Precautions

1. Using the brakes

This wheelchair has two brake systems. The applied system for the user is the pushing brake system.

When the wheelchair needs to be stopped and needs brakes to assure its immobility, the user must

hold the brake handgrips from right and left side with both hands and push forward the brake

handgrips until they are automatically locked to stop the rear wheels.

To unlock the brakes, move backwards the brake handgrips.

The other brake system is for the attendant and it is located at the back of the wheelchair beneath

the push bars. The attendant may use the brake handgrips to stop the wheelchair from moving. If

brake is needed, use both hands to hold tight the brake handgrips from right and left side to stop the

wheelchair. This brake has the function of maintaining the immobility of the wheelchair.

2. Self Propel Wheels (Handrims)

The user must first sit steadily on the wheelchair, grab the handrims with his/her hands and push the

handrims forward with the same force on both hands to make the wheelchair move forward, then

loose both hands off the handrims. When the wheelchair has slowed down its speed after certain

distance of movement, please repeat the above procedure.

3. Way to go upstairs

When the wheelchair is going upstairs, the user must have an attendant who will be assisting at the

back of the wheelchair. The attendant must step hard on the pedal located besides the rear wheels,

so the wheelchair may incline backwards till the front wheels achieve the height of next step of the

stairs. Push the wheelchair forward a little and loose the feet from the pedal so the front wheels may

touch the step. The attendant must push hard the wheelchair so the rear wheels may move forward

to the next step. Repeat the procedure until the wheelchair achieves its destination.

4. Way to go downstairs

When the wheelchair is going downstairs, the user will need two attendants for assistance, one at the

front and the other at the back of the wheelchair. To be able to go downstairs, the attendant at the

back must hold the handgrips tight to assure the wheelchair will not fall off the stairs. The attendant

at the front must step down first and elevate the front frame of the wheelchair, then slowly and

carefully pull the wheelchair down from the stairs. Repeat the above procedure until the wheelchair

achieves its destination. Finally, the front attendant must put down the front frame of the wheelchair

so the front wheels can touch the ground.

5. Wheelchair seat and backrest angle adjusting precautions

This wheelchair provides the option of adjusting the angle of the seat and backrest according to

every user's needs. The option of adjusting the angle of the seat and backrest bring more comfort to

the user on the wheelchair. The adjustment of seat and backrest angle will need the assistance of an

attendant. The attendant must hold the pushing handgrip and push the cylinder with the thumb (as

shown in the picture, left side: backrest cylinder handgrip; right side: seat adjusting cylinder

handgrip. Both can be used independently or simultaneously). Elevate or push gently the handgrips

with both hands and adjust to the suitable position, then release the hands to adjust the angle of the

seat and backrest.
