down/up a kerb.

l Don't forget to inform user about about what you intend to do.

l The chair must be lined up at 90° to the kerb.

l It is safer to go down a kerb backwards. It requires less strength and gives a gentler ride.

l Slowly roll the rear wheels down from the kerb so that both wheels touch the road at the same time.

l When the occupant's feet are clear of the kerb, gently lower the front to the road.

l When the front casters are just clear of the kerb, push the wheelchair forwards until the casters rest on the pavement.

l Do not tip the wheelchair back more than necessary.

It is always best to avoid kerbs. If a kerb is unavoidable then the above shared precautions should be taken for a safe journey.

l Reduce speed whenever you need to change the direction.

l� The wheel chair’s maximum weight capacity is 150 kg. Don't put weight more than its capacity.

l� Adjust the wheelchair including footrest and armrest properly before getting in or up from the chair.

l� Ensure that the brake is locked when getting on/off the wheelchair. Refer to the Pic below on how to use the brake.

12 13

l�Avoid forcing your chair down or up staircases, slopes and inclines.

l�The wheelchair is designed to operate on a pathway which is clear of all obstacles. So, don't force your way through stairways, rough terrain, sloppy pathways, and other rough surfaces.

l�To move up a step, the care giver who is pushing the wheelchair must step on the tipping bar and push downwards at the handle, such that the front wheel castors are raised onto the step. Next, pull upwards at the handles to bring up the rear wheels. Do not try to push over the steps by force.

l�To move up or down a steep slope, ensure that a care giver is around to support the wheelchair; otherwise, the chair may overturn. For a steep downward slope. The wheelchair should be turned to face up slope, and the care giver should back the chair downwards gradually.

l�Never turn wheelchair while going downhill, as it could �p over.

l� When turning at a sharp corner, reduce speed to avoid �pping over.

l Do not place the wheel chair near any sources of �re, or else the backrest may be set on �re, resulting in injuries.

habit to engage brakes.

8. GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF WHEELCHAIR

A regular maintenance is important to maximize durability of the wheelchair. It also ensures the proper functionality of the chair for a long time.

Cleaning

To maintain Dr Trust Wheelchair appearance and a prolonged life lspan, it should be cleaned properly. Greasy or fatty substances can reduce the service life of the chair so, it is important to clean it properly on a regular basis. Moreover the fabric used on the chair is easy to clean. Add a small amount of washing power in warm water and apply it on the fabric with a cloth. Rinse off it with clean water and leave it to dry. Antiseptic solutions can also be applied to the fabric.

Removing Stains

Although the wheelchair is resistant to most of mild chemicals and household stains but if something is absorbed by it that may cause a permanent stain, can be ex�nguished by cleaning it with a soapy sponge.

CAUTIONS

Do not use harsh chemicals such as bleaching powder, wax polish, abrasive cleaner etc as the use of any of these material could harm PVC laminates and subsequently lead to cracks on the surface of chair.

l�While transferring, do not step on or stand on the footplates as it may cause personal injury or damage to your wheelchair.

l�Don't forget to engage wheel locks before transferring either using an elevator or a wheelchair lift.

l�For safe transfer always stop the wheelchair on a stable and level surface and engage wheel locks.

l�Avoid placing heavy items on the back of the wheelchair as this can cause the wheelchair to tip backwards during transferring.

l�You can attach �ashy items on your wheelchair when you go out at night so that people can easily see you in dark streets or other places.

9. WHEELCHAIR TROUBLESHOOTING

l It is a folding frame wheelchair, so the folding mechanism should be checked regularly for easiness of use. If you find any stiffness, apply small amount of silicon spray to alleviate it.

l If folding the wheelchair becomes difficult, the frame may be bent and you will need to check it.

l If the chair is veering to one direction, it means there is some issue in its parts alignment, these parts need to be adjusted straightaway for making seating comfortable.

l If you diagnose toe-in or toe-out issue (difference in the distance between the both front and back wheels' levels of the axles), adjustments need to be done. Usually this can be achieved by using washers to space the axle block, either at the front or the back, whichever is appropriate. Sometimes, adjustment of toe-in or toe-out can be done by rotating of the axle bar.

l If the wheels do not spin well, there could be the bearings problem. It may be loose or worn and you need to review all wheels on weekly basis.

Below are some general guidelines for wheelchair troubleshooting.

16 17

l�Users should not attempt major repairs or modi�cations.

l�Approved Distributors have full Service Information and are able to advise if the chair becomes damaged, requiring major part replacement, or re�tting.

l�If you have any doubt about service requirements, contact to the Customer Support Department of Dr Trust. l�Frequency of distributor service maintenance depends on usage level.

CAUTIONS

l If you �nd excessive sideways movement of the wheels, it could be because of loosening of the nuts holding the axle. They should be checked and tightened properly if required.

l If there is excessive grinding noise and sideways movement, it may be because of worn bearing. You need to replace this part with the help of a quali�ed professional.

l Check and tight the nuts on the stem bolt or caster fork to restrict the free movement of the caster.

l If it is harder to push and turn the wheelchair, check its tyres' pressure. Always keep them in�ated to maintain the standard pressure level as over in�ated tyre can also cause a problem.

l Replace worn tyre immediately as it may result in poor traction and also affect the efficiency of brakes.

l Eradicate malfunctions related to brakes and all other safety features by your own or with the help of a professional.

l�We recommend that chairs are checked by the distributor at assessed intervals, according to the level of use and usage environment.

l�Warranty can be affected if a wheelchair is not adequately maintained.

l�Users should note that wheelchairs retain appearance if looked after and cleaned regularly.
