HANDLING TIPS

The Everest & Jennings Pure Tilt has been designed and engineered to perform as a stable and well balanced unit when used for its intended purpose. However, it is possible to tip the Pure Tilt over if it is used improperly or if you move beyond the center of gravity. You may want to consider the use of a positioning belt, available from your distributor or www.grahamfield.com , to maintain proper weight distribution. We urge you to learn the characteristics of your wheelchair. It is most important to learn safe methods to perform the daily activities basic to your lifestyle. Consult your medical professionals for assistance in developing the skills and proper techniques to perform all activities safely.

BALANCE

Proper balance is the key to maintaining the stability of your wheelchair. Reaching, bending, and transferring to or from a wheelchair will change your weight distribution and center of gravity. When performing such activities, do so as instructed in the following paragraphs to avoid tipping the wheelchair.

TRANSFER

WARNING: Always ensure the wheelchair is on a stable, level surface before transfer.
WARNING: Always engage wheel locks before transfer.
WARNING: Do not step on the footplate; this could cause the wheelchair to tip. Fold it up and secure it under leg pads.
WARNING: There is a critical moment when there is little or no seat platform beneath you.
Take every precaution to reduce this unsupported distance before you attempt transfer.

Patient Lift Transfer

Transfer Board Transfer

Transferring into or out of a wheelchair is a very difficult maneuver; always exercise extreme care even when transferring with the aid of an attendant, a patient lift (shown at above left), or a transfer board (shown at above right). Consult your medical professionals for assistance in developing your individual transfer technique. Engage both wheel locks and ensure the wheelchair is stabilized and will not move or slide during the transfer. Take extra precautions to prevent tipping. Use good body mechanics to prevent personal injury.

REACHING / BENDING

WARNING: Always turn the casters frontward to provide stability while reaching. If in doubt, ask for assistance or use a device that will extend your reach without requiring you to shift your weight.
Although it is not recommended, you may find it occasionally necessary to lean or reach from your wheelchair. Consult with your healthcare professional for assistance in developing your personal safe reaching or moving techniques suited to your ability and restrictions.

Reaching / Bending Forward or sideward

WARNING: Do not attempt to reach objects if you are required to move forward in the seat. Do not attempt to retrieve objects from the floor if you must reach down between your knees. Do not shift your weight in the direction that you are reaching and/or bending; this could cause the wheelchair to tip.

Reach Forward

Reach Sideward

  1. Maneuver the wheelchair as close as possible to the object you wish to reach.
  2. Rotate both casters fully forward: Go forward, and then back the wheelchair toward the object to swing the casters fully forward.
  3. Engage both wheel locks.
  4. Ensure the casters are rotated fully forward before reaching. If not, repeat step 2.

Reaching / Bending Backward

WARNING: Do not engage the wheel locks while reaching or bending backward. Should your weight suddenly shift accidentally, it is better to roll in that direction than to tip over.

WARNING: Do not lean over the back upholstery; this could cause the wheelchair to tip.

  1. Maneuver the wheelchair as close as possible to the object; the rear wheels will limit how close you can get.
  2. Rotate both casters fully forward: Go forward, and then back the wheelchair toward the object to swing the casters fully forward.
  3. Reach only as far as your arm will extend without changing your sitting position. If in doubt, reposition the wheelchair or ask for assistance.

RAMPS AND INCLINES

WARNING: DO NOT attempt curbs or inclines while in the tilted position. The wheelchair must be in full upright position.
WARNING: During descent, the footplate’s lowest point should be no closer to the ground than 2 1/2 in. (6.4 cm) to permit proper clearance.
WARNING: Do not attempt inclines without anti-tippers installed. Do not attempt any incline or decline of more than 6 degrees (10% grade, or one foot of rise or fall per ten feet of ramp length).
WARNING: Do not use wheel locks to slow your descent. Attempting to use wheel locks is likely to result in accidental locking that could cause the wheelchair to stop abruptly, suddenly pitch forward, or tip sideways.
WARNING: Avoid changing direction while descending a ramp or incline, as this could cause instability.

Most people are capable of negotiating short inclines without assistance, depending upon upper body strength, endurance, and the degree of incline. Know your own strength and endurance capabilities and limitations before attempting to negotiate an incline or decline. Practice with an attendant or healthcare professional first before attempting any inclines, declines or ramps.
Always inspect the ramp for hazards such as holes, slippery or uneven surfaces, etc. before starting up or down. If you can not see the entire ramp, ask someone to inspect it for you.

Ascent

Lean the upper part of your body slightly forward, as shown above, as you ascend the incline. If it becomes necessary to stop on the incline, avoid any abrupt or sudden forward movement as you resume climbing; this could cause tipping.

Descent

Always face forward when going down a ramp, but do not lean forward; this could cause tipping. Lean slightly backward to increase stability. It is critical to keep the wheelchair under control at all times. Descent should be made slowly and safely by grasping the handrails; however, use care, as friction heat will be generated. We recommend the use of gloves to reduce the effects of friction heat, but going slower is a better alternative.

CURBS

Curbs should only be negotiated with the assistance of an attendant. When you encounter curbs, find a way around, or use the ramps now available in most locations. If there is no ramp available, avoid the curb by using the disabled-designated elevators now required in most locations.

Curbs — with Attendant

WARNING: When approaching a curb, ensure the hand grips are securely fastened and do not turn or slip off.

Curbs should only be negotiated with the assistance of an attendant. The following are suggestions only for curb negotiation. It is important for you to develop your own safe technique that is best suited for your abilities with the aid of your healthcare professionals.

Going Up (Method 1)

When approaching a curb, ensure the hand grips are securely fastened and do not turn or slip off. Tilt the wheelchair backward to its balance point and move forward until the front casters pass over the top of the curb. Lower the front casters slowly onto the curb, lift the wheelchair by the push handles, and push forward until the rear wheels roll up and over the curb. Ensure the wheelchair has completely cleared the curb and can not roll backwards.

Handling Tips

Going Up (Method 2)

Ensure the hand grips are securely fastened and do not turn or slip off. Turn the wheelchair around and back up until the rear wheels are against the curb. Tilt the wheelchair back to its balance point and lift up by the push handles while pulling the wheelchair up and over the curb.
DO NOT let the front casters down until the wheelchair is back far enough to clear the curb .

Handling Tips

Going Down

Ensure the hand grips are securely fastened and do not turn or slip off. While standing behind the wheelchair, turn the wheelchair around and carefully back down the step. Hold the handgrips tightly and pull the wheelchair to where the rear wheels reach the curb edge, then slowly roll the rear wheels down onto the lower level. After the wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the wheelchair back to its balance position and turn it to face forward. Lower the front casters carefully by placing one foot on the tipping lever and gradually decreasing the force of exertion.

Handling Tips

STAIRS AND ESCALATORS

WARNING: Never attempt to negotiate stairs or escalators in your Pure Tilt.

Stairs and escalators are dangerous obstacles. If you encounter steps and there is no ramp available, avoid the steps by utilizing the disabled- designated elevators now required in most locations.

WEIGHT TRAINING

WARNING: This wheelchair is not designed or tested as a seat for weight training.

Adjustments

  1. Ensure the wheel lock is unlocked (pull the handle toward the back of the wheelchair).
  2. Use the M5 hex key to slightly loosen (do not remove) the two socket head cap screws, shown at right, that secure the mounting clamp.
  3. Once loosened, slide the adjustment rod that holds the wheel lock components, shown at right, to the desired position and tighten.
  4. Engage the wheel lock (push the handle toward the front of the wheelchair) and measure the depth it is embedded into the tire. When engaged, the wheel lock shoe must be embedded in the tire at least 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. (.32 cm to .64 cm) to hold the tire in place.
  5. Repeat steps 1 through 4, if necessary, until the 1/8 in. to 1/4 in. (.32 cm to .64 cm) measurement is obtained.

WARNING : Ensure both wheel locks are adjusted so that they lock in place appropriately before occupying or operating wheelchair.

TRANSPORTING THE PURETILT

WARNING: This wheelchair does not offer seating or occupant restraint equivalent to the seat provided in a motor vehicle! To increase your safety while traveling in a motor vehicle, always transfer to the vehicle seat and use the restraint provided by the vehicle manufacturer.

PREPARATION FOR TRANSPORT / FOLDING THE WHEELCHAIR

WARNING: This wheelchair, with all cushions installed, weighs approximately 95 lb (43 kg); seek assistance with lifting and moving when necessary.

Fold Back Forward

See FOLDING the Wheelchair , page 10.

TRANSPORTING THE WHEELCHAIR

When transporting the wheelchair in a motor vehicle, do not place the wheelchair where it will interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle or endanger the driver or passengers. The front seat IS NOT a good location to store a wheelchair during transport — it can be dislodged and become a serious hazard to the driver. Always take precautions to avoid personal injury when loading or lifting a wheelchair into or out of a vehicle.

Lifting Wheelchair into Van

Van with side sliding door: Slide the side door open completely. Fold the wheelchair as described on page 10 and face it toward the open door. Tilt the wheelchair backwards as shown above and roll it forward on the rear wheels. Push the wheelchair forward so the casters enter the van. Tilt the wheelchair away from the back of the front seat, then lower the casters to the floorboard. Slowly lift-roll the chair into the van.

WARNING : Ensure the wheelchair is stable and will not shift while the van is in motion.

WARNING: Ensure the wheelchair does not block the driver’s field of vision.

SUV rear door: There must be room in the back of the SUV for the wheelchair. Fold the wheelchair as described on page 10 and set the wheel locks. Grasp the front of the frame and rear of the wheels and lift the wheelchair carefully, using good body mechanics to avoid injury, and place it in the back of the SUV.

WARNING : DO NOT put any articles on top of the wheelchair.

Close the rear door slowly.

MAINTENANCE

Protect your E&J Pure Tilt by having it serviced regularly. Proper care and maintenance are essential to keep your wheelchair in safe working condition. Periodic inspection, adjustment, and replacement of worn parts will provide many years of superb performance. When you believe that a component or part of your Pure Tilt is not functioning properly, contact your GF authorized distributor immediately, as a potentially hazardous condition could result. Only excellent condition is acceptable where safety is concerned.

SERVICE MANUAL

There is no service manual for the Pure Tilt. Please contact your GF authorized distributor with questions not answered by this manual. A Pure Tilt parts catalog is available at www.grahamfield.com to assist in the ordering of parts.
Info: We recommend that you have a GF authorized distributor perform a six month maintenance check, as the distributor may find and correct a problem which might otherwise go undetected and eventually cause more serious problems and/or personal injury.

DO-IT-YOURSELF MAINTENANCE

You can do many of the scheduled maintenance tasks yourself, if you have mechanical ability and a few basic tools. Refer to the following maintenance schedule for the recommended regularity of each procedure. If any maintenance procedure is not clear to you, ask your GF authorized distributor for assistance.

NOTICE: Improper maintenance can cause operating problem and may affect your warranty.

WARNING : Unauthorized modification or the use of non-Everest & Jennings replacement parts could change the structure of the wheelchair, void the warranty, and create a hazardous condition resulting in serious personal injury.

General care

Always evaluate the overall operation of your wheelchair. It should function with ease and should travel straight without excessive drag or pull to one side.
Remember, your GF authorized distributor knows your wheelchair best when it comes to service and repairs. Contact your distributor with any questions or concerns regarding the safe operation and maintenance of your wheelchair. Regular maintenance is essential for your safety and continued operation of your wheelchair .

CHECK AT LEAST EVERY WEEK

Check tire wear

Examine tires at least once a week for surface wear and cracks and replace them as needed.
Replace tires when they become loose on the rims or cracks appear.

Check handrims

Check handrims at least once a week. Inspect each handrim for rough or sharp edges and, if any are found, replace wheel immediately. Ensure all hardware is properly aligned and secure.

Check wheel lock engagement

Check wheel lock engagement at least once a week. See Adjust wheel locks in Section 7 to adjust wheel lock engagement. If a wheel lock is worn or damaged, replace it immediately. Inspect the hardware for looseness or signs of wear.
Ensure the locking mechanism operates smoothly. The locking assembly should be tight enough so that the wheel can not rotate or the lock slip. Check that the locking shoe does not press against the tire when in the unlocked position. Excessive force should not be required to either engage or release wheel locks. Oil the wheel lock pivot points with one or two drops of 30 weight oil. Remove excess oil and dirt.

Check anti-tippers

Check the anti-tippers at least once a week. Ensure the anti-tippers are securely fastened and properly positioned.

WARNING: When in use, anti-tippers must be installed in the downward position.

Wipe off frame

Wipe off the frame frequently, at least once a week, using a soft cloth. Dry the wheelchair immediately if exposed to moisture.

CHECK AT LEAST EVERY MONTH

Check handgrips

Check handgrips at least once a week. Ensure that they are not ripped; ensure that they are tight and securely fastened.

Check upholstery

Check upholstery at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears and worn spots. Ensure hook and loop fastener is firmly attached to metal surfaces and backs of pads.

WARNING: Worn or torn upholstery must be replaced immediately.

Clean upholstery and plastic components

Clean upholstery and plastic components at least once a month with a mild soap and water solution.

Check rear wheel adjustment

Inspect the rear wheels at least once a month. Check alignment by elevating the rear of the wheelchair on a stable object until the rear wheels clear the ground, or placing the wheelchair upside down in a stable position such that the wheels can spin freely. Spin the wheels; there should be no wobble or sideplay, and the wheels should spin freely without binding. The bearings should be clean and rotate smoothly. Check rim sideplay to verify that bearings are not too loose. If there is a problem, contact your GF authorized distributor. If adjustment is required, this should be done by your distributor only.

Check arms

Check arms at least once a month. Inspect for rips, tears, or worn spots, and replace if found.
Ensure all attaching screws are present and tight. Use a 7/64 hex key to tighten arm pad mounting screws from underneath.

Check arm and back locking latches

Check arm and back locking latches at least once a month to ensure screws are tight. Tighten with 9/64 hex key if needed.

Check legrest and footplate

Check footplate and legrest at least once a month. Inspect the locking mechanisms to confirm sure fit. Check for cracks, burrs, or sharp edges, and replace if found. Ensure that footplate and legrest will lock securely in place and will not accidentally unlock.

CHECK AT LEAST EVERY THREE MONTHS

Clean frame

Clean the frame at least every three months with a mild soap and water solution. The frame does not need to be waxed. Do not use solvents, abrasive waxes, caustic chemicals or spray silicone on the frame. Never use abrasive cleansers; they could scratch the finish. Never use steam or high pressure cleaners.

Check caster axle and stem rotation

Check the caster axles for proper rotation at least every three months. Ensure the stems are firmly attached to the forks and that the forks and stems are not bent. The caster axles must turn freely, and the caster forks must swivel freely, to facilitate steering and handling. Evaluate all threads and locking nuts. If the caster axles require adjustment, contact your GF authorized distributor.

CHECK AT LEAST EVERY SIX MONTHS

Maintenance check

Have your GF authorized distributor perform a maintenance check at least every six months.

Check caster and rear wheel bearings

Have your GF authorized distributor check caster and rear wheel axle bearings at least every six months.
