SAFETY NOTES
Please read this user guide fully before using your wheelchair.
Expert medical advice must be sought before using your wheelchair. If you have any doubt about this speak to
your Occupational Therapist.
Before using the wheelchair it is essential to ensure the backrest recline catches are engaged.
Each attendant should be familiar with the operation of the wheelchair. If there is any doubt they should read
this User Guide.
Before setting off, ensure that the occupant is comfortable, and that clothes and any rugs which may be used
are tucked in, so that they do not catch on the wheels.
Always apply the parking brake when the wheelchair is stationary and when getting in and out of the
wheelchair.
Never tip the wheelchair forward when going down a kerb.
If the wheelchair is going to be used for transport in a vehicle you should carefully read the Transport Section
of this guide.
The attendant must take precautions against fire risk. In buildings, check the locations of fire exits and make
sure the emergency procedures are understood.
Do not let children play with, or hang on the wheelchair.
Do not use your wheelchair in a manner for which it is not designed.
Ensure that children are clear of moving parts before making adjustments.
Activate and your dealer cannot accept responsibility for the use of accessories other than those supplied by
them.
Full concentration must be maintained during travel to avoid collisions or other dangerous situations.
Make sure that the wheelchair brakes are applied while adjusting the recline or the tilt of the seat. This will
leave both hands free to operate these features, avoiding sudden movements which will cause discomfort to
the occupant.
Do not overload the wheelchair. Other children should not ride on the back of the wheelchair, nor should loads
be attached to the frame other than on the approved accessories.
Ensure that the occupant has the appropriate harness attached and other accessories fitted and adjusted to
their requirements to prevent them from falling out of the wheelchair while travelling.
Do
not stand on the footrest. Ensure the occupant’s feet are settled into the footrest before setting off.
Never leave the child unattended in the wheelchair at any time.
At all times when operating the wheelchair, be aware of the danger of injury to yourself, the occupant, or any
other person, especially when going through narrow areas such as doorways.
Activate and your dealer cannot accept responsibility for any loss, damage or injury as a result of incorrect
operation of your wheelchair.
