More On Traveler HD Wheelchair

Handling Tips:

• Traveler HD has been designed and engineered to perform as a stable and well balanced unit when used for its intended purpose. However, it is possible to tip the Traveler HD over if it is used improperly. We urge you to learn the characteristics of your wheelchair. It is most important to learn safe methods to perform the daily activities basic to your lifestyle. Consult your medical professionals for assistance in developing the skills and proper techniques to perform all activities safely.

Balance:

• Proper balance is the key to maintaining the stability of your wheelchair. Reaching, bending, and transferring to or from a wheelchair will change the weight distribution and center of gravity of you and your wheelchair. When performing such activities, do so as instructed in the following paragraphs to avoid tipping the wheelchair

Transfer Activities:

• Warning:
  - Always ensure that the wheelchair is on a stable, level surface and engage wheel locks before transfer. 
  - Do not step on the footplates; this could cause the wheelchair to tip. Fold them up, and either detach them or swing them aside. 
  - There is a critical moment when there is little or no seat platform beneath you. Take every precaution to reduce this unsupported distance before you attempt the transfer.

Transferring into or out of a wheelchair is a very difficult maneuver. Exercise extreme care when transferring without the aid of either an attendant or a patient lift. Consult your physician, nurse, or physical therapist for assistance in developing your individual technique. Make sure that the wheelchair is stabilized, and will not move or slide during the transfer. Take extra precaution to prevent tipping. Use good body mechanics to prevent personal injury.
