I now plaster my chair with warning and advice labels. I cannot use visual aids, but, for every travel, I print an A4 leaflet and put it in the back of my chair, saying what the weight is, how to lift it and where the warning signs are. Recently, last week, I did that in Armenian; before that, I did it in Greek; a month ago, I did it in Hungarian, when I was monitoring the election in Budapest. I have 15 more of these. For the two little red levers at the back for the freewheel mode, because they are crucially important, I attach little red labels on them—in all languages—to draw attention to them. The chair has two lifting handles: front and rear. I have painted them green, so I can attach labels saying “lifting handle” in various languages on them. Finally, so they do not rip the arms off, in multiple languages, I attach labels to the arms to warn them not to lift it by the arms. So far, that has actually worked, and my chair has not been wrecked since. But why do I have to go through that bureaucratic, time-consuming palaver just to stop my chair being wrecked? When it is wrecked, we need full replacement costs.
