Safety Checklist
WARNING: Before Each Use of Your Wheelchair:
1.
Make sure the wheelchair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly. Check for noise,
vibration, or a change in the ease of use. (They may indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners,
or damage to your chair).
2.
Repair any problem. If you are unable to find the problem call or email for assistance or you
can contact your health care advisor. Do not continue to use the chair until any problems have
been identified and corrected.
3.
If your wheelchair has quick-release axles, check to see that both quick-release rear axles are
locked. When locked, the axle button will “pop out” fully. If not locked, the wheel may come
off and cause you to fall.
4.
If your wheelchair has anti-tip tubes, lock them in place.
5.
Before using the wheelchair, make sure the solid seat is fully engaged.
6.
Before riding the wheelchair, make sure the footrest is installed securely.
Changes and Adjustments
WARNING:
1.
If you modify or adjust your wheelchair, it may increase the risk of damage to it, injury to
yourself, a fall, a tip-over and/or loss of control and may cause injury to yourself and/or others.
2.
It is recommended that you use anti-tip tubes until you adapt to the change, and are sure you
are not at risk to tip over and/or lose control of the chair.
