Pull up on the backrest handles and make sure they click lock into place on both sides so the backrest is upright. (To refold this back down there are black release tabs on the back side of the folding joint.)
- If Necessary You can add the included foot securing strap. This can be used as needed along with the seatbelt. The seatbelt is strongly recommended while the chair is in use. You can also adjust the footrest with the included tools (also only if necessary).
USING THE BRAKES
If braking while in the chair a hand brake is provided for each wheel. Rear brakes are also provided for use if being assisted by another person. Note that the handbrakes can lock the wheels til no longer needed but the rear brakes cannot lock they can only brake while the brake handles are being squeezed.
WARNING
It is best to always use the brakes while not moving. ALWAYS lock the brakes
when getting out of the chair or while stopping on any type of incline or
decline.
CAUTION
Please note that this chair is designed to use for transporting another
individual and is not meant for self transportation. This Transport Chair is
designed to safely be a stable center of gravity but it is important to try
and keep a stable center of gravity of all times while performing activities
that may change your center of gravity or a passenger’s center of gravity.
Never reach out so far that is would 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 your front wheels are pointing forward as this will stabilize
the chair.
RAMPS
Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and strength before attempting
to push another individual up a ramp. Correct techniques
on ramp negotiation should be shown to you by a qualified professional. If you
must stop on an incline, avoid any and all sudden or abrupt movement when you
resume movement, because of backward angle
of the chair, sudden abrupt movement could cause instability. Do not attempt
to change direction when moving in incline or decline, this could result in
tipping.
