V. GENERAL WARNINGS

M. WHEN YOU NEED HELP

WARNING

For The Rider: Make sure that each person who helps you reads and follows all 
warnings and instructions that apply. 

For Attendants:
1. 

Work with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe methods 
best suited to your abilities and those of the rider.

2. 

Tell the rider what you plan to do, and explain what you expect the rider 
to do. This will put the rider at ease and reduce the risk of an accident.

3. 

Make sure the chair has push handles. They provide secure points for you 
to hold the rear of the chair to prevent a fall or tip-over. Check to make 
sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off .

4. 

To prevent injury to your back, use good posture and proper body 
mechanics. When you lift or support the rider or tilt the chair, bend your 
knees slightly and keep your back as upright and straight as you can.

5. 

Remind the rider to lean back when you tilt the chair backward.

6. 

When you descend a curb or single step, slowly lower the chair in one 
easy movement. Do not let the chair drop the last few inches to the 
ground. This may damage the chair or injure the rider.

7. 

To avoid tripping, unlock and rotate anti-tip tubes up, out of the way. 

8. 

Whenever you aren’t attending the wheelchair,  ALWAYS use the wheel-
lock to secure the rear wheels, and lock the anti-tip tubes in place.

If you fail to ask for help when in doubt, you run a high risk of a fall, tip-over or 
loss of control that may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
