SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Before using your power chair, read and understand the following safety precautions:-*

•Keep your powered wheelchair in good working order. As with all electro-mechanical vehicles, it will benefit from regular service inspections at the recommended intervals.

•We recommend that at 6 monthly intervals to check electronic brake function, manual wheel - lock adjustment and the motor disengage operation.

•Always remember to use a safety belt when operating the wheelchair outdoors.

•Your powerchair is capable of negotiating slopes of up to 11 degrees (1 in 5 gradient), however, the recommended safe slope for the wheelchair is advised as 6 degrees (1 in 10 gradient). Also, see page 8 - recommended driving position, and section 3 - Negotiating Slopes / Gradients..

•Take special care in bad weather. Braking and tyre grip may be affected on wet or icy surfaces, take care on slopes and uneven surfaces.

Do not attempt to drive across slopes, which may make the vehicle unstable, increasing the possibility of an accident and possible personal injury.

•When climbing hills or slopes it is important to travel up in one motion. Starting a forward movement from stationary on a slope requires extra care to avoid tipping backwards. Start slowly and accelerate cautiously.

•When travelling down an incline, select a low speed, stop periodically if the wheelchair moves faster than anticipated. Push the joystick forward slowly to continue the descent. Do not lean forward.

•Avoid parking on the edge of rivers, ponds, lakes, sea, etc.

•Adjustments should only be carried out by your authorised INVACARE® dealer to ensure correct operation and safe use.

Representative models of Invacare powered wheelchairs are tested for use in a moving motor vehicle using recommended restraint systems. For further information contact your authorised

INVACARE dealer. It is the responsibility of the person or authority transporting the wheelchair with an occupant seated, to ensure the safety of the occupant and other passengers.
