General use Instructions
Safety Lap Belt Use
The lap belt is provided to help the rider be safe and well positioned in the wheelchair. The lap belt should be initially fitted by a qualified
healthcare professional or dealer. While sitting back in the chair, it should be adjusted to be sufficiently tight around the rider's pelvis to keep
from sliding down without causing discomfort. There should be sufficient room to slide a hand between your body and the belt. Adjust belt so
that it buckles in the front.
Warning:
•
The lap belt should be checked each time used for proper fit. A loose lap belt could cause the user to slip between the belt and seat and risk
suffocation or serious injury.
•
Check belt and hardware regularly to be sure it is securely attached and not frayed. Replace belt if worn or torn.
Anti-Tippers
•
Rear anti-tippers help keep the chair from tipping and are recommended attachments for additional safety (Fig 7). The use of anti-tippers is
required on Excel Recliner models.
Warning On Use Of Anti-Tippers:
•
Anti-tippers must be fully engaged. Ensure the release button of the anti-tipper fully protrudes out of the hole on the bottom of the
wheelchair frame.
•
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same height.
•
A 1.5-2" clearance between the bottom of the anti-tipper wheels and the ground/floor must
be maintained at all times.
Installing Anti-Tippers (Included With Recliner Models)
1. Depress the release buttons (Fig 8) and insert the anti-tippers with the anti-tipper wheels
pointing toward the ground/floor into the wheelchair frame tubing.
2. Ensure that the release button of the anti-tipper fully protrudes out of the hole in the
bottom of the wheelchair frame tubing.
3. Adjust anti-tippers as necessary making sure there is a 1.5-2"/38-50 mm clearance
to the ground.
Important Notes:
There are potential finger pinch point areas at moving parts and between the seat frame and
the seat cradles on some models. When opening the wheelchair, take care not to place your
hand or fingers between the seat frame and the seat cradles (if present) or on any other moving parts.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers away from moving parts. DO NOT sit in the wheelchair until the seat is completely in the open position.
Risk of injury may occur if care is not taken.
