| Avoid placing extension cords
across walkways. |
| Do not use throw rugs in the
home. |
| Use ramps with caution. |
| Engage the wheel brakes (locks)
to prevent the wheelchair from
rolling. |
| The wheel brakes may be adjusted
for minimal tire wear. |
| Use easy side access release
to swingaway the foot rest or
elevating leg rest. |
| Foot rest or elevating leg
rest may be removable on many
models. |
| The wheelchair arm may be
removed on some models. |
| Depress the button on the
front lower area of the arm
frame and lift. |
| Removing the arm piece will
help you transfer from the wheelchair
to the bed or bed to wheelchair. |
| Fold up the wheelchair for
easy transfer into a vehicle.
Stand on the side of the wheelchair
and grasp the seat with both
hands, pulling up. |
| Foot rest or elevating leg
rest may be removed to lighten
the weight of the chair for
loading. |

with mild detergent and warm
water. Dry thoroughly |

to have Health-E-Quip check
the wheel bearings and spoke
adjustments periodically. This
prevents abnormal wear on the
wheelchair. |
