2.2 Reaching, Leaning and Bending-Backward

When tipping the wheelchair, two assistants are required. The second assistant should be positioned at the front of the wheelchair, lifting upward on a non-removable part of the frame when lifting, and stabilizing when lowering. The first assistant should stand on the sidewalk, turn the wheelchair so the rear wheels are against the curb. Turn the anti-tippers up. Tilt the wheelchair back to the balance point and, in one continuous upward movement, pull the rear wheels up and over the curb.

2.4 Stairways

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to Figure 3.

1. Remove the anti-tippers from the wheelchair.
2. Follow similar steps as for tipping.
3. The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last stair has been negotiated and the wheelchair has been rolled away from the stairway.

5. General Guidelines

5.1 Stability

Before using any recline position, ensure the rear wheels are positioned optimally for stability. Factors affecting stability include seat height, seat angle, pivot point of the seat frame, seating system, caster position, rear wheel size and position, and user condition. Any change to these factors may compromise stability. Adjustments must be performed by an authorized dealer or qualified technician.

Before using the recliner option, ensure the anti-tipper wheel assemblies are in the lowest adjustment hole (closest to the ground/floor).

5.2 Safety information

1. Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied.
2. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
3. DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with water, ice, or oil film.
4. DO NOT operate on roads, streets, or highways.
5. DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles, as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over and result in bodily harm or damage.
6. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
7. DO NOT attempt to reach objects by picking them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
8. DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
9. DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching, as the wheelchair may tip over.
10. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.
11. DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance.
12. DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors, as serious bodily injury may occur.
13. DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts, as this may result in injury or damage.

15. DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, ensure the footplates are in the upward position.

5.3 Self-lock device

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to Figure 12.

The wheel lock is not a brake. DO NOT use it to slow or stop the wheelchair. The wheel lock is used to prevent movement while stopped.

Pull up the wheel lock handle until the rear wheel cannot move, then put the self-locker into a locking position. The wheelchair will be self-locked. Pull up the wheel lock handle again to release the self-locker.

5.4 Anti-tipper

NOTE: The anti-tippers must maintain a 1-1/2 to 2-inch clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the floor.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to Figure 13.

Operate the bolt to install, remove, or adjust the anti-tipper.

NOTE: Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and the bolt fully protruding out of the adjustment holes. Please review before use.
