WARNING (CONTINUED)
DO NOT TRAVERSE, CLIMB or GO DOWN ramps or slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil
film.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
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 wheel-
chair.
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 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 wheel-
chair, ALWAYS ENGAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS.
DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by
Invacare.
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable)
parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair
may result in injury to the user and/or assistant or damage to the wheelchair.
9000 XT RECLINER ONLY - DO NOT use the spreader bar to lift the
wheelchair. Refer to STORING/REPLACING THE SPREADER BAR in
SECTION 9 of this manual.
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 9000 XT (models with offset axle
option ONLY), 9000XDT or 9000XT RECLINER wheelchairs.
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.
