CONVAID USER’S GUIDE
• Do not use the chair unless it has proper tire pressure (front 36 psi/rear 30 psi,
248kPa/200kPa, 2.5BAR/2.0BAR). Do not overinate the tires. Failure to follow
these instructions may cause the tire to explode and cause harm. Tire size and
maximum pressure are listed on the wheel.
• Always verify that the quick release axles are locked so that the back wheels do not
come off. You will hear a “click” when wheel locks into place.
• Be aware of newly created sharp edges.
• Frequently inspect the adjustments on the frame and the positioning accessories.
• Do not ignore minor malfunctions and maintain the chair in good operating condition.
• Inspect the wheel locks (brakes) regularly and adjust as needed.
• The Rodeo could lose its ame-resistant characteristics when using after-market
seating or cushions.
• Do not use chair after occupant has outgrown it.
CAUTION: For occupant safety during use:
• The chair is only intended to carry one user at a time. Do not carry more than one
user at a time.
• The weight capacity carried by the Rodeo chair must never exceed the total weight
capacity of the chair (maximum occupant size plus any items carried).
• Always secure the user with belt rst, before making any other adjustments.
• The seat belt should be used at all times.
• Do not strap the user too tight. Straps should not interfere with breathing or circulation.
• Do not leave the user unattended even when he/she is strapped in and the wheel
locks are engaged.
• Always apply the wheel locks before letting go of the chair. Never remove or place
the user without engaging the wheel locks.
• Do not use the footplates for weight support during exit and entry of the chair.
• Always watch for obstacles and avoid them as often as possible.
• When going up a curb or step, face forward and tilt the chair back to lift the front
wheels over the curb. Move forward and lift the rear wheels over the curb.
