OPERATING INFORMATION
WARNING
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied.
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.
ALWAYS wear your Seat Positioning Strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT POSITIONING 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.
ALWAYS verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure prior to use when an assistant is used to propel the chair.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless the wheelchair is fully open.
DO NOT TRAVERSE, CLIMB or GO DOWN ramps or slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.
DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to tip over and cause bodily harm to you or damage to the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.
WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks.
DO NOT tilt the wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.
