Weight Distribution:
CAUTION: Do not modify or adjust Foldalite’s configuration or construction yourself.
To avoid tipping over while driving, the balance and stability of the power wheelchair must not be
neglected. The following factors may affect the weight distribution of the chair:
• Height and angle of the chair.
• Seating position, or weight loading position of the user’s body.
• The gradient of the ramp or slope.
• Load carried in storage basket or by the user, may have adverse effects to the weight
distribution of the chair.
Getting On/Off:
Whenever transferring to or from the Foldalite, it is recommended to have a supporting point that
is higher than the seat cushion. To reduce the chance of falling, please be aware of the following:
• Ensure that you lift up the armrest and lower the leg guard.
• Ensure that the power is off and the brake is in “Lock” position. Check that there is no
movement in the motor wheels.
• Move the chair as close as possible to the target position to minimise the risk of falling during
transfer.
• Consult your GP about the safest way to move your body in and out of the chair.
1. Do not stand on the footrest!
2. Make sure your feet are not tangled or jammed in the gap between the footrest while
getting on/off the chair.
