VII. WARNINGS: FOR SAFE USE (ATTENDANTS)
Before you assist a rider, be sure to read the warnings "For Attendants" in
Section V, Part K and follow all instructions that apply. Be aware that you will
need to learn safe methods best suited to your abilities.
A. TILT USE
In preparation to operate the tilt:
• Always verify that the arms of the rider are stable on the armrests or within the arm-
rests.
• Always verify that the legs of the rider are stable on the footrest/legrest.
• Never place hands, feet or foreign objects into the tilt mechanism.
• Never push or propel the chair with the seat tilted in a forward position.
• Never add chair accessories that are not specifically designed for Zippie IRIS.
• Never exceed a tilted position that aligns the backrest parallel to the ground.
B. DESCENDING A CURB OR SINGLE STEP
Follow these steps to help a rider descend a curb or single step going
BACKWARD:
1. Stay at the rear of the chair.
2. Several feet before your reach the edge of the curb or step, turn the chair around
and pull it backward.
3. While looking over your shoulder, carefully step back until you are off the curb or
stair and standing on the lower level.
4. Pull the chair toward you until the rear wheels reach the edge of the curb or step.
Then allow the rear wheels to slowly roll down onto the lower level.
5. When the rear wheels are safely on the lower level, tilt the chair back to its balance
point. This will lift the front casters off the curb or step.
6. Keep the chair in balance and take small steps backward. Turn the chair around and
gently lower front casters to the ground.
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.
C. CLIMBING A CURB OR SINGLE STEP
Follow these steps to help the rider climb a curb or single step going FORWARD:
1. Stay behind the chair.
2. Face the curb and tilt the chair up on the rear wheels so that the front casters clear
the curb or step.
3. Move forward, placing the front casters on the upper level as soon as you are sure
they are past the edge.
4. Continue forward until the rear wheels contact the face of the curb or step. Lift and
roll the rear wheels to the upper level.
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.
D. CLIMBING STAIRS
1. Use at least two attendants to move a chair and rider up stairs.
2. Move the chair and rider BACKWARD up the stairs.
3. The person at the rear is in control. He or she tilts the chair back to its
balance point.
4. A second attendant at the front should firmly grasp the hanger receiver or frontmost
part of the seat rail and lift the chair up and over one stair at a time.
