symbolspreparing for use

These instructions should be read carefully before using the wheelchair.

This product is not for user assembly and does not have a service manual.

The only parts to be ﬁtted and adjusted are the footrests.

A risk assessment must also be performed to assess suitability of the device

for the user. This assessment should include, but not be limited to:

• Small adults (and children)

• Users (and attendants) who lack capacity

• Very active occupants

• Unauthorised access to the wheelchair

Independent users and attendants are responsible for determining that they

are both mentally and physically capable of using the wheelchair with

minimal risk of harm.

Maximum occupant mass

Exceeding the maximum occupant mass marked on your device can damage

the product and put users at risk of harm.

Remove all packaging and stand the wheelchair on the ground. Separate the

arm rests to open the wheelchair, then push down ﬁrmly. Once the seat is

secure, the backrest is upright and the footrests are attached (see overleaf),

the wheelchair is ready for use.

Warning

This wheelchair must not be used as a seat in a motor vehicle.

Users should always transfer to the vehicle's seat and the

wheelchair should be safely stowed away.

footrest adjustment

To ﬁt the footrests, place the brackets onto the

pins either side of the wheelchair frame (1) and

rotate inwards (2) until they lock into place. Pull

the tabs inwards to release.

For optimum comfort it is important to attain

the correct leg position. The footrests have

been designed so they can be extended into

one of 5 ﬁxed lengths.

To change the height, unscrew the bolt on the

silver tubing with a 4mm hex key. Adjust the

footrest as required, then tighten to secure.

Attaching the footrest

Common misuse

Do not stand on the footrests. Overloading can damage the

product and cause harm to the occupant.

folding back mechanism

PADDLE

To fold the backrest, push the black paddle

towards the back post with your thumb (1)

whilst pulling the handle down (2) as shown

in the folding the backrest image. Repeat this

operation for the other handle.

To put the backrest back into position, lift

both handles together and the folding

mechanism will lock back automatically.

Do not push down on the handles to raise

the front of the wheelchair, as this could

result in damage to the wheelchair. To mount

kerbs and steps, reconnect the backrest and

use the stepper tube as described in the

steep terrain, kerbs and steps section.

Folding the

backrest

Common misuse

The paddle is intended to be pushed. Do not pull the paddle to

fold the backrest.

transfer and use

Before using the wheelchair, read the safety notices below;

• Do not exceed the 10º maximum gradient. Use slow speeds

and do not reverse down a gradient.

• Do not use on escalators.

• The wheelchair is only suitable for single occupancy.

• Keep your feet on the footrests when moving. Do not stand on

the footrests.

• Ensure that ﬁngers and objects do not get caught in the wheel

spokes or any other moving parts during use and assembly.

• Maintain proper balance at all times. Users should not move

their centre of gravity out of the seating area.

• Do not reach for items further than your arm’s length.

• Parking brakes should always be applied when transferring.

• Be aware of hazards in your environment, such as narrow

doorways, steps, household appliances, children’s toys, etc.

• A risk assessment must be performed by a competent person

to ensure the wheelchair is suitable for the user. We

recommend you consult a healthcare professional before using

any assistive medical devices.

• Keep away from heating and ignition sources which may raise

surface temperatures or cause a ﬁre.

Transfer: When transferring in and out of the seat, move the seats as

close as possible to each other. Attendants should engage parking brakes and

fold away footrests. If users need to be lifted out of a seat, attendants are

responsible for being suitably trained and competent to lift occupants with

minimal risk of harm. Good health and safety practice must always be used.

Propelling: The attendant should push from behind using the handgrips,

and following the safety advice above. Transit models can only be propelled by

an attendant. Self Propel models can also be propelled by wheelchair users,

pushing the handrims on the rear wheels. To slow down, apply pressure to the

handrims.

When stationary, the brakes should always be applied.

steep terrain, kerbs and steps

Steep terrain: These wheelchairs are not designed for use on gradients

beyond 10°. When on a slope, avoid swerving or sudden changes in movement.

Over kerbs: Attendants push down on the stepper tube with a foot to raise

the front castors (when mounting a kerb for example).

To mount, approach the kerb head-on. Then the attendant uses the stepper

tube to raise the front castors, and lowers the front castors on the raised kerb.

Finally the attendant should push the wheelchair forward, lifting it up slightly to

mount the kerb if required.

To go down, line up the front castors with the edge of the kerb. The attendant

uses the stepper tube to raise the front castors and tip the user slightly back.

Keeping the castors raised, slowly lower the wheelchair down the kerb.

Multiple steps: The wheelchair is not designed to mount staircases, so may

require carrying if no elevators or ramps are available. Attendants are

responsible for being suitably trained and competent to lift the wheelchair with

minimal risk of harm. Do not carry using the handles or any removable sections.

brake operation

Parking Brakes

To apply the parking brakes, push the handle on the brake unit until locked

in place. To release the brake, pull the handle in the opposite direction. The

brakes should always be applied when the wheelchair is stationary.

Cable Brakes

On the transit models, the attendant

pushing the wheelchair may use

cable-operated brakes to slow or park

the wheelchair.

To apply the brakes, squeeze the large

lever (A) on the push handles and the

brakes will be applied until the levers

are released. Ensure both levers are

pulled simultaneously to ensure the

wheelchair travels in a straight line.

Operating

the brakes

Transit only:

To lock, push the lock tab (B)

forward. Pull back to release.

Common misuse

Do not lean or push down on the push handles, as this can

damage the wheelchair.

using a wheelchair belt

Belts are often used to restrain wheelchair occupants during normal use.

However, belts are not provided as standard with these models. Any belts

used should be adjusted to suit each user. When fastened, they should be

tight without causing discomfort or undue pressure. Belts may not be suitable

for all users. Seek professional medical advice before using a wheelchair belt.

Lap belts

Lap belts are secured around the user’s pelvis to help keep their hips and

pelvis towards the back of the seat. If lap belts are attached to this product,

they must not be used as a substitute for a seatbelt in a motor vehicle.

Drive DeVilbiss Healthcare Ltd provide a compatible lap belt (RT-716, shown

below) for all wheelchairs in the LAWC range. The length of the belt can be

adjusted using the tri-glides (as shown in the diagram) and it has a large

luggage-style locking clip to fasten and unfasten the lap belt.

There is a risk of suocation from users ‘submarining’ (where they slide down

the chair until the lap belt is around the neck area). To reduce the risk of this,

ensure appropriate belts are ﬁtted, occupants are under supervision and the

belts are used in line with the manufacturer’s instructions for use.
