SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.

DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.

DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the chair.

DO NOT leave the power button in the On position when entering or exiting your wheelchair.

DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.

DO NOT stand on the flip-up footboard, otherwise damage may occur. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the flip-up footboard is in the upward position.

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt MUST be replaced

IMMEDIATELY.

Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off switch on the joystick is in the Off position.

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

ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.

NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.

DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.

Make sure the detent balls of the quick-release pin are fully released beyond the outer edge of the tube before operating the wheelchair. Otherwise, injury and/or damage may result.

Keep detent balls clean.

Tire Pressure

DO NOT release wheelchair from service unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these recommendations may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.

Batteries

The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power source for this unit.
