SPECIAL NOTES
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RE-
STRAINTS Invacare recommends that wheelchair
users NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind
while in wheelchairs. As of this date, the Depart-
ment of Transportation has not approved any tie-
down systems for transportation of a user while in
a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs
should be transferred into appropriate seating in
vehicles for transportation and use be made of
the restraints made available by the auto
industry. Invacare cannot and does not recom-
mend any wheelchair transportation systems.
AS REGARDS RESTRAINTS - SEAT POSITIONING
STRAPS - IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF THE DME DEALER,
THERAPISTS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSION-
ALS TO DETERMINE IF A SEAT POSITIONING STRAP IS
REQUIRED TO ENSURE THE SAFE OPERATION OF THIS
EQUIPMENT BY THE USER. SERIOUS INJURY CAN OC-
CUR IN THE EVENT OF A FALL FROM A WHEELCHAIR.
SAFETY SUMMARY
WARNING
DO NOT install this equipment without first read-
ing and understanding this instruction sheet. If you
are unable to understand the WARNINGS, CAU-
TIONS and INSTRUCTIONS, contact a health-care
professional , dealer or technical personnel be-
fore attempting to install this equipment - other-
wise, injury or damage may occur.
Ensure that the seat is fixed to the wheelchair. A
loose seat may lead to potentially dangerous
situations with positioning devices.
It is strongly recommended that the lap belt be
strapped across the hip area with an angle of
45
o
to the seating surface. Angles less than 45
o
make it easier for the user to slip under the belt if
it is improperly tightened.
