Safety Tips
It is important for the attendant to be familiar
with proper assisting procedures in any
situation that requires the use of the Transport
Chair. Safety is the key consideration. Consult
your physician, nurse or physical therapist to
determine the methods most suitable for your
individual needs and abilities.
1. Before entering or leaving the chair,
engage the dual wheel locks against the
tyres on both rear wheels. Make sure the
front castors are in the forward position
before transferring into or out of the chair.
2. Do not move forward on the seat while
leaning forward out of the chair. If it is
absolutely necessary to do so, make sure
the front castors are in the forward position.
If you are picking an object up from the
floor, go past the object, and then go
backwards. The castors will then swing to
the forward position.
3. Leaning out of the transport chair without
proper assistance could cause tipping.
4. Do not step on the foot plates when
transferring, as this could cause tipping.
