FIRE PRECAUTIONS
When using the chair, both indoors and outside, always take precautions against fire risks. Avoid smoking, and
do not park the wheelchair against an open fire, or intense heat source. Bear in mind that the temperatures
reached in a hatchback car on a hot day can cause stored wheelchair component parts to become too hot to
handle. When parking, the pusher should position the chair so that the occupant can see and communicate as
well as possible. In buildings check that fire exits and procedures are understood.
DISABLED PERSONS ARE AT GREATER RISK THAN OTHERS IN THE EVENT OF A FIRE.
