WARNING
Check all Allen screws that secure the footrest/raised footrest system to the wheelchair frame before using the wheelchair,
especially if engaging in any contact sport.
Anti-tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces, anti-tippers may not provide
the same level of protection against tip over. Extra caution MUST be observed when traversing such surfaces. Inasmuch as the
anti-tippers are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the anti-tippers), Invacare strongly recommends
ordering the anti-tippers as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Engaging the wheel locks may not prevent the wheelchair from moving on all floor surfaces including those that may be wet or slick.
ALWAYS exercise caution when transferring into or out of the wheelchair.
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.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform when getting in or out of the wheelchair.
Seat Positioning Straps
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 strap 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, strap MUST be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
With regards to seat/chest positioning straps - it is the obligation of the DME dealer, therapists and other healthcare professionals
to determine if a seat/chest positioning strap is required to ensure the safe operation of this equipment by the user. Serious injury
can occur in the event of a fall from a wheelchair.
Tire Pressure and Information
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 on the sidewall of the tire.
Replacement of the tire or tube MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
