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.
