Always
start slowly.
You will grow
into the feel of your chair.
By
trying to do to
much
to soon, you
could run the
unnecessary risk
of injury to
yourself
and others.
Have
someone assist as you
familiarize yourse
l
f
with your wheelchair.
Each
new
maneuver
could pose a
potential
risk
of injury.
Backward movements
are
especially
tricky.
Always
have someone
working
with
you until you attain a level of
proficiency when
operating your wheelchair.
Whenever
anyone assists
yo
u
,
it is important that they too read the
owners manual prior
to getting
started.
Avoid
unnecessary
risks
such as
high
speeds,
quick
turns and leaning backward. In addition, avoid
running over objects
which
could cause you to stop
suddenly
or capsize.
You
should always
perform
a safety
check
of your
wheelchair before
each use.
Talk
to your doctor, nurse or therapist
prior
to operating your
wheelchair
to determine safe
methods
of
operation that suit you best
.
Certain
shifts in your weight
while dressing
or
performing
a
physical
activity
may
create a potential
hazard. If these functions are not done
properly,
they could result in a fall or capsizing of the
chai
r
.
To
help prevent
this:
1.
Position
the front casters forward.
2.
Make
sure the anti-tippers (if installed) are
locked
and in the
downward
position.
3.
Move
the rear of the chair so that it is against a
wall
.
4.
Lock
both rear wheels.
