Safety/Handling of Wheelchairs

REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION
Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by individuals certified by Invacare. The final
tuning adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair. Damage to the equip-
ment could occur under these circumstances. If non-certified individuals perform any work on these
units, the warranty is voided.
OPERATING INFORMATION
GENERAL WARNINGS
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully
conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver,
bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding property.
After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to the specifica-
tions entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT perform to specifications, turn the
wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheel-
chair performs to specifications.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may
tip over.
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 9o.
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 use unauthorized parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare.
DO NOT leave the power button ON 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.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap.
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 recom-
mended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.
