HANDLING TIPS

The Everest & Jennings EJ78X-1 / EJ79X-1 Transport Chair has been designed and engineered to perform as a stable and well balanced unit when used for its intended purpose. However, it is possible to tip the Transport Chair over if it is used improperly. We urge both user and attendant to learn the characteristics of your Transport Chair. It is most important to learn safe methods to perform the daily activities basic to your lifestyle. Use this manual as a guide for developing techniques that you are comfortable with, and consult your medical professionals for assistance in developing the skills and proper techniques to perform all activities safely.

TO ATTENDANT

WARNING: To avoid possible tilt hazard, do not leave user unattended. Attendant must always be behind and in control of Transport Chair when user is being positioned or Transport Chair is in use.

1.Work with the Transport Chair user’s medical professionals to learn the best methods of assistance.

2.Always tell the Transport Chair user what you are about to do and what you expect them to do, especially when changing balance or tipping backward. Remind the Transport Chair user to lean back when tipping backward, to maintain proper weight distribution.

3.When assisting a Transport Chair user, always perform operations carefully and use good body mechanics (bend your knees slightly and keep your back as upright as possible) to prevent personal injury.

WARNING: Ensure that hand grips are firmly attached to push handles before assisting user with Transport Chair. Slippage of hand grips could cause personal injury or Transport Chair damage. If hand grips are loose or in unstable condition, contact your Graham-Field authorized distributor for repair before assisting user with Transport Chair.

WARNING: Do not lift the Transport Chair by any detachable parts; this could cause personal injury to attendant or user, and damage to the Transport Chair. Use the carrying straps to lift the unoccupied Transport Chair.

BALANCE

Proper balance is the key to maintaining the stability of your Transport Chair. Reaching, bending, and transferring to or from a Transport Chair will change your weight distribution and center of gravity. Have an attendant with you at all times, especially when reaching, bending, or transferring. Use the Transport Chair’s positioning belt at all times to maintain proper weight distribution, and ensure that the positioning belt is properly adjusted.

TRANSFER ACTIVITIES

WARNING: Always ensure that the Transport Chair is on a stable, level surface and engage the wheel locks before transfer.

WARNING: Do not step on the footplates; this could cause the Transport Chair to tip. Fold them up, and either detach them, or swing them aside.

WARNING: There is a critical moment when there is little or no seat platform beneath you. Take every precaution to reduce this unsupported distance before you attempt transfer.

Transferring into or out of a Transport Chair is a very difficult maneuver; exercise extreme care when transferring, and never transfer without the aid of an attendant. Consult your physician, nurse, or physical therapist for assistance in developing your individual technique. Make sure that the Transport Chair is stabilized, and will not move or slide during the transfer. Take extra precaution to prevent tipping. Use good body mechanics to prevent personal injury.
