Negotiating Kerbs
lPractice with an empty wheelchair pushing and pulling a wheelchair
down/up a kerb.
lDon't forget to inform user about about what you intend to do.
lThe chair must be lined up at 90° to the kerb.
lIt is safer to go down a kerb backwards. It requires less strength and
gives a gentler ride.
lSlowly roll the rear wheels down from the kerb so that both wheels
touch the road at the same time.
lWhen the occupant's feet are clear of the kerb, gently lower the front to
the road.
lWhen the front casters are just clear of the kerb, push the wheelchair
forwards until the casters rest on the pavement.
lDo not tip the wheelchair back more than necessary.
It is always best to avoid kerbs. If a kerb is unavoidable then the above shared
precautions should be taken for a safe journey.

ramps.

7. IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
l The wheel chair’s maximum weight capacity is 150 kg. Don't put weight
more than its capacity.
l Adjust the wheelchair including footrest and armrest properly before
getting in or up from the chair.
l Ensure that the brake is locked when getting on/off the wheelchair.
Refer to the Pic below on how to use the brake.

12 13
lAvoid forcing your chair down or up staircases, slopes and inclines.
lThe wheelchair is designed to operate on a pathway which is clear of all
obstacles. So, don't force your way through stairways, rough terrain,
sloppy pathways, and other rough surfaces.
lTo move up a step, the care giver who is pushing the wheelchair must
step on the tipping bar and push downwards at the handle, such that
the front wheel castors are raised onto the step. Next, pull upwards at
the handles to bring up the rear wheels. Do not try to push over the
steps by force.
lTo move up or down a steep slope, ensure that a care giver is around to
support the wheelchair; otherwise, the chair may overturn. For a steep
downward slope. The wheelchair should be turned to face up slope, and
the care giver should back the chair downwards gradually.
lNever turn wheelchair while going
downhill, as it could p over.
l When turning at a sharp corner, reduce
speed to avoid pping over.
lDo not place the wheel chair near any
sources of re, or else the backrest may be
set on re, resulting in injuries.
l Do remember to engage the brake even
when stopping for a short while. Make it a
habit to engage brakes.
l Always lock the brakes of the wheels when
not in use or getting off from the chair.

patient on it, do not hold on to the
handles if the chair's backrest is the
foldable kind, otherwise the back rest
may be damaged.

it reaches to its balance point as it could
result in personal injury to the user.

the foot plate.

8. GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF WHEELCHAIR
A regular maintenance is important to maximize durability of the
wheelchair. It also ensures the proper functionality of the chair for a long
time.
Cleaning
To maintain Dr Trust Wheelchair appearance and a prolonged life lspan, it
should be cleaned properly. Greasy or fatty substances can reduce the
service life of the chair so, it is important to clean it properly on a regular
basis. Moreover the fabric used on the chair is easy to clean. Add a small
amount of washing power in warm water and apply it on the fabric with a
cloth. Rinse off it with clean water and leave it to dry. Antiseptic solutions
can also be applied to the fabric.
Removing Stains
Although the wheelchair is resistant to most of mild chemicals and household
stains but if something is absorbed by it that may cause a permanent stain, can
be exnguished by cleaning it with a soapy sponge.
CAUTIONS
Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleaching powder, wax polish, abrasive
cleaner etc as the use of any of these material could harm PVC laminates and
subsequently lead to cracks on the surface of chair.
lWhile transferring, do not step on or stand on the footplates as it may
cause personal injury or damage to your wheelchair.
lDon't forget to engage wheel locks before transferring either using an
elevator or a wheelchair lift.
lFor safe transfer always stop the wheelchair on a stable and level surface
and engage wheel locks.
lAvoid placing heavy items on the back of the wheelchair as this can
cause the wheelchair to tip backwards during transferring.
lYou can attach ashy items on your wheelchair when you go out at night
so that people can easily see you in dark streets or other places.

9. WHEELCHAIR TROUBLESHOOTING
lIt is a folding frame wheelchair, so the folding mechanism should be
checked regularly for easiness of use. If you find any stiffness, apply
small amount of silicon spray to alleviate it.
lIf folding the wheelchair becomes difficult, the frame may be bent and
you will need to check it.
lIf the chair is veering to one direction, it means there is some issue in its
parts alignment, these parts need to be adjusted straightaway for
making seating comfortable.
lIf you diagnose toe-in or toe-out issue (difference in the distance
between the both front and back wheels' levels of the axles),
adjustments need to be done. Usually this can be achieved by using
washers to space the axle block, either at the front or the back,
whichever is appropriate. Sometimes, adjustment of toe-in or toe-out
can be done by rotating of the axle bar.
lIf the wheels do not spin well, there could be the bearings problem. It
may be loose or worn and you need to review all wheels on weekly
basis.
Below are some general guidelines for wheelchair troubleshooting.

16 17
lUsers should not attempt major repairs or modications.
lApproved Distributors have full Service Information and are able to
advise if the chair becomes damaged, requiring major part replacement,
or retting.
lIf you have any doubt about service requirements, contact to the
Customer Support Department of Dr Trust.
lFrequency of distributor service maintenance depends on usage level.
CAUTIONS
lIf you nd excessive sideways movement of the wheels, it could be
because of loosening of the nuts holding the axle. They should be
checked and tightened properly if required.
lIf there is excessive grinding noise and sideways movement, it may be
because of worn bearing. You need to replace this part with the help of a
qualied professional.
lCheck and tight the nuts on the stem bolt or caster fork to restrict the
free movement of the caster.
lIf it is harder to push and turn the wheelchair, check its tyres' pressure.
Always keep them inated to maintain the standard pressure level as
over inated tyre can also cause a problem.
lReplace worn tyre immediately as it may result in poor traction and also
affect the efficiency of brakes.
lEradicate malfunctions related to brakes and all other safety features by
your own or with the help of a professional.
lWe recommend that chairs are checked by the distributor at assessed
intervals, according to the level of use and usage environment.
lWarranty can be affected if a wheelchair is not adequately maintained.
lUsers should note that wheelchairs retain appearance if looked after and
cleaned regularly.
