II. SAFETY
Transfers
Transferring onto and off of your power chair requires a good sense of
balance. Always have an attendant or healthcare professional present
while learning to properly transfer yourself. To eliminate the possibility
of injury, Pride recommends that you or a trained attendant perform the
following tasks before attempting a transfer:
! Turn off the power to the controller. See VI. “Operation.”
! Ensure your power chair is not in freewheel mode. See III. “Your
Power Chair.”
! Turn both castor wheels toward the transfer destination to improve
power chair stability during transfer. See figure 3.
! Make sure both armrests are flipped up or removed from your power
chair.
! Move the foot rigging out of the way; this will help to keep your feet
from getting caught on the foot rigging during the transfer.
! Reduce the distance between your power chair and the object you
are transferring onto.
WARNING! Before transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the power chair seat
to prevent the power chair from tipping forward during transfer and causing injury.
WARNING! Avoid using your armrests for weight bearing purposes. Such use may cause the power
chair to tip and cause personal injury.
WARNING! Avoid putting all of your weight on the foot rigging. Such use may cause the power
chair to tip and cause personal injury.
Reaching and Bending
Never reach, lean or bend while driving your power chair. If it is absolutely necessary to reach, lean or bend while seated
on your power chair, it is important to maintain a stable centre of gravity and keep the power chair from tipping. Pride
recommends that the power chair user determine his/her personal limitations and practice bending and reaching in the
presence of a qualified healthcare professional.
WARNING! Do not bend, lean or reach for objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching
down between your knees. Movements such as these may change your centre of gravity and the weight
distribution of the power chair. This may cause your power chair to tip, possibly resulting in personal injury.
WARNING! Prevent personal injury! Keep your hands away from the tyres when driving. Be aware that loose
fitting clothing can become caught in drive tyres.
Batteries
In addition to following the warnings below, be sure to comply with all other battery handling information. For more
information about your power chairs batteries, see V. “Batteries and Charging.”
WARNING! Power chair batteries are heavy. See specifications table. If you are unable to lift that
much weight, be sure to get help. Lifting beyond your capacity can result in personal injury.
WARNING! Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds.
Wash hands after handling.
WARNING! Always protect the batteries from freezing and never charge a frozen battery. Charging
a frozen battery may result in personal injury and/or damage to the battery.
