6. Assembling The Wheelchair
2. Indications For Use
This wheelchair is intended for the temporary transportation of a single occupant who has a walking disability.
The wheelchair is intended to be self-propelled or by an attendant who is suitably able to control and manoeuvre
the wheelchair and who has gained familiarity with the proper operation of the wheelchair, its brakes, motion and
handling.
3. Contraindications
The wheelchair is not for use by occupants weighing more than 150 kg (23½ stone).
This wheelchair is not intended for use in a motor vehicle.
4. Cautions
The attendant who is to operate the wheelchair should familiarise themselves with the operation of the wheelchair and its
parking brakes both before and after an occupant is seated and the wheelchair is used. Note that the parking brakes are operated by hand. See section on brakes in this manual. The attendant should consider their own wellbeing before operating the
wheelchair; they should understand their limitations and strength and not attempt anything that is beyond their capability so
as to ensure the wheelchair occupant’s and their own safety.
The attendant should ensure that the handles of the wheelchair are firmly held to control the wheelchair while it is in motion
and while the parking brakes are not applied. Attendants should take particular care if gloves are worn as these may restrict
their grip on the handles of the wheelchair.
Avoid the occupant changing their centre of gravity by leaning or reaching to one side or the other from the wheelchair as
this upper body movement of the occupant may cause the wheelchair to tip over. When ascending slopes with the wheelchair ensure that the occupant’s body is leant slightly forward. Do not carry extra weight such as bags, pets or third parties
on the wheelchair as this will add excess weight and cause instability to the wheelchair.
Whenever the wheelchair is brought to rest, this should be on level ground and both parking brakes should always be firmly
engaged. Transfers of the occupant to and from the wheelchair should always take place on level ground in a safe environment. Pay particular attention when using the wheelchair in a public traffic area and never leave the occupant in the wheelchair unsupervised.
It is advisable to plan your wheelchair route beforehand and take particular care in wet or icy weather or if traversing soft
ground. Look out for kerbs and uneven surfaces. Obstacles should be avoided as hitting them may displace the occupant as
well as cause damage to the wheelchair.
