4. Before use
4.1 General WARNING
Your HELIO A7 wheelchair has been designed by
professionals with proper use of aluminum in mind. DO
NOT TRY TO MODIFY THE FRAME BY ANY MEANS.
THE FRAME MAY BE SEVERELY DAMAGED IN THE
EVENT OF DRILLING AND GRINDING, THUS
VOIDING THE WARRANTY. Only use Motion
Composites approved and designed clamps and
accessories on your HELIO A7 wheelchair.
4.1.1 Safety Inspections and Maintenance
It is important to keep your wheelchair in proper working
condition.
1. ALWAYS inspect and maintain your Motion Composites
wheelchair strictly in accordance with the instructions and
charts in Chapter 10.4 General Maintenance and Chapter 13
Safety Inspection Checklist.
2. If you detect a problem in the course of your inspections or
maintenance, ALWAYS have the chair serviced or repaired to
correct the problem before using the chair.
3. ALWAYS have your wheelchair completely inspected
and serviced by an authorized Motion Composite certified
technician at least once a year.
4. ALWAYS perform your safety inspections and any
maintenance or adjustments while the chair is unoccupied
(unless this Manual expressly states otherwise).
4.1.2 Motor Vehicle Safety WARNING
Motion Composites wheelchairs are NOT designed to
be used for seating in a motor vehicle, and the
wheelchairs do NOT meet Federal Highway standards
for motor vehicle seating.
NEVER sit in your chair while in any type of moving
vehicle (bus, automobile, van, truck, boat, train, etc.). In
an accident or sudden stop, you may be thrown from
the chair. In an accident or sudden stop, a wheelchair
seat belt will NOT prevent injuries and may, in fact,
cause injuries.
ALWAYS transfer to an approved vehicle seat before the
vehicle begins moving.
ALWAYS secure yourself in the approved vehicle seat using the
proper seating restraints (in a motor vehicle, lap/shoulder belts;
in a plane, lap belts, etc.).
NEVER transport your chair in the front seat of a vehicle.
Movements of the vehicle may cause the chair to shift and
interfere with the driver’s ability to control the vehicle.
When transporting your chair in a moving vehicle, ALWAYS
secure your chair so that it cannot roll or shift. In most cases,
stowing it in the trunk is the safest alternative.
NEVER use any chair that has been involved in a motor vehicle
accident. A wheelchair that has been involved in a motor
vehicle accident may be damaged in ways that are not readily
apparent and which could cause the chair to fail in use.
4.1.3 Acclimating to your new wheelchair
WARNING
Each wheelchair is a unique piece of medical equipment.
Whether you are a new wheelchair user or have years
