WARNING

Wheelchair Tie Down Restraints

Invacare recommends that wheelchair users not be transported in vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.

It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any wheelchair transportation systems.

Stability Warning

The position of the footrest, camber tube (COG - Center of Gravity), seat angle, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well as the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchairs stability. Any change to one or any combination of the six may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position. The addition of anti-tippers may be required.
