fast or turn too quickly and try to achieve a
smooth steady ride.
Before crossing railroad tracks, please stop completely and look both ways.
Cross the tracks perpendicular to avoid your wheels getting stuck.
Do not move at full speed over the railroad tracks.
Be careful going through a doorway that your hands and arms do not get
injured.
PLEASE keep in contact with the person in the chair. If you stop to look in shop
windows or talk to people, remember to turn the chair so that the person in the
chair does not have to turn.
WARNING:
NEVER lock the brakes too suddenly as this may tip the user out of the chair.
