CHOOSE THE RIGHT CHAIR & SAFETY OPTIONS

Quickie provides a choice of many wheelchair styles to meet the needs of the

wheelchair rider. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair, options

and adjustments rests solely with you and your health care advisor. Choosing

the best chair and set-up for your safety depends on such things as:

1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination.

2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where you

live and work, and other places you are likely to use your chair).

3. The need for options for your safety and comfort (such as anti-tip

tubes, positioning belts or special seating systems).

B. REVIEW THIS MANUAL OFTEN

Before using this chair you, and each person who may assist you, should

read this entire manual and make sure to follow all instructions. Review the

warnings often, until they are second nature to you.

E. SAFETY CHECKLIST

WARNING

Before Each Use Of Your Chair:

1. Make sure the chair rolls easily and that all parts work smoothly.

Check for noise, vibration, or a change in ease of use. (They may

indicate low tire pressure, loose fasteners, or damage to your chair).

2. Repair any problem. Your authorized Quickie supplier can help you

find and correct the problem.

3. Check to see that both quick-release rear axles are locked. When

locked, the axle button will “pop out” fully

. If not locked, the wheel

may come off and cause you to fall.
