SECTION 3—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

WARNING

DO NOT let the wheelchair drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to the occupant.

Roll the wheelchair forward and SLOWLY lower the wheelchair in one continuous movement. Push the wheelchair forward until the rear wheels roll up and over the curb.

WARNING

Make sure anti-tipper wheels are pointing down towards the ground/floor before using the wheelchair.

Turn the anti-tipper wheels down towards the ground/floor.

Lifting/Stairways

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to move an occupied power wheelchair between floors using a stairway. Use an elevator to move an occupied power wheelchair between floors. If moving a power wheelchair between floors by means of a stairway, the occupant MUST be removed and transported independently of the power wheelchair.

Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an unoccupied power wheelchair up or down the stairs. Invacare recommends using two (2) assistants and making thorough preparations.

Use ONLY secure, nondetachable parts for hand-hold supports.

It is strongly recommended to lift the wheelchair only by the rear frame and the front forks - otherwise injury or damage may occur.

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

The weight of the wheelchair without the user and batteries is between 80 and 127 lbs.

Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair between floors when an elevator is NOT available or lifting the wheelchair is necessary:

NOTE: When using a stairway to move the wheelchair, seat and any accessories, move all wheelchair components away from the stairway prior to reassembly.

1.Remove the occupant from the wheelchair.

2.Remove the battery boxes from the wheelchair. Refer to Removing/Installing the Battery Boxes on page 50.

3.If necessary, fold the wheelchair. Refer to Transporting the P9000 XDT on page 66.

4.Bend your knees and keep your back straight.
