VI. GENERAL WARNINGS

V. WHEELCHAIR LIFTS

WARNING

Wheelchair lifts are used in vans, buses, and buildings to

help you move from one level to another.

1. Always turn off all power to your chair when you are on a

lift. If you fail to do so, you may touch the joystick by acci-

dent and cause your chair to drive off the platform. (Be

aware that a “roll-stop” at the end of the platform may not

prevent this).

2. Make sure there is not a lip or drop-off at the top or bottom

f the platform. These may cause a fall or tip-over. When in

doubt, have someone help you.

3. Always position the rider securely in the chair to help prevent

falls while on a lift.

4. Avoid moving forward if a wheel is “hung up” on the lip of

the ramp. Backup, reposition the caster for a more direct

approach. And slowly try again.

W. CURBS & SINGLE STEPS

WARNING

1. Your chair is not designed to drive up or down a curb or step

more than two (2) inches high. Doing so may:

• Result in a fall or tip-over.

• Damage the frame, wheels, axles or other chair parts, or

loosen fasteners.

2. To prevent a fall or tip-over, use wheelchair access ramps or

have someone help you.

3. If you must climb or descend a curb or step alone do so at

your own risk and use extreme care.

• Go as straight up or straight down as you can. Never turn

or climb or descend at an angle as a fall or tip-over is likely.

• Proceed slowly, at a steady speed.

4. Make sure that persons who assist you review the “Tips For

Attendants” and heed all warnings.

X.STAIRS

WARNING

Never use this chair to go up or down stairs, even with

an attendant. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.

Y. ESCALATORS

WARNING

Never take this chair on an escalator, even with an

attendant. Doing so is likely to cause a fall or tip-over.

T. TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A FALL, TIP-

OVER OR LOSS OF CONTROL:

WARNING

1. Never use your chair on a slope unless you are sure you can

do so without losing traction.

. Always go as straight up and as straight down as you can.

• Do not “cut the corner” on a slope or ramp.

• Do not turn or change direction on a slope.

3. Always stay in the center of the ramp. Make sure ramp is

wide enough that you are not at risk that a wheel may roll off

the side.

4. Lean or press your body uphill.

This will help adjust for a

change in the center of balance

caused by the slope. (Fig. 1)

5. Keep your chair moving at a

slow, steady speed. Keep con-

trol over the chair at all times.

• On a descent, do not let

your chair accelerate

beyond its normal speed.

• If the chair picks up speed,

center the joystick to slow

down or stop.

NOTE– The solid state controller of your chair has a logic system that will

help control your speed when driving on a slope or uphill.

• If you stop, re-start slowly.

6. Never use rear wheel locks to try to slow or stop your chair.

This is likely to cause the chair to veer out of control.

U. RAMPS AT HOME & WORK

WARNING

Make sure ramps meet all Building Codes for your area.

For your safety, have a licensed contractor build or remodel ramp

to meet all standards.

NOTE– The proper design will vary, depending on such things as: the length

and height of the ramp; the need for an intermediate platform;

landing size; doors, and the direction of swing, and; whether the

ramp includes a turn or angle.

At A Minimum:

1. Open sides of ramp must have side rails to prevent your

chair from going over the edge.

2. Slope must not be steeper than one inch in height for every

one foot of slope length.

3. Ramp surface must be even, and have a non-skid surface.

4. You may need to add a section at the top or bottom to avoid

a lip or drop-off.

5. Ramp must be sturdy. Add bracing if needed, so ramp does

not “bow” when you ride on it.
