SAFETY REGULATIONS
Current information
Up-to-date information on safety and product updates can be found at Panthera’s
www.panthera.se
Verify that your wheelchair corresponds with your order:
- Ensure you have received the accessories you ordered.
Conduct a technical inspection of your wheelchair, ensuring that:
- the rear wheel’s quick release can easily be shifted in and out of its casings.
- the quick release button springs out fully while in locked position.
- the caster fork can be rotated with ease.
Balance and tipping capacity
and the backrest upholstery adjustment. After adapting your chair, check that you feel
unexpected change to the surface you are driving on.
Anti-tip device
Panthera wheelchairs are designed to be as manoeuvrable as possible, which means
the chair responds quickly and seamlessly to the actions you perform. If you perform the
wrong actions you could tip over in the chair. If you operate the wheelchair incorrectly and
do not have an anti-tip device, there is a risk you may tip backwards.
The anti-tip device is a safety feature that is intended to prevent falling backwards in the
wheelchair.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
Wheelchair technique
It is important to test your wheelchair skills and take the time required to hone your wheel-
chair technique. If you have any questions on wheelchair technique, contact the person
who prescribed the chair or your therapist. You are also welcome to get in touch with the
team at Panthera AB.
Anti-roll device
Note that the anti-roll device is not designed to be used as a brake. It´s designed to keep
the wheelchair still while the user makes transfer in or out of the wheelchair or while doing
some activity. It also prevents the wheelchair from moving when it´s unattended.
Note that it is possible to force the wheels and chair forward even when
the anti-roll device is activated.
PLEASE NOTE! In order for the anti-roll devices to function correvtly, the tyres must con-
tain the correct air pressure. See technical facts.
dimensions may vary.
Driving
The reason why the wheelchair is for indoor use and outdoor use on at surfaces under
adult supervision only is that it has only one castor (for the wheelchair to turn more easy)
This make the risk higher for the wheelchair to tip over forward when you in high speed
run into an obsticle or down in a pit. This could also happend indoor but it is much less
common.
of the wheelchair. A basic strap is included when buying the wheelchair. If this torso strap
is not enough, the child should not use the wheelchair until the prescriber has provided
one that gives full protection.
Be aware of obsticles like thresholds, where the castor can get stuck and cause a fall
forward.
The wheelchair can also be equipped with a push handle to enable the child to be pushed
in the wheelchair by an assistent.
Driving on an uneven or inclined surface increase the risk of falling both forward and
backwards.

SAFETY REGULATIONS
Lifting while the user is in the wheelchair (Fig. 3)
If the wheelchair is to be lifted while the user remains seated, always grip the chair’s chas-
sis. See arrows in Fig. 3.
Do not lift using the push handles, wheels or other movable sections.
Wheelchair technique – Ramps and sloping surfaces
Driving up ramps and sloping surfaces (Fig. 4)
When you are going to drive up a ramp, you need to take a bit of a run-up, keep a steady
speed and at the same time control your direction. Lean your upper body forwards and
move both rear wheels with fast, powerful pushes.
Driving down sloping surfaces (Fig. 5)
When driving down sloping surfaces and slopes, it is important that you have control over
your direction and speed. Lean back and allow the rear wheels to move slowly through
your hands. You should be able to stop the wheelchair at any time by grasping the rear
wheels.
Warm or cold surfaces
If the wheelchair is exposed to sunshine for long periods, its surfaces may become extre-
mely warm. The wheelchair´s surfaces can also become very cold if is stored or used in
cold conditions.

trapped in the rear wheel’s spokes
inside the spokes.
In the attachments between the footplate and the chassis there are openings where there
is a risk of entrapment.
Friction burns
speed with your hands on the rear wheels, as the friction between the hands and rear
wheels generates high heat.
SETTINGS
When adjusting the chair to suit your sitting posture and provide the mobility you require, it
is important that you make the adjustments in the correct order.
Firstly, adjust the chair to enable the correct sitting posture. Only then can you adjust the
balance of the wheelchair to provide the mobility you require. This must be done in the
-
chair.
Set aside a day to experiment with alternative settings and see how they feel, to ensure
the sitting posture and balance of the wheelchair are just right for you.
Adjustments to the wheelchair’s settings must take place in the following order
1. Seat upholstery
2. Foot plate setting
3. Backrest and backrest upholstery
4. The balance of the wheelchair
5. Hip belt
6. Push handle
