WHEELCHAIR SAFETY AND HANDLING

“Safety and Handling” of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the wheelchair user

as well as the assistant. This manual points out the most common procedures and

techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the wheelchair. It is important

to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering

around the frequently encountered architectural barriers.

Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed on the

following pages have been used successfully by many users.

Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may

differ from those described in this manual. Probasics recognizes and encourages each

individual to try what works best for him/her in overcoming architectural obstacles that they

may encounter, however ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be

followed. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and

assistant with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.

WARNINGS (All MODELS)

The position of the front casters, position of the rear wheels, as well as the user

condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or

any combination of the three (3) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability.

These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.

ALL warnings and cautions in this manual must be followed unless otherwise noted.

DO NOT TRAVERSE, CLIMB or GO DOWN ramps or slopes greater than 9°.

DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.

DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your

wheelchair to tip over and cause bodily harm to you or damage to the wheelchair.

DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.

DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair,

make sure that the footplates are in the upward position.

ALWAYS use the hand rims for self-propulsion. DO NOT grip the rear wheels

themselves.

DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by

Probasics.

WARNINGS (Recliner Operation)

Rear anti-tippers MUST BE attached at all times.

ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable and either in the full reclined (180°)

position and the full upright (90°) position BEFORE operation the recliner mechanism.

ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or raising the back of the

wheelchair.

Make sure the spreader bar is secured with the tightening knob before using the

wheelchair. Make sure both back canes are at the same angle before releasing the

handles of the recline mechanism.

ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair.

TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS/ASSISTANTS:

This Recliner wheelchair MUST be operated by a healthcare professional or assistant

when in any reclined position.

Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the wheelchair before reclining or

raising the back to maintain maximum stability and safety.

Assistants MUST be prepared to support the weight of the occupant when reclining,

or returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position. Make sure to

use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek assistance if necessary to avoid

injury.

Make sure occupant's and bystanders' hands and body are clear of all pinch points

before reclining back. Use caution, otherwise injury may occur.

WEIGHT TRAINING

Probasics DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training

apparatus. Probasics wheelchairs have NOT been designed or tested as a seat

for any kind of weight training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight

training apparatus, Probasics shall NOT be liable for bodily injury and the

warranty is void.

STABILITY AND BALANCE

To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times maintain

proper balance. Your wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and stable during

normal daily activities as long as you do not move beyond the center of gravity.

Virtually all activites that involve movement in the wheelchair have an effect on the cent of

gravity. Probasics recommends using seat/chest-positioning straps for additional safety

while involved in activities that shift your weight.

DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests.

Make sure the casters are pointing in the forward position whenever you lean forward. This

can be achieved by advancing the wheelchair and then reversing it in a straight-line.

COPING WITH EVERYDAY OBSTACLES

Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be alleviated somewhat by learning how

to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability and

balance.

A NOTE TO WHEELCHAIR ASSISTANTS

When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body

mechanics. Keep your back straight and bend your knees whenever tipping the wheelchair

or traversing curbs, or other impediments.

When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced assistant help you before

attempting in alone.

WARNINGS

DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting

by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to

the user or damage to the wheelchair.

Always verify that hand grips on the rear back posts are secure PRIOR to use

whenever an assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of

looseness or deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT

attempt to move the wheelchair by pulling on the handgrips if they are found to be

unsecure or have deteriorated.

IMPORTANCE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

Many activities require the wheelchair owners to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the

wheelchair. These movements will cause a change to the normal balance, the center of

gravity, and the weight distribution of the wheelchair.

Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning, or bending forward,

it is important to use the front casters as a tool to maintain stability and balance.

WARNING

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching

and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified

healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.

REACHING, LEANING AND

BENDING FORWARD

Position the front casters so that they are

extended as far forward as possible and

lock the wheel locks.

REACHING, LEANING

BACKWARDS

Position the wheelchair as close as

possible to the desired object. Point the

front casters forward to create the longest

possible wheelbase. Reach back but only

as far as your arm will extend without

changing your sitting position.
