Before the chair is put into service, this manual must be read thoroughly by the caregiver(s) directly
responsible for the resident’s care.
After the chair is put into service, this manual must be read thoroughly by any new caregivers prior to
operating or moving the chair.
For the purpose of this manual, a resident’s family member who shares responsibility for their care is considered a
caregiver and is subject to the same competency before being permitted by the resident’s primary caregiver to
operate or move the chair.
Prior to first use, the customer must arrange for an in-service on the operation and safety requirements in this
manual, must be given to the resident’s caregivers by the local Travrsa representative who supplied the chair.
The primary caregiver must maintain a list of caregivers who have read this manual and who they have authorized to

2.2 9BApplication
Travrsa by Broda chairs are intended for occupants in NEMT transportation vehicles under the care of professional
operators. The suitability of a chair must be determined by a qualified operator who is familiar with the travel needs
of the intended occupants. Any other use of the chair is excluded from possible liability claims.
The Travrsa –LT is not to be used in the shower. The frame and components will rust and will void the warranty.
The chairs are not explosion resistant and must not be used where there are flammable gases or liquids present (e.g.,
anesthetics, volatile solvents and cleaners, etc.)
Broda chairs are designed for use with specific Broda parts and accessories. The use of non-Broda parts or
accessories with a Broda chair will void the warranty and is excluded from possible liability claims.
Broda chairs may only be used as described in this manual and with proper regard for recognized healthcare and
workplace safety and accident prevention practices.
2.3 10BShipping and Storage
Broda chairs should be shipped and stored in an upright position and not stacked higher than 3 boxes. No other
materials should be shipped or stored on top of a Broda box.
Broda chairs should be shipped and stored at temperatures between -20ºC and 40ºC. Broda chairs should not be used
until they are between 0ºC and 30ºC.
Broda chairs should be kept in a clean, dry environment. Do not leave Broda chairs outdoors as it may cause the

Upon receipt, the shipping carton must be immediately examined for damage. Any damage should be noted on the
delivery receipt and a request for inspection by the transportation company should be made. Next, the shipping
carton should be opened and the chair must be examined for concealed shipping damage. If the chair appears to be
damaged, do not use the chair. File a concealed damage report with the transportation company.
2.4 11BPre-Service Check
Broda chairs are delivered fully assembled. If the chair does not appear to be ready to use upon receipt, immediately
contact your supplier and do not put the chair into service until any concerns have been resolved.
Visually inspect the chair for damage, missing parts, and loose fasteners prior to testing the chair’s functions.
Functional testing must be successfully completed after visual inspection and before use. These obligations apply to
the chair’s first use and to all subsequent uses (Section 4: Inspection and Functional Testing).
2.5 12BHazards
2.5.1 35BPosition of Chair - “Danger of Falling”
After a resident is transferred into a chair, assess the amount of tilt required. We recommend that the chair’s seat be
tilted sufficiently to prevent the resident from sliding or falling forward off the chair. The amount of seat tilt used
should be determined by the resident’s caregiver who is responsible for seating.
We recommend that the resident’s feet be correctly positioned on the footrests and slightly-to-fully elevated to
prevent the resident from sliding or falling forward off the chair. The amount of elevation used should be determined
by the resident’s caregiver who is responsible for seating.
2.5.2 36BPosition of Seat Tilt - “Danger of Tipping”
We recommend that the chair’s seat be tilted sufficiently to prevent an agitated resident from tipping the chair
forward or backward, or from slumping and sliding in the chair. The amount of seat tilt used should be determined
by the resident’s caregiver who is responsible for seating. Always ensure that the resident is properly positioned
before operating the seat tilt.
2.5.3 37BLocation of Chair - “Danger of Tipping or Falling Objects”
We recommend that when a resident has been moved to their destination, the chair is placed where the resident
cannot reach handrails or other objects, fixed or movable. This is to prevent the resident from pulling the chair over
or pulling themselves off the seating surface and to prevent the resident from pulling movable objects onto the chair
and themselves.
We recommend that the chair be used in a supervised area to prevent untrained residents, caregivers, or third parties
from unauthorized operation, movement, or unsafe actions such as sitting or leaning on the reclined back, elevated
footrest, or the armrests. These actions, if not prevented, put the chair at risk of tipping or damage to the chair.
We recommend that a chair only be located on a level surface to minimize the risk of tipping over.
2.5.4 38BTotal Lock Wheel Brakes - “Danger of Falling”
The wheels found on the Broda chair have total lock brakes which prevent the wheels from turning and swiveling.
The brakes must always be applied when:
1) the chair is not in use;
2) a resident is being transferred (moved) into or out of the chair; and,
3) the chair is not being moved by a caregiver.
It is important to note that if the wheel locks are applied while the patient is in the chair, that the caregiver does not
leave the patient unattended, especially those patients who have the capability or tendency to move the chair and/or
those who may be agitated. This could cause harm to the patient if they attempt to move the chair while the wheel
locks are applied.
Note that removing and attaching the footrest may be easier for the caregiver with the brakes applied

6
Failure to follow these instructions will unnecessarily increase the risk of serious falls by residents, caregivers, or
third parties caused by the chair unintentionally moving.
2.5.5 39BRe-Positioning of Resident - “Danger of Clamping”
Broda chairs offer the benefits of seat tilt, back recline, leg rest/footrest elevation, and moveable arms. During the
movement of any of these functions, the following safety measures must be observed:
1) The occupant’s arms must be positioned on the armrests or inside the chair frame with their hands
on their body.
2) The occupant’s feet must be correctly positioned on the footrest.
3) All of the chair’s brakes have been applied.
4) Only one caregiver at a time attempts to operate the chair’s functions.
5) Only one chair function is operated at a time.
6) The rear wheels are in the trailing position, behind the chair frame.
7) The residents’ and caregivers’ body are clear of all pinch points before operating the chair’s
functions.
Failure to follow these safety measures can put the occupants’ or caregivers’ limbs at risk of injury. Occupants who
may be unaware of their body position or unable to maintain a safe body position are at the most risk of the danger
from clamping and caregivers should be more cautious with these occupants. A second caregiver may be required to
ensure the safety of these occupants during these operations.
2.5.6 40BUnintended Movement - “Danger of Falling or Collision”
We recommend Broda chairs for use with NEMT vehicles and where there is not enough slope to cause the chairs to
move unaided. Chairs used where the surface is uneven or sloped are at risk of unintended movement and could
become a serious danger to the resident, caregiver(s), or a third party. We recommend that Broda chairs are located
away from stairwells, elevators, and exterior doorways within a long-term care institution.
Outdoor use is appropriate only under the strict supervision and full attention of a caregiver who is physically
capable of preventing any unintended movement over any surfaces that are to be traveled on. We recommend that a
second caregiver assist when the chair is moved over surfaces that could cause significant unintended movement.
2.5.7 41BOcOccupant Clothing - “Risk of Injury to Resident’s Skin”
We recommend that occupants only be seated while they are fully dressed in clothing that meets the needs of their
specific condition. If after being fully dressed, an occupant’s bare arms, legs, or body could still come into direct
contact with the vinyl pads, we recommend a folded cloth bed sheet to prevent direct contact. Prior to the operation
or movement of a chair with a covering, the caregiver must ensure any covering placed on the chair does not come
into contact with any moving parts and is securely placed, so not to slip.
2.5.8 42BImproper Restraint Use - “Risk of Serious Injury”
We recommend that alternatives to physical restraints be used with occupants while seated in the chair except under
the specific instructions of the occupant’s primary caregiver and with permission of the occupant’s family or
guardian. Physical restraints have been identified as a common cause of serious injury to residents while they are
seated. We recommend that the primary caregiver responsible for seating first consider the re-positioning options
available in the chair to reduce the risks of sliding, falling, or self-injury.
If a physical restraint is determined to be appropriate to prevent sliding or falling out of the chair, we recommend
that the Broda thigh belt be used. In all cases, it is the resident’s primary caregiver that must take responsibility for
the safety of the resident if restraints are used.

7
2.6 13BImproper Use
As outlined, the improper use of the chair is dangerous to the occupant, caregivers, or third parties, and can consist
of, but is not limited to the following:
1) Unauthorized operation of the chair’s functions.
2) Unauthorized movement of the chair.
3) Inappropriate use of the chair for an occupant who has not been assessed by a qualified caregiver
responsible for their seating.
4) Failure to frequently reposition the resident in the chair
5) Attempting to operate multiple chair functions simultaneously by one or more caregivers.
6) Attempting to move the chair with the brake(s) applied.
7) Leaving the occupant unattended in the chair near other objects.
8) Leaving an agitated occupant in the chair in an unsupervised area.
9) Leaving an occupant unattended.
10) Leaving an occupant in a chair on a sloping surface.
11) Leaving a chair unattended on a sloping surface.
12) Using non-Broda accessories on the chair.
13) Using the chair at temperatures below 0ºC.
14) Using the chair as a shower or bathing chair.
15) Using the chair for any use other than its intended purpose.
2.7 14BCleaning
Broda chairs should be wiped clean with soap and water. Diluted household strength ammonia or chlorine based
cleaner, as well as a hospital grade cleaner may be used if necessary.
Refer to the following guide for cleaning certain staining agents (Applies to the Permablok3® vinyl, as per the vinyl
manufacturer’s recommendations) The frame and components of the chair can be cleaned using the same procedure
as the vinyl.
The steps below are also located in the Cleaning Guide found on the back of the Broda chair
Staining Agent Cleaning Procedure
Eye Shadow / Mascara Step 1
Grease / Suntan Lotion / Chocolate Step 1
Blood / Bodily Fluids Step 2
Red Lipstick Step 2

For best cleaning results, certain parts and padding on the chair should be removed: Instructions for removal of the
following parts are located in this manual: Ensure that the entire chair including removable and non-removable parts
is thoroughly cleaned.
Pay close attention to the frame, sockets, fasteners, parts and casters, as well as the padding for an even, thorough
clean.
Remove parts for cleaning if desired:
1) Wings
2) Removable Arms
3) Footrest
4) Padding
Thoroughly clean all removable parts and padding, as well as the frame and components around the parts and
padding that have been removed.
Broda chairs should not be cleaned with petroleum-based cleaners. Any petroleum based products that come in
contact with any vinyl surface should be removed as quickly as possible. Petroleum based products make vinyl
brittle and will damage the seating surface and cushions. Metal parts and cushions should be wiped completely dry
after cleaning. Do not launder vinyl padding. Terry cloth seat and back covers can be laundered and tumble dried.
Do not allow the chair to air dry. Leaving the chair to air dry and not ensuring the entire chair is completely dry may
cause the frame and components to rust. Solvents such as those found in spray lubricants should not be used on
Broda Chairs as they can damage moving parts.
Frequency and method of cleaning the chairs should be determined by facility infection control protocols. If visibly
soiled, thoroughly clean the chair immediately as per the cleaning instructions in this manual.
The cleaning instructions in this manual are guidelines only. Results may vary under actual conditions. The
information does not relieve the user of proper and safe use of the product and all cleaning agents and consideration
for the overall cleaning maintenance of the chair. Cleaning and care instructions must be followed in conjunction
with facility infection control protocols.
Broda will not accept warranty or liability claims on chairs that have not been cleaned according to the instructions
or cared for in proper regard for patient, caregiver and third-party safety and hygiene. The use of certain agents may
be harmful to the surface appearance and lifespan of the vinyl. Broda assumes no responsibility resulting from the
use of such cleaning agents to the vinyl.
Touch up paint is available for the powder coated frame. Please call Broda’s Customer Service Department if touch
up paint is required. Do not leave Broda chairs outdoors as the frame is not UV protected. Leaving the chairs
outdoors could cause the paint to peel.

2.8 15BMaintenance
The maintenance on a Broda chair will vary with the amount of use and the condition of the occupant using the
chair.
In regular use, after the initial inspection and functional testing, the chair should be inspected and tested bimonthly.
We recommend visually inspecting for signs of wear, damage, loose or missing fasteners, and other safety concerns.
Periodic testing of chair functions is also necessary. If a breakage, defect, or operational problem is detected, the
chair must be successfully repaired, inspected and tested for function before it is returned to service.
The chair should be inspected and tested as often as each use if the chair is used by:
1) Aggressive or agitated occupants.
2) Occupants who have involuntary movements.
3) Occupants weighing over 220 lbs.
4) A facility with irregular or sloped surfaces.
5) Any unauthorized person.
Do not use lubricants that contain solvents. Solvents may compromise any rubber components on the chair. If
necessary, white food grade grease or lubricant can be used on any sliding components.

10
2.9 16BOccupant Specific Instructions
The primary caregiver responsible for the specific occupant’s seating shall add additional instructions necessary for
the safe and effective use of the chair based on their professional experience and knowledge of the occupant’s
specific conditions and requirements.
Broda representatives are not professional caregivers and will not know the specific requirements of the individual
using the chair. Broda relies on the knowledge, experience, and judgment of the occupant’s professional caregiver to
ensure the specific occupant’s safety and comfort needs are satisfied while using the chair.
These instructions form an essential part of the Safety Requirements for using the chair and must be made available
to all caregivers. Space is provided below to include these instructions.

34BOPERATION AND MOVEMENT
Safety measures as described in Section 1 must be observed when operating the chair’s functions or moving the
chair. Only authorized caregivers should attempt to operate or move a chair. The caregiver must use proper body
mechanics when operating the chair, and be prepared to support the weight of the resident while operating the chair.
3.1 17BSeat Tilt
Using the seat tilt feature helps keep passengers
comfortable, especially on long trips. Specially
pressurized gas cylinders allow the seat to be tilted to any
position from most upright to the lowest within its range.
Use seat tilt to safely ease your passenger into a
comfortable position. Placing your Travrsa-LT
wheelchair in tilt also lowers the height of the wheelchair,
making it easier to fit through vehicle doors or other areas
of low clearance.
To Activate the Seat Tilt
-Squeeze tilt handle with one hand while placing
your other hand on the bar to assist movement.
-Raise or lower the seat tilt until the desired angle
is achieved.
3.2 18BBack Recline
Your Travrsa-LT features a reclining back. The wheelchair
can recline from upright to a flat position or anywhere in
between. Use back recline to position your client optimally
for a lateral transfers or simply to increase their comfort.
Always be sure to tilt the wheelchair slightly prior to
reclining. This prevents the occupant’s back from sliding
along the back rest during recline, which can cause damage
to the skin. Always bring the occupant back to an upright
seated position after they have boarded your vehicle.
Passengers should never travel in a reclined position.
To Activate the Back Recline
-Squeeze recline handle with one hand while placing
your other hand on the bar to assist movement.
-Raise or lower the back until the desired angle is
achieved.

12
3.3 19BTrendelenburg
The Trendelenburg feature allows caregivers to
quickly position the feet above the head.
To activate Trendelenburg:
-Recline fully, then tilt fully.
3.4 Seat Height
Before raising or lowering the wheelchair, make sure
you have engaged the wheel locks. To lock the rear
wheels in place:
-Activate the rear foot pedal by applying force
to the pad closest to the back of the wheelchair
-To release the lock, apply force to the pad
closest to the front of the wheelchair.
The seat of your Travrsa-LT Transport Wheelchair
raises from 22.5 inches to 32 inches high. This can
assist you in performing lateral transfers. To raise/lower
your chair:
-Begin by placing the wheelchair into the fully-
reclined position.
-To raise the seat height, place one foot on the
foot pump and press downwards repeatedly on
the pad closest to the rear of the wheelchair.
Each pump will raise the chair approximately
½ inch.
-To lower the seat height, use your foot to press
down and hold the pad closest to the front of
the wheelchair. As you hold, the wheelchair
will gradually lower to its original position.
3.5BElevating Leg Rest
The leg support on the Travrsa-LT can be raised or
lowered to make your passenger comfortable. Gas
cylinders allow you to raise the leg rest from the lowest
to the highest position, or anywhere in between. The
leg rest elevates and extends automatically with the
recline feature on the Travrsa-LT, but you can also
adjust the height independently. If the back is in the
reclined position, the leg rest must stay extended and
cannot be lowered.
To Adjust the Leg Support:
-Hold leg support and squeeze the leg rest
handle.

3.9 25BAnti-Tippers
The rear anti -tip devices can be adjusted easily,
which can provide clearance when going up steep
ramps, curbs, hills, or other obstacles.
To adjust the height of the anti-tip devices, press
and hold the red button and raise or lower the anti-
tip device to release it from current setting.
-When adjusting, the anti-tip device will
lock into the next setting. There are three
pre-set heights to choose from.
WARNING: For optimal safety, the anti-tip
devices should be in the lowest position at all times
when an occupant is in the wheelchair. Only raise
the height if necessary, and take extra precautions
as the wheelchair is at greater risk of tipping.
