Drive Silver sport User Manual

CAUTION:
Stability - Wheelchair is designed to be safe and stable as long
as center of gravity is maintained while going about normal
activities. Care must be taken while performing activities that
shift your center of gravity in the chair. Never reach so far that
require you to shift in the seat or bend over out of the chair.
When you have to reach for objects that require you to lean,
be certain front casters are pointing in a forward position that
extends the wheel base and will stabilize the chair.
Ramps - Be sure of your own capabilities, limitations and
strength before attempting to go up a ramp. Correct
techniques on ramp negotiation should be shown to you by
a qualified professional. Assistance is recommended when
going up or down inclines greater than 10
o
. If you must stop on
an incline, avoid sudden, abrupt movement when you resume
movement. Because of backward angle of the chair, sudden
abrupt movement could cause instability. Attempting to use
the wheel lock brakes could result in accidental locking, tipping
to one side, or cause a sudden stop. Avoid changing direction
when going down an incline, as this could result in instability
of tipping over.

Summary

CAUTION

Stability

Wheelchair stability depends on maintaining center of gravity. Avoid reaching too far or bending out of the chair. Ensure front casters are forward for stability.

Ramps

Assess capabilities for ramps. Seek professional guidance for inclines over 10°. Avoid abrupt movements when stopping or starting on inclines to prevent tipping.

Use and Safety

WHEEL LOCKS

Engage wheel locks before entering/exiting or using lifts. Ensure proper adjustment and test locking action before use.

TIRES

Solid rubber tires require minimal maintenance; clean with a damp cloth. Replace if worn or cracked.

FRONT CASTERS

Check and lubricate casters periodically. Ensure proper bearing tightness for smooth steering and to prevent shimmy.

REMOVAL OF SWING-AWAY FOOT RESTS/LEG RESTS

Release lock lever and swing foot/leg rests sideways to remove. This facilitates transfers.

ADJUSTING LENGTH OF FOOTREST/LEG REST

Adjust footrests while seated for thigh support. Ensure adequate ground clearance to prevent pressure points.

ADJUSTING/ELEVATING LEG REST

Lift leg rest to desired position; it locks automatically. Push lever to lower.

WHEELS

Inspect rear wheels monthly for tightness. Adjust axle bolts if loose to prevent wobbling.

GENERAL CARE

Clean chrome parts weekly with a soft cloth. Use auto wax for metal parts and dry immediately if exposed to moisture.

TO OPEN CHAIR

Tilt the wheelchair to one side and push down on the seat rail until fully opened.

TO CLOSE/FOLD CHAIR

Fold foot plates vertically, then lift the seat rail or seat edge to fold.

REMOVABLE ARMS

Remove arms by depressing the spring button and lifting them out of their sockets.

WARNING

General Safety Warnings

Read all instructions before operating. Do not use in vehicles or on public roads. Avoid inclines over 10% without assistance.

Transfer Safety

Ensure wheel locks are engaged before transferring. Transfer on a level surface. Do not stand on footrests.

Operation Precautions

Engage wheel locks when reaching forward. Do not lean on the chair back or change direction abruptly on inclines.

Incline Operation

Do not use wheel locks to slow descent. Avoid sudden direction changes on inclines to prevent instability or tipping.
