Introduction
Specification

Operations
1. To open the chair, tilt to one side and push
down on seat rails.
2. To attach footrests, align the holes on the
footrest arm with the pegs on the frame of
the transport chair.
3. To adjust the length of the footrests, 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 inches from the ground
to permit proper clearance.
4. To remove the swing-away footrest, release
the lock. Swing outward and rearward.
Simply lift up and off to remove the
footrest.
Note: The Transport Chair should not be
operated without the assistance of an
attendant.

Maintenance Tips
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 prior to
use. Contact CareCo for any repairs required.
1. At least once a week, wipe chrome
parts 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 tyres require limited upkeep,
but need to be cleaned periodically with
a damp cloth. Solid rubber tyres need to
be replaced if they become cracked or
severely worn.

Safety Tips
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 the methods most suitable for your
individual needs and abilities.
1. Before entering or leaving the chair,
engage the dual wheel locks against the
tyres on both rear wheels. Make sure the
front castors are in the forward position
before transferring into or out of the chair.
2. 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 castors are in the forward position.
If you are picking an object up from the
floor, go past the object, and then go
backwards. The castors will then swing to
the forward position.
3. Leaning out of the transport chair without
proper assistance could cause tipping.
4. Do not step on the foot plates when
transferring, as this could cause tipping.
