RECLINER OPERATION (FIGURE 1)
WARNING
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable BEFORE using the recliner option.
ALWAYS wear your Seat Positioning Strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT PO- SITIONING 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.
Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the 9000XT Recliner.
LIFT KIT MODELS ONLY - Both spring lift mechanisms MUST be opera- tional BEFORE using the recliner. DO NOT operate the recliner option if only one (1) of the spring lift mechanisms is operational.
TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS/ASSISTANTS:
Make sure occupant's hands and body are clear of all pinch points before reclining back. Pinch Points exist between spreader bar and reliner mechanism. Use caution, otherwise injury may occur.
When returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright posi- tion, 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 if necessary to avoid injury.
