ENGLISH
Back use with these types of wheelchairs may cause the back to accidental-
ly disconnect from the wheelchair. This could result in a fall or potential
injury of the rider and/or caregiver.
L. POSITIONING BELTS (Optional)
Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the rider's posture. Improper
use of these belts may cause severe injury to or death to the rider.
1. Make sure the rider does not slide down in the wheelchair seat. If
this occurs, the rider may suffer chest compression or suffocate due
to pressure from the belts.
2. The belts must be snug, but must not be so tight that they interfere
with breathing. You should be able to slide your open hand, flat,
between the belt and the rider.
3. A pelvic wedge or a similar device can help keep the rider from slid-
ing down in the seat. Consult with the rider's doctor, nurse or
therapist to find out if the rider needs such a device.
4. Use positioning belts only with a rider who can cooperate. Make
sure the rider can easily remove the belts in an emergency.
5. NEVER Use Positioning Belts:
a. As a patient restraint. A restraint requires a doctor's order.
b. On a rider who is comatose or agitated.
c. As a motor vehicle restraint. In an accident or sudden stop the
rider may be thrown from the chair. Wheelchair seat belts will not
prevent this, and further injury may result from the belts or straps.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
M. CUSHIONS

1. cushions are designed for the relief of most, but not all
sitting pressure.
2. If you suffer from pressure sores or if you are at risk that they will
occur, you may need a special seat system or a device to control
your posture. Consult your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out if
you need such a device for your well-being.
3. Seat pans are not intended to be used as a direct seating surface. A
cushion or other seating surface should be placed on the seat pan
before use.
N. FASTENERS
Many of the screws, bolts and nuts on this chair are special high-strength
fasteners. Use of improper fasteners may cause your chair to fail.
1. ONLY use fasteners provided by an authorized supplier (or ones of
the same type and strength, as indicated by the markings on the
heads).
2. Over or under-tightened fasteners may fail or cause damage to chair
parts.
3. If bolts or screws become loose, tighten them as soon as you can.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
O. PINCH POINTS
When hinged or adjustable components are moved or adjusted, there is a
potential for a pinch point to exist. To avoid pinch points:
1. Use an open Palm to lock or fasten hardware and components.
2. Always be aware of pinch point areas and use caution.
