Environment
“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.
Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may dier from those described
in this manual. RGK recognises and encourages each individual to try what works best for him/her in overcoming
architectural obstacles that they may encounter. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user
and assistant with“safety”as the most important consideration for all.
WARNING
Do not expose the product or any of its accessories
to any form of excessive heat or naked ame.

Weight Training
RGK DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs
as a weight training apparatus. RGK products have NOT
been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight
training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight
training apparatus, RGK shall NOT be liable for bodily
injury and the warranty will be voided immediately.
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
chair have an eect on the centre of gravity.
Make sure the castors are pointing in the forward
position whenever you lean forward. This can be
achieved by advancing the chair and then reversing it
in a straight line. See Fig 1.
Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can
be alleviated somewhat by learning how to manage
your wheelchair. Keep in mind your centre of gravity to
maintain stability and balance.
WARNING
The position of the footrest, camber tube, height,
as well as the tautness of the back upholstery are
directly related to the chairs stability. Any change
to one or any combination of the three may cause
the chair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME
caution when using a new seating position for the
rst time.

Safety Handling
of your Wheelchair
WARNING
A note to wheelchair assistants
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any
removable (detachable) parts.
Lifting by means of any removable (detachable)
parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to you the
assistants and damage your wheelchair.
NOTE – Wheelchair Assistants
When assistance to the wheelchair user is required,
remember to use good body mechanics. Keep your
back straight and bend your knees whenever tilting
the wheelchair or traversing kerbs, or any other
impediments
Tilting
When tilting the wheelchair, an assistant should
grasp the back of the chair on a non-removable
(non-detachable) part. Inform the chair occupant
before tilting the chair and remind him/her to lean
back.
Be sure the occupant’s feet and hands are clear of all
wheels. Apply a continuous motion until the balance
point is achieved.
At this point, the assistant will feel a dierence in
the weight distribution. Turn the chair in the desired
direction if necessary. Slowly lower the chair in one
continuous movement. See Fig 2.
DO NOT let the chair drop the last few inches
to the ground. This could result in injury to
the occupant.
CAUTION
DO NOT tilt the chair without assistance. After
mastering the techniques of tilting the chair, use this
procedure to tackle kerbs, short stairs, etc.

Method 1
The assistant should tilt the chair until the front castors
clear the kerb. Roll the chair forward and lower the front
castors to the pavement. Push the chair forward until
the rear wheels roll up and over the kerb. See Fig 3 and
Fig 4.
Method 2
The assistant should stand on the pavement and turn
the chair so that the rear wheels are against the kerb.
The chair should be tilted back to the balance point
and, in one continuous movement, the rear wheels
should be pulled up and over the kerb. See g 5.
DO NOT return the front castors to the ground
until the chair back has been pulled backward
far enough to clear the edge of the kerb. Unless
the assistant has exceptional upper body
strength, it is recommended that two assistants
be utilised when choosing Method 2.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting
on any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting
by means of any removable (detachable)
parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to
the user or damage to the wheelchair.
WARNING
Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to
move an occupied wheelchair up or down the stairs.
RGK recommends using two assistants and making
thorough preparations. Make sure to use ONLY
secure, non-detachable parts for hand-hold supports.

Issue No: 14 | 2015 12
Reaching, Leaning and Bending – Forward
When reaching for any objects either in front, to
the side or behind your wheelchair make sure that
you do not lean too far out of your wheelchair,
as this will change your centre of gravity, and
there is a risk of tipping or losing your balance.
Transferring to and from other seats
WARNING
BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the
wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to
reduce the gap distance. Turn both castors toward
the object you are transferring onto. See Fig 9. Also be
certain the wheel locks are engaged to help prevent
the wheels from moving.
CAUTION!
When transferring, position yourself as far back
as possible in the seat. This will prevent damaged
upholstery and the possibility of the chair tipping
forward.
User Manual | Handling of Wheelchairs
Fig 9
The hanging of additional loads such as a
laptop bag or back pack on your backrest can
aect the rearward stability of your chair. This
can cause your wheelchair to lift at the front
and the chair to tip backwards, potentially
causing injury or property damage.
CAUTION
WARNING
Do not stand on footplate during transfer.
DANGER
DO NOT use an escalator to move a
wheelchair between oors as this could
cause serious personal injury or property
damage.

User Manual
Issue No: 14 | 2015 13
Transferring to and from other seats
WARNING
RGK does NOT recommend that your wheelchair
be transported up or down stairways with you in
it.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any
removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of
any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair
may result in injury to you the assistants and
damage your wheelchair.
NOTE
Wheelchair Assistants
When assistance to the wheelchair user is required,
remember to use good body mechanics. Keep your
back straight and bend your knees whenever titling
the wheelchair or traversing kerbs, or any other
impediments.
NOTE
This activity may be performed independently
provided you have adequate mobility and upper
body strength. Position the chair as close as possible
along side the seat to which you are transferring, with
the front castors pointing toward it, engage wheel
locks. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.
During independent transfer, little or no seat platform
will be beneath you. Use a transfer board if at all
possible.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move
forward in the seat or pick them up from the oor by
reaching down between your knees.
WARNING
The position of the footrest, camber tube and rear
seat height, as well as the tautness of the back
upholstery are directly related to the chairs stability.
Any change to one or any combination of the four
may cause the chair to decrease in stability. Use
EXTREME caution when using a new seating position
for the rst time.
Many activities require the wheelchair owner to reach,
bend and transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These
movements will cause a change to the normal balance,
the centre of gravity, and the weight distribution
of the wheelchair. To determine and establish your
particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and
transferring activities in several combinations in the
presence of a qualied health professional BEFORE
attempting active use of the wheelchair.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When
reaching, leaning, bending or bending forward, it is
important to use the front castors as a tool to maintain
stability and balance. See Fig 10.

Lengthening and shortening the wheelbase
Lengthening the wheelbase will increase the stability
and maintain standard manoeuvrability of the chair.
Shortening the wheelbase will increase the
manoeuvrability and distribute additional weight onto
the rear wheels.
To lengthen the wheelbase move Camber Bar toward
the rear of the frame. See Fig 11.
To shorten the Wheelbase move the Camber Bar
toward the front of the frame. See Fig 11.

being used to slow down. Extra caution is to be
used when going downhill.
WARNING
Manoeuvring across a slope may
aect the stability of the wheelchair.
Use extreme caution on slopes.
