2. It is strictly prohibited to get on or off the wheelchair without braking the standing brake.

4. Pay attention to safety. When entering or exiting a door or encountering obstacles, do not hit the door or obstacles with your wheelchair (especially the elderly, most of whom have osteoporosis and are easily injured).

5. When pushing the wheelchair, instruct the patient to hold the armrests of the wheelchair and sit as far back as possible. Do not lean forward or get off the wheelchair by yourself; to avoid falling, add restraints if necessary.

The person pushing the wheelchair Be careful, and pull back if necessary (because the rear wheel is larger, it has a stronger ability to overcome obstacles).
