SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Operation of recliner with missing or broken footrest or recline mechanism guards may result in bodily injury. Periodic inspection of the footrest guard and recline mechanism guard MUST be made four times a year. Torn, cracked or otherwise damaged guards MUST be replaced prior to use. Recliner MUST be removed from service until replacement guards are installed.

DO NOT lift the recliner by the footrest. Lifting by means of the footrest may result in injury to the user and/or damage to the recliner.

DO NOT attempt to stop the recliner with the wheel locks, while in motion. Wheel locks are not brakes.

Before attempting to transfer in or out of the recliner, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn the recliner toward the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the recliner, ALWAYS engage both wheel locks. Special care MUST BE taken with people that have physical limitations which may require an assistant.

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

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.

Weight Limitation

The weight limitation for Invacare Mobile Recliners is 250 lbs (113.6 kg). The weight limitation for model IH6065WD Wide Recliner is 400 lbs (181.44 kg).

The tray for models IH6074A, IH6065A, and IH6077A has a weight limitation of 40 lbs (18.2 kg).

Recline Option Operated by an Attendant

Test the recline feature of the recliner first without an occupant to ensure the gas cylinder is operational. DO NOT operate the recline option if the gas cylinder is not operational.

ALWAYS make sure that the recliner is stable before using the recline option.

Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the recliner before reclining or inclining to maintain maximum stability and safety.

When returning the occupant of the recliner to the full upright position, more body strength will be required for approximately the last twenty degrees of incline (sitting up). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek assistance to avoid injury.

Physical limitations of a user and larger occupants of the recliner can present conditions that can injure the assistant. When in doubt, assure that additional assistants are present before operating the recline feature.
