STABILITY WARNINGS

Check to make sure that rubber tips and/or plastic glide tips are not ripped, worn or missing. Replace them BEFORE using the walker.

DO NOT use rubber tips on front leg extensions when using rear wheel/brake options.

When using rear leg extension with rubber tips or glide tips, all four legs MUST be placed on the floor for stability/support. Do not use only the two (2) rear legs for stability/support.

Glide tips are not recommended for use on rough surfaces including surfaces that may be experienced outdoors.

Glide tips are used on rear leg extensions ONLY to allow the walker to roll easily over indoor carpeted areas without the need to lift the walker off the ground.

Glide tips on rear leg extensions should only be used with front wheel attachments. Glide tips are NOT recommended for use on all four (4) leg extensions at once. DO NOT use glide tips and rubber tips at the same time.

Glide tips do not grip the floor the way rubber tips grip flooring, therefore, extra caution should be observed when in use.

When using glide tips on a walker, short steps should be taken to assure that weight is distributed evenly and directly over walker legs. These precautions will prevent uncontrollable movement of the walker.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

Ensure all snap buttons fully protrude through adjustment holes of each leg extension. This ensures that the leg extensions are securely locked in position.

The leg extensions should be adjusted so the walker is level. If an even height cannot be achieved, adjust the leg extensions so that the rear of the walker is no more than one (1) inch lower than the front.

Swivel casters should be periodically checked for tightness and/or damage. If loose, tighten securely. If damaged, replace immediately.

After installation, ensure that the walker and accessories are properly and securely locked in place and hardware tightened securely BEFORE using.

Wheel Accessories are ONLY to be used on the front walker legs with exception of Model Nos. 6264 - 10-inch Rear Wheel Brakes and 6265 - 13-inch Rear Wheel Brakes.

The Invacare 6264, 6274, 6266, 6265, and 6263 are a series of advanced pressure relief cushions designed for individuals who require enhanced comfort and support in their seating arrangements. These cushions are particularly beneficial for those at risk of developing pressure ulcers or experiencing discomfort due to prolonged periods of sitting.

The primary feature of these Invacare models is their ergonomic design, which promotes optimal positioning and weight distribution. This helps to minimize pressure points, reducing the risk of skin breakdown. Incorporating a unique multi-layer construction, these cushions consist of different materials that work in synergy to deliver superior pressure relief. The top layer often features a soft, breathable fabric that enhances comfort while allowing for air circulation, keeping the user cool and dry.

Another notable characteristic of the Invacare cushions is their use of specialized foam technology. The innovative foam formulations adjust to the body’s contours, providing personalized support that caters to individual user needs. Some models come with additional gel or air-filled components that further enhance pressure relief by conforming to the user’s shape and reducing shear forces.

Stability is essential in any seating solution, and the Invacare cushions are no exception. Each model incorporates a stable base that provides robust support during transfers and movement. This stability is complemented by non-slip bottom surfaces, ensuring that the cushion remains securely in place during use.

Furthermore, the Invacare series places a strong emphasis on ease of care. The removable, washable covers make maintenance straightforward, allowing caregivers and users to keep the cushions clean and hygienic. Additionally, many of these models are available in various sizes to accommodate different seating environments, from wheelchairs to standard chairs.

Whether used in home care, long-term facilities, or hospitals, the Invacare 6264, 6274, 6266, 6265, and 6263 cushions stand out for their commitment to user comfort and safety. With a combination of advanced design, innovative materials, and practical features, they offer effective solutions for pressure management while enhancing overall user quality of life.
