1.1
General
Only maintenance and service as described in this manual should be carried out. Use
only genuine replacement parts.
1.2
Using the KM8020 series
Always make sure BOTH brakes are applied before getting into or out of the
wheelchair.
Always take care when climbing kerbs or turning on slopes.
Never stand on the footplates when getting in or out of the wheelchair.
Never go down steps forward.
Never carry more than one passenger.
1.3
Notes for attendants and users
Do ensure that the brakes are always on when the wheelchair is not being pushed.
Always make sure that both of the user's feet are safely on the footplates and that
their clothing is safely tucked out of the way and cannot catch in the wheel.
Always keep both hands on the push handles to control the wheelchair.
Always look well ahead to anticipate hazards such as furniture, doors or potholes.
Always avoid soft surfaces because the wheelchair may get bogged down.
Always be careful not to go too fast or turn quickly and try to achieve a smooth
steady ride.
PLEASE keep in contact with the person in the wheelchair. If you stop to look in
shop windows or talk to people remember to turn the chair so that the person in
the wheelchair does not have to turn.
NEVER put on the brakes too suddenly or too firmly as this may tip the user out of
the wheelchair.
1.4
General Misuse
Please note that our USER GUIDE contains a number of cautions. Any vehicle can
cause injury if misused. Use your wheelchair with reasonable care and within these
guidelines and your safety will be ensured.
If used sensibly and carefully, your wheelchair will give you years of safe use.
Be aware that careless use endangers your own safety as well as that of others.
ALWAYS follow the road code when outdoors and also the guidelines written in this
manual.
