G. FREE WHEEL MECHANISM
1. Do not engage or disengage the free wheel mechanism unless power to the chair is off.
2. With the brakes released, the chair will not operate and the battery charge indicator
will flash 9 bars rapidly (if power to the chair is on).
3. Be aware that the chair will not have brakes when the free wheel mechanism is in
the free-wheel position.
4. Make sure that the person pushing the chair has full control when the free wheel
mechanism is disengaged.
5. Both motors must be disengaged, so that the wheelchair can be pushed.
H. ON/OFF SWITCH
1. Never use the ON/OFF switch to stop the chair except in an emergency. This will
result in an abrupt stop, and may cause you to fall.
2. To slow your chair to a stop, return the joystick to neutral.
I. PNEUMATIC TYRES
Proper inflation extends the life of your tyres and makes your chair easier to use.
1. Do not use this chair if any of the tyres are under- or over-inflated. Check weekly for
proper inflation level, as listed on the tyre sidewall.
2. Low pressure in a tyre may cause the chair to veer to one side and result in a loss of
control
3. An over-inflated tyre may burst.
4. Never use a petrol station air pump to inflate a tyre. Such pumps provide air at high
volume, and could cause the tyre to burst. To prevent tyre damage:
•Use a hand pump (or a low volume air pump) to inflate tyres.
•Use a tyre gauge to check pressure.
5. Driving over sharp objects may cause damage to pneumatic tyres and tubes.
J. POSITIONING BELTS (OPTIONAL)
Use a positioning belt only to help support your posture. Improper use of such belts may
cause severe injury or death.
1. Make sure you are not at risk to slide down in the wheelchair seat. If this occurs, you
may suffer chest compression or suffocate due to pressure from the belt.
2. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep you from sliding down in the seat.
Consult your health care professional to find out if you need such a device.
3. The belt must be snug, but must not be so tight that it interferes with breathing. You
should be able to slide your open hand, flat, between the belt and your stomach.
4. Make sure you can easily remove the belt in an emergency.
5. Never use a positioning belt:
•In place of a motor vehicle seat belt. In an accident or sudden stop you may be
thrown from the chair. A positioning belt will not prevent this, and further injury
may result from the belt.
•As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor's order.
•On a user who is comatose or agitated.
K. PUSH HANDLES
1. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant to propel and control the chair.
This helps to prevent a fall or tip-over.
2. Check to make sure push handle grips will not rotate or slip off.
