Transport Chair

It is important for the attendant to be familiar with proper
assisting procedures in any situation that requires the use
of the transport chair. Safety is the key consideration.
Consult your physician, nurse or physical therapist to
determine methods most suitable for your individual
needs and abilities.
1. Before entering or leaving the chair, engage the dual
wheel locks against the tires on both rear wheels.
Make sure the front casters are in the forward position
before transferring into or out of the chair.
2. Always fasten the safety belt.
3. Do not move forward on the seat while leaning forward
out of the chair. If it is absolutely necessary to do so,
make sure the front casters are in the forward position.
If you are picking an object up from the floor, go past
the object, and then go backwards. The casters will
then swing to the forward position.
Safety Tips

4. Leaning out of the transport chair without proper
assistance could cause tipping.
5. Do not step on the footplates when transferring,
as this could cause tipping.
Note: You and your attendant should consult a qualified
professional for correct techniques on ramp negotiations.

Operating Instructions
Your transport chair dealer (wheelchair rental dealer) can
assist you in making adjustments and provide you with
operational information.
1. To open the chair, tilt to one side and push down on
seat rails. Lift back support to upright position.
The lock to secure the back will engage automatically.
2. To fold down and store, pull up on locks simultaneously,
and carefully fold down the back support. Pull up on
seat to fold chair.
3. To attach footrests, align the holes on the footrest
arm with the pegs on the frame of the transport chair.
(See diagram). Swing footrest as illustrated, and the
footrest will automatically lock into position.
4. To adjust the length of the footrest, loosen the bolt
(or knob) on the telescoping tube shaft. Tighten
securely after adjustment. The lowest part of the
footrest should not be less than 2 1/2" from the
ground to permit proper clearance.

5. To remove the Swing-away footrest, release the lock,
swing outward and rearward. Simply lift up and off
to remove the footrest.
6. The safety belt is already attached for use and should
not be removed from the transport chair.
Note: The transport chair should not be operated without
the assistance of an attendant.

Proper care and maintenance is important in order to keep
your transport chair in good working condition. Be sure
that your chair is in proper working condition at all times.
A qualified dealer or repair center (wheelchair rental dealer)
should be consulted for periodic inspections and repairs.
1. At least once a week, wipe off chrome using a clean
soft cloth. If the chair is exposed to moisture, dry the
chair immediately. The metal parts of the chair should
be polished once a month with an auto wax.
2. Clean the upholstery with a mild soap solution, rinse and
wipe dry. Worn or torn upholstery should be replaced
promptly as it may not support your body weight.
3. Inspect the wheels at least once a month. Correct any
side play by loosening the lock nut on the axle, then
tighten the axle just enough to remove side play.
4. Solid rubber tires require limited upkeep, but need to
be cleaned periodically with a damp cloth. Solid rubber
tires need to be replaced if they become cracked or
severely worn.
