SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
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 overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt ONLY. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt MUST be replaced immediately.
ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power off and engage the motor locks/clutches to prevent the wheels from moving before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair. Also make sure every precaution is taken to reduce the gap distance. Align both casters parallel with the object you are transferring onto.

DO NOT use if joystick does not spring back to the neutral position or becomes sticky or sluggish.
DO NOT use if joystick boot is torn or damaged.
ALWAYS check foam grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose, contact a qualified technician for instructions.
ALWAYS engage both wheel locks and reduce the gap distance before transferring to and from the wheelchair. Turn all casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto.
Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result.

Electrical
Grounding Instructions
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three‐prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two‐prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two‐prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three‐prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use only a three‐wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addition, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE warning tags on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags.
