Engaging Tilt-In-Space

WARNING

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise, injury may result.

ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the tilt-in-space and/or recline option.

Make sure the occupant of the wheelchair is properly positioned in the wheelchair before using the tilt-in-space, reclining or inclining (reverse recline) to maintain maximum stability and safety. Refer to Safety/Handling of Wheelchairs on page 16.

The Orbit wheelchair MUST be operated by an Assistant when in any tilt or reclined position.

Always engage both wheel locks while using the tilt-in-space, reclining or inclining (reverse recline) the wheelchair.

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. 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.

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, seat positioning strap MUST be replaced immediately.

DO NOT use the release pedal of the tilt mechanism to gain leverage in tipping the wheelchair. The release pedal was not designed to be used in this manner and may cause injury to the assistant and/or user or damage to the wheelchair.

Both gas cylinders MUST be operational and adjusted properly before using recliner. DO NOT operate the recliner option if only one of the gas cylinders is operational or adjusted properly.

Pinch Points exist between spreader bar and gas cylinders. Use caution, otherwise injury may occur.

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