9. The Rebel Wheelchair comes with a calf strap for additional support. Locate the
Velcro strips and roll the strap over the footrest and attach with the Velcro
closure (figure G).
Stability - Wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long as center of gravity is
maintained while going about normal activities. Care must be taken while performing
activities that shift your center of gravity in the chair. Never reach so far that require
you to shift in the seat or bend over out of the chair. When you have to reach for
objects that require you to lean, be certain front casters are pointing in a forward
position that extends the wheel base and will stabilize the chair.
Ramps - Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength before attempting
to go up a ramp. Correct techniques on ramp negotiation should be shown to you by
a qualified professional. Assistance is recommended when going up or down inclines
greater than 10 . If you must stop on an incline, avoid sudden, abrupt movement
o
when you resume movement. Because of backward angle of the chair, sudden abrupt
movement could cause instability. Attempting to use the wheel lock brakes could
result in accidental locking, tipping to one side, or cause a sudden stop. Avoid changing
direction when going down an incline, as this could result in instability of tipping over.
