SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

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

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 the ON/OFF switch on the joystick is in the off position.

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.

Avoid storage or use near external flame or combustible products.

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks/clutches until the power is in the OFF position.

DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.

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 use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position or swing footrests towards the outside of the chair.

Anti‐tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or gravel surfaces, anti‐tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tipover. Extra caution must be observed when traversing such surfaces.

Tire Pressure

DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.

Electrical Accessories

EXTREME care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in the use of oxygen.
