SEAT SLINGS

– Seat slings are not intended to be used as a seating surface.
Always use a cushion.
– Ensure that the sling is in good condition (e.g. no fraying,
no wear and no tears).

7.10 PUSH HANDLES

Push handles are optional equipment on some Motion Composites
wheelchairs. Push handles provide secure points for an attendant
or assistant to hold the rear of the wheelchair to prevent a fall or
tip-over. If you have an attendant or assistant, you should have
push handles installed on your wheelchair by Motion Composites or
a certified Motion Composites dealer.
– Motion Composites offers push handles that are integrated to
the back canes or bolt-on push handles. Motion Composites rec-
ommends that you do NOT use non-Motion Composites bolt-on
push handles because they could damage the backrest or the
back canes of the Motion Composites wheelchair.
– Your attendant or assistant should regularly check the push
handle grips to make sure they fit securely and will not rotate
or slip off.
– Push handles should NEVER be used to lift the wheelchair
or pull the chair, especially when it is occupied, as they may
detach.
– ALWAYS lift or pull the wheelchair by grasping a non-detach-
able part of the frame (not the detachable handles, backrest,
armrest or footrest).
– If you fail to observe these warnings damage to the chair, a fall,
tip-over or loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to
the wheelchair user, the assistant or others people.
