SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.

DO NOT store items under seat - interference with seat latch may result.

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

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release levers 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.

NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.

DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.

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 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.

DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare - otherwise the warranty is void.

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

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.

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.

DO NOT stand on the front riggings, otherwise damage may occur. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates on the front riggings are in the upward position or moved out of the way.

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

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.

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.

The detent balls MUST be protruding past the top of the seat plate assembly for a positive lock.
