Safety Information

Section 9

Instructions for Securing the Mobility Base
in a Motor Vehicle

1. Please read the instructions for use
before using this product.
Familiarise yourself with the mobility base
and your chosen seating system on level
ground to avoid potentially dangerous
situations.

2. Park the mobility base on level ground
wherever possible. If parking on a slope is
unavoidable ensure the anti-tipper is in a
functional position.

3. When reaching for objects in front, to
the side or behind the occupant make sure
the occupant does not lean too far out of
the seating system as this may cause the
mobility base to tilt or tip over.

4. Treat your mobility base with care. Do
not drive into or against obstacles without
slowing down.

5. The anti-tipper is designed to prevent
the mobility base with user from tipping
over backwards. The anti-tipper should
not be used to support the base with rear
wheels removed.

6. Do not go up or down stairs without
assistance from another person. If
available make use of ramps and lifts.
In the absence of a ramp or lift, then 2
people should carry the base with seating
system over the obstacle. If only 1 helper is
available, the anti-tipper (if fitted) should be
adjusted or removed as to not contact the
steps, therefore avoiding a potential fall.
Replace anti-tipper afterwards.

7. When lifting the mobility base,
ensure that it is held by firmly attached
components and not by loose or moving
parts.

8. Ensure height adjustable push handle
clamping levers are firmly tightened.

9. Ensure brakes are applied when
stationary on uneven ground and during
transfer.

10. Ensure any tilt and brake cables do not
interfere with any moving parts e.g. wheels.

11. Occupants should be secured with
suitable safety straps, belts or harnesses
at all times.

12. In some combinations of settings
the foot supports may interfere with
the castors. In this case adjust the
settings so that this does not happen as
the manoeuvrability of the base will be
impaired.

13. When using the mobility base in public
areas and streets, ensure local traffic
regulations are observed.

14. Be careful when adjusting the seat
base to avoid finger injuries.

15. Maximum load capacity including
seating system is 110Kg.

16. Ensure that screws are tightened after
adjustment.

Ensure all nuts & screws are re-tightened to
ensure the handle bars are firmly attached to
the base.

The lap belt posts and screws can be fitted

base throughout its range of tilt.

The mobility base will arrive with the interface
fitted in a position likely to be suitable for the
seating system to be attached to it. There are
five mounting positions to choose from. The

the Mygo Seat. In order to adjust the position
of the interface, please refer to Fig 1a and 1b.

Remove the 4 screws (A) and nuts (B)
retaining the interface and slide the interface
forward or backwards as desired. Refit the 4
screws and nuts. Ensure all screws & nuts are

locating the channel (B) at the rear of the seat
over the tube at the back of the chassis (C).
Pull the handle (D) at the front of the seat
unit up and then pivot the seat down.

To mount the Mygo Seating System on the
mobility base first release the safety locking
pin at the front of the seat. To do this pull
the pin out and rotate through 90 degrees.
Carefully lift the seat and place it into the
chassis. At the rear of the underside of the
seat you will see a receiving channel. Place
this securely over the tube towards the back
of the chassis. Pull the handle at the front
of the seat unit up and then pivot the seat
forward and down. Once the front of the
seat is lowered fully, release the handle and
push it forward to ensure it has fully engaged
on the front tube. Rotate the safety locking
pin so it engages in front of the handle. If it
hits the handle then the seat is not inserted
properly. Remove and repeat process
outlined above.

Once the seat is mounted, ensure that the
static stability of the product is checked. If
the stability is less than 10˚ the user and/
or attendant need to be informed using a
clear warning note, to allow them to take
precautions in interest of the user’s safety.
