I. POSITIONING BELTS (OPTIONAL)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the rider’s posture. Improper use of these belts may cause severe injury to or death of the rider.

1.Make sure the rider does not slide down in the wheelchair seat. If this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from the belts.

2.The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they interfere with breathing. You should be able to slide your open hand, flat, between the belt and the rider.

3.A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep the rider from sliding down in the seat. Consult with the rider’s doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if the rider needs such a device.

4.Use positioning belts only with a rider who can cooperate. Make sure the rider can easily remove the belts in an emergency.

5.NEVER Use Positioning Belts:

a.As a patient restraint. A restraint requires a doctor’s order.

b.On a rider who is comatose or agitated.

c.As a motor vehicle restraint. In an accident or sudden stop the rider may be thrown from the chair. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury may result from the belts or straps.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

J. POWER DRIVE (OPTIONAL)

Do not install a non Quickie-approved power drive on any Quickie wheelchair. If you do:

1.It will affect the center of balance of your chair and may cause a fall or tip-over.

2.It will alter the frame and void the warranty.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

K. PUSH HANDLES (OPTIONAL)

When you have a attendant, make sure that this chair has push handles.

1.Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to hold the rear of this chair, to prevent a fall or tip-over. Make sure to use push handles when you have an attendant.

2.Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

L.QUICK-RELEASE AXLES

1.Do not use this chair UNLESS you are sure that both quick-release rear axles are locked. An unlocked axle may come off during use and cause a fall.

2.An axle is not locked until the quick-release button pops out fully. An unlocked axle may come off during use, resulting in a fall, tip-over or loss of control and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.

M. REAR WHEELS

A change in set-up of the rear wheels will affect the center of balance of your chair.

1.The farther you move the rear axles FORWARD, the more likely it is that your chair will tip over backward.
