SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Ensure the pins of the extension cord plug are the same number, size, and shape as those on the charger.

DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the round grounding plug from the charger AC cable plug or the extension cord plug.

Three (3) prong to two (2) prong adapters should not be used. Use of three (3) prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock hazard to the user.

Rain Test

Invacare has tested its power wheelchairs in accordance with ISO 7176 Part 9 “Rain Test”. This provides the end user or his/her attendant sufficient time to remove his/her power wheelchair from a rain storm and retain wheelchair operation.

DO NOT leave power wheelchair in a rain storm of any kind.

DO NOT use power wheelchair in a shower or leave it in a damp bathroom while taking a shower.

DO NOT leave power wheelchair in a damp area for any length of time.

Direct exposure to rain or dampness will cause the chair to malfunction electrically and mechanically; may cause the chair to prematurely rust.

Check to ensure that the battery covers are secured in place, joystick boot is not torn or cracked where water can enter and that all electrical connections are secure at all times.

DO NOT use the joystick if the boot is torn or cracked. If the joystick boot becomes torn or cracked, replace immediately.

Weight Training

Invacare DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training apparatus. Invacare wheelchairs have not been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight training apparatus, Invacare shall not be liable for bodily injury, and the warranty is void.

Weight Limitation

The Nutron R50LX, R51 and R51LX have a weight limitation, including the seating system, of 250 lbs. The Nutron R51LXP has a weight limitation of 300 lbs. Refer to Percentage of Weight Distribution on page 21.

Invacare recommends that only heavy‐duty wheelchairs be used for individuals weighing more than 250 lbs. Further, the activity level of the individual wheelchair user is important. For instance, a 170 lbs active wheelchair user could subject the wheelchair to more stress than a 250 lbs user. Invacare recommends that very active users consider using heavy‐duty wheelchairs.
