1.2 WHAT ABOUT THE ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY

All electronic instruments which transmit remote informations are generally apparatus which emit in the environment some radio waves. These radio waves are called " electromagnetic energy ".

The functionality of an electronic instrument can be deteriorated by this electromagnetic energy field. It is what we call "an electromagnetic interference". Stronger the intensity of energy is, greater the risk of bad functional problem of the apparatus increase. This energy is measured in volt per meter (V/m).

All motorized wheelchair are suitable to be affected by these interferences. However, current technology makes it possible to immunize them against these risks. It is what is called their electromagnetic level of immunity to the interference, measured also in volt per meter (V/m).

20 V/m is a level of immunity which offer a good protection against the electr omagnetic interferences. The electronic parts of the R-NET electronic from

do meet

standard directive IEC 1000-4-3.

To avoid electromagnetic interferences, it is important to read and respect the following warning section, before to use your

wheelchair for the first time.

1 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

1.2.1 CAUTION

Waves emitted by :

• Radio and television stations;

• Amateur radio;

• Radio transmitters and receivers;

• Cellular phones;

• Computers laptop.

CAN AFFECT THE CORRECT FUNCTIONALITY OF MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR.

1.2.2 USING TRANSMITTERS AND RECEIVERS

• Avoid proximity of these sources of electromagnetic emissions.

• Always put the joystick box in the OFF POSITION before using a cellular phone or a CB

apparatus.

• The addition of electric accessories and/or electric modifications made to the wheelchair

will modify its level of immunity to the electromagnetic emissions.

• Always put the key in the OFF POSITION as soon as it safe to do it and that appears an

erratic operation with the wheelchair.

• Please forward any incident of this kind to

2 RECOMMENDED USE

2.1 OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

Thanks to its small overall dimensions, your

wheelchair is perfectly adapted to your

inside displacement. Its short turning radius allows easier movement.

With its motorization making it possible to reach a speed of 12 km/h, the

wheelchair is

the ideal choice to move outside, on a paved or uneven surfaces.

The

offer an adjustable seat to floor height and the possibility of adjus ting t he angle of the seat. These adjustable structures allow us to adapt the wheelchair to the needs of each customer. Its armrests and legrests are also adjustable to provide you a better comfort.

2.2 USER

The control of the wheelchair requires training. The operation of the wheelchair should only be permitted to the person for whom it was prescribed. It can be particularly dangerous to let children play with the wheelchair.

2.3 WHEELCHAIR HANDLING

This section shows the procedures and standard techniques for a safe operation of the wheelchair. It is important to practice and control these techniques until you feel at ease around the architectural barriers you frequently encounter.

Use this document as a basic guide. Techniques described in the next pages have been t ested by several users.

Wheelchair users have different capacities and limits; and must often develop skills in order to compose within these in their daily activities.

recognize these differences and encourage each individual to test what works best for him or her in their environment. Techniques described in this document are only a starting point for the new user and his or her companion. Always remember that your first priority must be "safety".

2.3.1 STABILITY

AND BALANCE

To ensure the stability and a good operation condition for your wheelchair, you must maintain a good balance at any time. Your wheelchair has been conceived to remain stable and upright while doing your normal daily activities unless you move beyond your center of gravity.

Practically all the activities which require movements when you are seated in the wheelchair will have an effect on the center of gravity.

recommends you to always fasten your seat

belt when doing such activities.

2 RECOMMENDED USE

2.3.2 NEGOTIATION OF DAILY OBSTACLES

While learning to drive your wheelchair, you will have to negotiate daily obstacles, such as c urb, staircase etc. Keep in mind where your "center of gravity" is in order to always maintain stability and balance.

2.3.3 NOTE TO THE CAREGIVER

When the user needs assistance, it is necessary to use adequate body mechanics. Keep your back straight and bend the knees when you must tip the wheelchair to overcome a curb or any other obstacles.

Moreover, it is necessary to keep in mind the detachable components such as armrests and footrests. You should never rely on these components to raise or to hold the wheelchair because they can be inadvertently released and causes wounds to the user or the caregiver.

When training for a new technique, always practice it in the presence of an experienced caregiver before trying it.

2.3.4 TILT

Never try to tip over the wheelchair without assistance. A caregiver must always be present.

To tip over the wheelchair, the caregiver must firmly hold the backrest handles and make sure that they are secured. He must inform the user before tipping over the wheelchair and remind him to incline he or she backwards. Also make sure that the feet and hands of the user are not to close to the wheels. The caregiver must apply a continuous motion until the point of balance is reached. At this point, the caregiver will feel a difference in the distribution of the weight. Turn the wheelchair in the desired direction if necessary. LOWER the front part of the wheelchair in a continuous motion. Do not drop the wheelchair because it could cause wounds to the occupant of the wheelchair.

2.3.5 ROADSIDE CURB (SIDEWALK)

After having mastered the tilt techniques, use this method to face curbs and other obstacles. Caregiver must tip over the wheelchair until the front wheels exceed the curb. Disengaged the

brakes (see; section 5.6 and figure 1 next page) with the handle located on the backrest handles of the seat, then push the wheelchair forwards until the front wheels cross the curb, lower the wheels to the pavement (sidewalk). Push the wheelchair forward until rear wheels pass also the curb and apply brakes. It is now possible to the user to drive the wheelchair again.

2 RECOMMENDED USE

Figure 1: Brakes disengagement handle.

2.3.6 STAIRCASES

Do not try to move a motorized wheelchair using a staircase. Use an elevator. If you must move a motorized wheelchair in a staircase, the user should not remain in his wheelchair. He must be transported independently of the wheelchair. Take off the batteries before beginning these operations.

Extreme caution is necessary when you move an unoccupied motorized wheelchair in a staircase.

recommends that two (2) caregivers must be present to carry out this operation after required preparations. Grab the wheelchair by it’s non-detachable components. Do not try to raise the wheelchair while grabbing the detachable armrests or legrests. This operation could cause body wounds to yourself and/or damage the wheelchair.

Follow this procedure to move a wheelchair in a staircase, if and only if there is no elevator.

The weight of a wheelchair without the user and the batteries is more than 120 pounds. Use an adequate technique while raising the wheelchair. Use your legs instead of your back in order to prevent wounds.

1. Move the user on another seat.

2. Take off the battery compartments of the wheelchair (see; section 4.4.2).

3. Firmly grab a non-detachable part of the frame, to raise the wheelchair

4. Climb or descend the staircases with precaution.

Do not under any pretext use escalators. Wounds could result from such a maneuver.

2 RECOMMENDED USE

2.3.7 TRANSFERS TO OR FROM AN OTHER SEAT

Always put the on/off switch of the joystick box on the OFF position before beginning a transfer.

Before carrying out a transfer, it is essential to reduce space between the two (2) points of transfer. The front wheels must be turned in the direction of the point of transfer. Apply the parking brakes in order to prevent a movement of the wheels.

During transfers, place all of your weight on the rear part of the seat. This will prevent forward tipping of the wheelchair.

NOTE

: You can undertake alone this maneuver if you have sufficient mobility and force in the

arms. Position the wheelchair as close as possible to the seat you wish to transfer to, with the front

wheels directed towards the point of transfer. Apply the parking brakes. Move the weight of the body towards the point of transfer. During a transfer, there will be only little or no seat surface under you. Use a transfer board

when possible.

2.3.8 EXTENSIONS FROM THE WHEELCHAIR

Do not try to reach objects if you must move forwards from your seat or if you must collect them on the ground by leaning forward.

Several activities require that the user incline himself, make extensions and/or transfer in or out of the wheelchair. These movements will change the point of balance, the center of gravity and the distribution of weight of the wheelchair. In order to determine your specific limits, please practice these extension movements and transfers in the presence of a HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONNALS.

A good position of the front wheels is essential for safety. When doing extension movement or movement who demand flexibility, it is important to use the front wheels like a tool in order to maintain stability and balance.

2 RECOMMENDED USE

DO NOT lean yourself forwards further that the length of your arms. Make sure that front wheels are turned in the forward direction when you must incline yourself in this direction. To do so, move your wheelchair forward and then backward in a straight line.

2.3.8.1 E

XTENSIONS AND FLEXIBILITY TOWARD FRONT

Position the wheels in the forward direction and engage the parking brakes. DO NOT REST ON THE FRONT PART OF THE ARMRESTS.

2.3.8.2 E

XTENSIONS AND FLEXIBILITY TOWARD BACK

Do not rest on the top part of the backrest. This could change the center of gravity and make the wheelchair tip over.

Position the wheelchair as close as possible to the object to be reached. Position the front wheels in the forward direction in order to create the longest wheelbase. Extend your arm backward as far as possible without having to change your position on the seat.
