Safety Tips

Tips for Safe Wheelchair Use



# 1 Check the wheels regularly

  • Ensure the wheels aren’t loose or have flat tires, which may impact its braking ability. Don’t forget the spokes, as broken spokes can keep the chair from moving freely. In addition, keep the spokes clear of obstructions, such as lap blankets.


#2 Check the brakes before transferring the patient

  • This is one of the most common mistakes that happen out in the real world. You want to be sure that the brakes still lock tightly to prevent accidents. Regular wear and tear can make the brakes loose. Always lock brakes before transferring your senior in and out of chair!


#3 Keep the wheels well-oiled

  • Well lubricated wheels ensure that the wheelchair can be moved with minimal effort. We recommend oiling the wheels at least once a month to avoid rust.


#4 Don’t overload the chair

  • You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.


#5 Inspect the computerized propeller system

  • If the wheelchair is battery powered, inspect the system for safety and keep it out of the rain. Check the speed and reprogram it to a lower rate for safety if needed.


#6 Keep children away from them.

  • Don’t allow children to play on wheelchairs.


#7 Keep the chair clean

  • Frequent cleaning including chair seat, arms, and wheels, to prevent the spread of germs and prolong its life.


#8 Pay attention to the surface

  • Pay close attention to the surface on which your senior is riding to prevent tipping over due to cracks or holes in pavement or any change in grade, including carpeting.
