4.0 GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The safety of the user requires close attention to ALL safety warnings in
this manual. The user must always be aware of the centre of gravity of the
wheelchair when attempting to reach for objects in a forward motion
or down between the user's knees. For extra stability, we recommend the
use of the safety belt included as an additional safeguard. Lifting of the
wheelchair by any detachable parts is not recommended as it may result in
injury to the user or an assistant.
Please adhere to ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS in this manual
and read the safety instructions carefully prior to use.
DIAGRAM 1.
This wheelchair is equipped with non-weight bearing footplates which are
designed only to hold the user's legs in a comfortable position whilst seated.
WARNING!
Always place feet firmly on the ground when transferring off or onto
the wheelchair. DO NOT stand on the wheelchair footplates. This will
result in the wheelchair tipping forward and will cause serious injury.
DIAGRAM 2.
Always engage rear wheel park brake, flip footrest up and swing leg rest
away (if required) whilst transferring on or off the wheelchair.
WARNING!
Failing to engage the rear wheel park brake will result in the
wheelchair to move backwards whilst transferring. This can cause
serious injury.
DIAGRAM 3.
Always ensure all 4 wheels are in complete contact with the ground whilst
operating the wheelchair.
WARNING!
DO NOT tip the wheelchair backwards and allow the front wheels to
leave the ground as the user may fall backwards and injure themselves.
DIAGRAM 4.
Whilst out and about, always use ramps or elevators provided.
WARNING!
DO NOT attempt to descend down stairs or pavements or escalators
without an attendant. Failing to acquire help in these situations will
result in injury.
DIAGRAM 5.
It is strongly recommended this wheelchair be equipped with anti-tipping
wheels (standard on some models) if the user requires manoeuvring on ramps
or steep inclines.
WARNING!
Failing to use anti-tippers on an incline will result in injury.
Mobility, Comfort and Style.
