Braun 34443 Manual De Usuario

Wheelchair passengers and attendants (when ap-
plicable), must use basic common sense and good 
judgment regarding ramp safety.  Each wheelchair 
passenger has a unique set of physical abilities, 
combined with the physical characteristics of his or 
her wheelchair, that dictate the method in which he or 
she will enter and exit the Entervan.  Consequently, 
the procedures for safe operation outlined in this 
manual are general in nature.  Wheelchair attendants 
should be instructed on any special needs and/or 
procedures required for safe transport of wheelchair 
passengers.  

Follow all safety instructions regarding torso re-
straints, stability, balance, weight distribution and 
use of attendants as specified in the owner’s manual 
supplied with your wheelchair.  Determine, establish 
and practice ramp boarding and exiting procedures 
under the direction of your health care professional, 
your wheelchair representative, and your Entervan 
sales representative to ensure your ability to do so 
safely.

Never board an Entervan ramp if you or your at-
tendant are intoxicated.  The wheelchair should be 
positioned in the center of the ramp at all times.  You 
must be able to clearly view the ramp whenever 
boarding and exiting the vehicle.  The wheelchair 
passenger and/or attendant must ensure the ramp is 
fully deployed before exiting the vehicle.
