SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Part No 1100868 15 9000 Jymni™Pediatric Series
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 shift your weight or sitting position toward direction you are reaching as the
wheelchair may tip over.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not
brakes.
DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may
occur.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be
taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are
transferring onto. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS engage both
wheel locks.
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.
Jymni Recliner Only - DO NOT use the spreader bar to lift the wheelchair. Refer to
Storing/Replacing the Spreader Bar on page 59.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make
sure that the footplates are in the upward position.
NEVER use quick-release axles on the Jymni Recliner.
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.
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.
Replacement of a pneumatic tire or tube MUST be performed by a qualified technician.

Invacare wheelchairs have not been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight
training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight training apparatus, Invacare shall
not be liable for bodily injury or damage to the wheelchair and the warranty is void.
