M. WHEN YOU NEED HELP
For The Rider:
Make sure that each person who helps you reads and fol-
lows all warnings and instructions that apply.
For Attendants:
1. Work with the rider's doctor, nurse or therapist to learn safe meth-
ods 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.
N. CHOKING HAZARD
WARNING
NOTE- Your chair consists of many small parts that could present a choking
hazard to young children. Take care to put parts out of reach when doing
any work on the chair.
O. PINCH POINT
WARNING
NOTE- Your wheelchair has many moving parts that can create pinch points
and possible finger traps. Be aware when making any adjustments, when
folding and unfolding, when moving, and any other situation that could
cause a pinch point situation.
