SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Stability - Recliner Models Only

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

Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the 9000XT Recliner.

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

Lift Kit Models only ‐ Both spring lift mechanisms MUST be operational before using the recliner. DO NOT operate the recliner option if only one (1) of the spring lift mechanisms is operational.

Anti-Tippers

Anti‐tippers are specific to the different seat‐to‐floor angles and/or seat‐to‐floor heights. Refer to the charts in Installing/Adjusting Anti‐tippers on page 80 for correct usage and adjustment. If these requirements cannot be achieved, DO NOT use the wheelchair.

Contact a qualified technician. If changing the seat‐to‐floor height with or without a change to seat‐to‐floor angle, the correct anti‐tippers MUST be used to maintain a 1½ to 2‐inch ground clearance.

Seat‐to‐floor angle of 0° or 3°: If so equipped, anti‐tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti‐tippers are an option for 0° or 3° on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the anti‐tippers), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the anti‐tippers as a safeguard for the wheelchair user.

Seat‐to‐floor angle of 6°: If changing the seat‐to‐floor angle to 6°, anti‐tippers MUST be installed.

Operating Information

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.

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

When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders.

If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, ensure prior to use that the handgrips do not twist on the handle. Otherwise, damage or injury may occur.

Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result.
