Tracer® SX5 14 Part No. 1110550
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable)
parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair
may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.
Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when an
assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or
deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to
move the wheelchair by pulling on the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure
or have deteriorated.
Also, be aware of detachable parts such as armrests or legrests. These must NEVER be used
to move the wheelchair or as lifting supports, as they may be inadvertently released, result-
ing in possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s).
When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced assistant help you before
attempting it alone.
PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat
or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
The seat depth, size/position of the front casters, size/position of the rear
wheels, use of an anti-tipper model, as well as the user condition directly
relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any com-
bination of the seven (7) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
Many activities require the wheelchair
owner to reach, bend and transfer in and
out of the wheelchair. These movements will
cause a change to the normal balance, the
center of gravity, and the weight distribution
of the wheelchair. To determine and estab-
lish your particular safety limits, practice
bending, reaching and transferring activities
in several combinations in the presence of a
qualified healthcare professional BEFORE
attempting active use of the wheelchair.
Proper positioning is essential for your
safety. When reaching, leaning, or bending forward, it is important to use the front casters as
a tool to maintain stability and balance.
