IV. WHEELCHAIR USE & CONFIGURATION
CC. Cane and Crutch Holder
WARNING: Always remove any items temporarily attached to the wheelchair while in a
motor vehicle. Leaving items attached and not storing them securely and separately in a
motor vehicle could result in these items becoming dangerous projectiles in the event of a
sudden or abrupt change in speed or direction. Additionally, secure canes or crutches in a
proper manner while riding your wheelchair. These items may become entangled in the
wheelchair resulting in a fall or tip-over. A fall or tip-over may result in damage to your
chair or in serious injury or death.
How to Use Cane or Crutch Holder
1. Place narrow end of cane or crutch in the bottom receiving cup (Fig. 33:B).
2. Use the hook and loop fastener (Fig. 33:A) to secure the cane or crutch to the upper back
cane. Confirm the canes or crutches will stay securely in place, both vertically and
horizontally, when the wheelchair is in motion.
