(TR39-ESV)

The TR39-ESV steel travel chair range is intended to assist the transport of

users with mobility diculties. These wheelchairs are designed for occasional

or frequent use, and can be used indoors and outdoors, but should not be used

on rough terrain. Over-loading the wheelchair is the only known

contraindication, although others may be speciﬁc to an individual or care

environment.

The wheelchair can be manually moved forward and in reverse. The

wheelchairs are transit models, to be operated by the wheelchair attendants

while the occupant is seated. The wheelchairs can support users of up to 115 kg

(18 stone).

These instructions should be read carefully before using the wheelchair. This

product does not have a service manual. The only parts for user assembly are

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

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

Once the seat is secure and the footrests are attached, the wheelchair is ready

for use.

symbolspreparing for use

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

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 this value marked on your

device can damage the product and put users at risk of harm.

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.

Using Parking Brakes

Push the handle on the brake unit until locked in

place. To release the brake, push the handle in the

opposite direction. The brakes should always be

applied when the wheelchair is stationary.

Note: The brake may be visually dierent from shown.

Fitting and Altering the Footrests

To ﬁt the footrests, place them on the two receiver

posts on the frame. Swing inwards until they lock in

position. To remove, press the chrome lever whilst swinging the footrest out.

It is important to attain the correct leg position for optimum comfort.

To adjust the footrest height, turn the bolt at the

bottom clockwise using a

spanner (1). Adjust the

footplate to lengthen or

shorten (2), then turn

anticlockwise to tighten (3).

Note: Always ensure the bolt

is suciently tightened after

adjustment.

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. Overloading can cause harm to the occupant.

• 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 or reach further

than their 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. Consult a

healthcare professional before using 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 always engage parking

brakes during transfer and fold away footrests. If required, 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: Following the safety advice above, attendants should push

from behind using the handgrips. To slow down, apply reverse pressure to the

push handles.

When stationary, the brakes should always be applied.

using a wheelchair belt

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

However, belts are not necessary parts of this device. 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.

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. The attendant uses the stepper tube to

raise the front castors, and lower the front castors on the raised kerb. Then

push the wheelchair forward, lifting it up slightly to mount the kerb if required.

To go down, align the front castors with the kerb edge. Using the tube to keep

the castors raised, tip the user slightly back and slowly lower the wheelchair.

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.

Common misuse

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

damage the wheelchair.

folding and storage

PADDLE

Folding

the

backrest

Common misuse

The paddle is intended to be pushed. Do not pull

the paddle to fold the backrest.

To fold the backrest, push the black paddle

towards the back post with your thumb (1) whilst

pulling the handle down (2). Repeat this operation

for the other handle. To secure the backrest, lift

both handles together until the folding mechanism

locks automatically.

Do not push down on the handles to raise the wheels, as

this could damage the wheelchair. See steep terrain, kerbs

and steps to mount obstacles using the stepper tube.

This wheelchair is easily foldable to minimise storage space. Once the

footrests have been either folded and swung outwards, or removed (see

footrest adjustment), fold the wheelchair by pulling upwards on the centre

edges of the seat sling. Store with the parking brakes on, in a dry

environment, away from direct sunlight.

Note: The wheelchair may be folded and stored in a motor vehicle.
