Invacare 1026793 Mobility Aid User Manual


 
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Xtra™ 14 Part No 1026793
Do not sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat rails are fully
seated into the seat clamps.
Wheel locks are NOT brakes. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the
wheel locks.
DO NOT attempt to lift a 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.
NEVER try to lift or tip the wheelchair by cantilever arms or T-arms, serious injury can
occur.
DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the
frame tubing.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
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.
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.
ALWAYS verify that hand grips on the rear canes are secure PRIOR to use when an
assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or
deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to move the
wheelchair by pulling on the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure or have
deteriorated.
ALWAYS use the handrims for self-propulsion. Inasmuch as the handrims are an option
on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the handrims), Invacare strongly
recommends ordering the handrims as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
