Safety / Handling of Wheelchairs
Safety and handling of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the
wheelchair user as well as the assistant. This manual points out the most
common procedures and techniques involved in the safe operation and
maintenance of the wheelchair. It is important to practice and master these safe
techniques until you are comfortable in manoeuvring around the frequently
encountered architectural barriers.
Use this information only as a basic guide. The techniques that are discussed on
the following pages have been used successfully by many users.
Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities
that may differ from those described in this manual. All warnings and cautions
given in this manual MUST be followed.
Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and
assistant with safety as the most important consideration for all.
Stability and Balance
To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times
maintain proper balance. Your wheelchair has been designed to remain upright
and stable during normal daily activities as long as you do not move beyond the
centre of gravity.
Virtually all activities which involve movement in the wheelchair have an effect on
the centre of gravity. Use the adjustable seatbelt for additional safety.
DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the
armrests. Make sure the castors are pointing in the forward position whenever
you lean forward. This can be achieved by advancing the wheelchair and then
reversing a little in a straight line.

Operating Instructions
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching
and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified health
professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose and/or
worn, replace immediately.
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 38°C or below 0°C), high
humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure hand grips DO NOT twist on the
wheelchair handle—otherwise damage or injury may occur.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat as this may
tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by
reaching down between your knees as this may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this
may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching, as
this may tip the wheelchair.
DO NOT tilt the wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors—serious injury may
occur.
NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks. Wheel locks are
not brakes.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be
taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both castors parallel to the object you are
transferring onto. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS lock both
hand brakes (locks) before transferring to and from the wheelchair.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline which has a film of water, ice or oil on
it.
DO NOT attempt to ride over kerbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your
wheelchair to tip, causing bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair.
DO NOT over tighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to
the frame tubing.

7"
Using the Stepper Tube
Use the stepper tube to raise the front castors
(when mounting a low kerb for example). To
use, push down on the stepper tube with your
foot. DO NOT raise the front castors by pushing
down on the push handles as this could tip the
wheelchair.
To mount a low kerb. Approach the low kerb
head on. Then the assistant uses the stepper
tube to raise the front castors, and lowers the
front castors on the raised kerb. Finally the
assistant should push the wheelchair forward,
lifting it up slightly to mount the kerb if required.
WARNING
After any adjustments, and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely. Otherwise, injury or damage may result.
As with any vehicle, the wheels and tyres should be checked periodically for
cracks and wear, and should be replaced when necessary.
To go down a low kerb. Line up the front castors with the edge of the low kerb.
The assistant uses the stepper tube to raise the front castors and tip the users
back slightly. Keeping the castors raised slowly move the wheelchair forward and
slowly lower it down the low kerb.
Warning: When going down a low kerb, the front castors must be raised to
prevent the user from falling forward. The above are only recommendations and
may not be suitable for all events.
