STABILITY - RECLINER MODELS ONLY

WARNING

Before using ANY recline position of this wheelchair, make sure the rear wheels are in the MOST REARWARD position in the axle mounting plate to maintain the stability of the wheelchair. DO NOT change the handling/maneuverability of the wheelchair by moving the rear wheels to ANY of the forward positions. Moving the rear wheels to ANY of the forward positions WILL change the center of gravity of the wheelchair, making the wheelchair less stable.

ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable in the FULL RECLINED (back at 180°) position AND the FULL UPRIGHT (back at 90°) position BEFORE using the recliner option.

BEFORE using the recliner option, make sure the anti-tipper wheel assemblies are in the lowest adjustment hole (adjustment hole closest to the ground/floor).

ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (reverse recline) the wheelchair.

Both gas cylinders MUST be operational and adjusted properly BEFORE using the recliner. DO NOT operate the recliner option if only one (1) of the gas cylinders is operational or adjusted properly.

Make sure the occupant of the wheelchair is properly positioned in the wheelchair BE- FORE reclining or inclining (reverse recline) to maintain maximum stability and safety.

When returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position, more body strength will be required for approximately the last twenty (20) degrees of incline (reverse recline). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek assistance to avoid injury.

ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair.

OPERATING INFORMATION

GENERAL WARNINGS

Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied.

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BE- FORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.

ALWAYS wear your seat/chest positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT/CHEST POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (You may order with or without the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.

ALWAYS check foam grips for looseness BEFORE using the wheelchair. If loose, contact a qualified technician for instructions.

The necessary back angle (90°, 100°, 110° or 120°) MUST be selected BEFORE reposi- tioning the rear wheels forward.

DO NOT operate the tilt-in-space if the trigger release levers and cables are not properly adjusted to ensure that the tilt-in-space is locked in place when engaged.

DO NOT TRAVERSE, CLIMB or GO DOWN ramps or slopes GREATER than 9°. NEVER leave the occupied wheelchair unattended at any time, especially on an incline.
