transport chair
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 of physical therapist to
determine methods most suitable for your
individual needs and abilities.
Note: The transport chair does not conform to
Federal Standards for automobile seating and
should not be used as a seat in a motor vehicle.
Your Transport Chair Dealer (Wheelchair rental
Dealer) can assist you in making adjustments and
provide you with operational information.
1. To Open the chair, tilt to one side and push down
on seat rails.
2. Lift back support to upright position. The lock to
secure the back will engage automatically. To fold
down and store, pull up on locks simultaneously,
and carefully fold down the back support.
3. To attach footrests, align the holes on the
footrest arm with the pegs on the frame of the
Transport chair. (See Diagram)
4. To Adjust the length of the footrests, loosen
the bolt (or knob) on the telescoping tube shaft.
Tighten securely after adjustment. The lowest part
of the footrest should not be less than 2 1/2 inches
from the ground to permit proper clearance.
operating tips
how to operate your transport chair:
safety tips
1. Before entering or leaving the chair, engage the
dual wheel locks against the tires on both rear
wheels. Make sure the front casters are in the
forward position before transferring into or out of
the chair.
2. Always fasten the safety belt when the
transport chair is in motion.
3. 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
casters are in the forward position. If you are
picking an object up from the floor, go past the
object, and then go backwards. The
casters will then swing to the forward position.
4. Leaning out of the transport chair without
proper assistance could cause tipping.
5. Do not step on the foot plates when
transferring, as this could cause tipping.
Note: You and your attendant should consult a
qualified professional for correct techniques on
ramp negotiations.
5. To remove the Swing-away footrest, release the
lock. Swing outward and rearward. Simply lift up
and off to remove the footrest.
6. The safety belt is already attached for use and
should not be removed from the Transport Chair.
Note: The Transport Chair should not be operated
without the assistance of an attendant.
