Invacare PHWH93 manual General Guidelines

Page 9

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.

ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.

DO NOT store items under seat ‐ interference with seat latch may result.

DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release levers until the power is in the Off position.

DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.

DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.

NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.

Invacare strongly recommends proceeding down ramps or slopes at half speed or slower and to avoid hard braking or sudden stops.

DO NOT leave elevating legrests in the fully extended position when proceeding down ramps or slopes.

DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.

DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair.

DO NOT leave the power button in the On position when entering or exiting your wheelchair.

DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.

DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.

DO NOT stand on the footplates/footboard. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footboard or footplates are in the upward position or swing the footrests towards the outside of the wheelchair.

Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the power is Off and wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving.

When determining the depth of the telescoping front frame tubes, make sure the rear of the footrests do not interfere with the movement of the front casters. Otherwise damage to the wheelchair may result or may impede proper operation.
