Basic Propulsion
To move forwards or backwards, the user should release the brakes, grasp the
handrims (attached to rear wheels) and with a pushing action rotate them
forwards or pull them backwards respectively.
To move to the right, hold the right handrim steady and push forward with the
left handrim. To move to the left, hold the left handrim steady and push forward
the right handrim.
Transferring to and from the Chair
Circumstances and individual needs will vary from
person to person, but if there are difficulties we advise
you to consult your therapeutic advisor who will help
you to develop your skill for appropriate transfer
method that suits you.
During transfer always make sure that the brakes are in
a locked position and the wheelchair is manoeuvred as
close as possible to the transfer seat
Tyres
Regularly check the condition of front & rear tyres for wear and tear. Contact
your supplier for replacements.
If you have pneumatic tyres fitted, the pressure indicated on the side of the tyre
wall should not be exceeded.
Slopes and Gradients
Do not attempt to climb or descend beyond your limitations
to avoid tipping over.
Climbing Upwards
Lean the upper body forward and move the wheelchair
forwards with short quick pushes on the handrims.
Downward Travel
Lean backwards in the chair and let the handrim slide gently
through your hands to control downward speed and direction.
NOTE: When travelling down or up a slope, avoid sharp
turns, zigzag movements or moving across the slope

Safe Operation
When using indoors beware of narrow doors, steps, high surfaces, protruding
wall fittings and everyday household items such as children’s toys, electrical ap-
pliances etc. Take extra care in kitchen environments.
To ensure stability and safe control you must maintain proper balance at all
times. The wheelchair is designed to remain stable during normal use as long as
you do not move you centre of gravity outside the normal seating position.
When reaching/bending forward do not lean your body out of the wheelchair further
than the length of the armrests. Do not attempt to reach objects by sliding forwards to
the edge of the seat.
When reaching/bending backwards do not reach any further than your arm will ex-
tend without changing your seating position.
Never attempt to use an escalator or stairway, always use a lift.
Occasionally check that the adjustments of the footrests and armrests are secure
and are set in the most comfortable position for use.
