cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth operation of your wheelchair. To operate properly
and safely, your wheelchair must be cared for just like any other vehicle. Routine maintenance will extend the life and
efficiency of your wheelchair.
WARNING
*Wheel locks are an OPTION on this wheelchair, (you may order with or without wheel locks). Transfer to
and from the wheelchair in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional to determine indi-
vidual safety limits. Invacare strongly recommends ordering the wheel locks as an additional safe-
guard for the Action wheelchair user.
