CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
CAUTION: To prevent tipping:
• The use of anti-tip tubes should be used if the user’s weight is less than 50lbs (22.7kg)
• Do not hang items from the push handle to avoid tipping.
• Be sure that the user does not lean out of the chair too far when reaching for
objects in front, to the side, or behind the chair. A shift in the center of gravity might
cause the chair to tilt or tip over.
• If front edge of seat is at or forward of the point where tires touch the oor, avoid
using front of seat tubes for support during entry or exit from chair to prevent tipping.
.
CAUTION: When using the chair in transit:
• If and whenever possible and feasible, the rider should transfer out of the chair and
into an approved vehicle seat and passenger restraint system. However, if a transfer
is not possible, use only designated chairs in a moving vehicle which contain
the Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint System (WTORS) following the
requirements of SAE J2249. Follow tie-down harness manufacturer’s instructions
carefully and refer to Transit Section for specics.
• Positioning belts should never be used as a safety restraint device in a motor
vehicle when transporting the chair with an occupant. An additional WC19 (ISO
7176- 19) compliant automotive type seat belt is required when the chair is used in
transport vehicles.
• A ve-point harness should be used for occupant weight less than 51lb (23kg).
• All accessories must be removed from the chair and secured separately.
In case of an adverse event occurred in relation to the device incident should be reported to your local
dealer and national competent authority in a timely manner. The local dealer will forward information
to manufacturer.
