SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Part No 1122134 15 Compass™SPT™
To maintain the stability of the wheelchair when moving the wheels to any position, the
amount of tilt MUST be limited by adjusting the limit stops on the gas cylinders to prevent
the wheelchair from tipping onto the anti-tippers.
Operating Information
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the
wheelchair is unoccupied.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and
transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before
attempting active use of the wheelchair.
The necessary back angle (90°, 99°, 108°
or 120°) MUST be selected before repositioning
the wheels and adjusting the limit stops on the gas cylinders.
Both gas cylinders MUST be operational before using the wheelchair. DO NOT operate
the tilt-in-space if only one of the gas cylinders is operational.
DO NOT operate the tilt-in-space if the trigger release levers and cables are not properly
adjusted to ensure that the tilt-in-space is locked in place when engaged.
ALWAYS verify the userʹs hand position prior to activating the tilt-in-space feature. DO
NOT remove the side shrouds (see below) which cover the tilt mechanism. Failure to
observe this warning can result in serious injury.
ALWAYS wear your seat/chest positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat/chest positioning
strap is an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat/chest
positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat/chest positioning
strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
ALWAYS check foam grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose, contact a
qualified technician for instructions.
DO NOT traverse, climb or go down ramps or slopes greater than 9°.
NEVER leave the occupied wheelchair unattended at any time, especially on an incline.
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/seating system. 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
wheelchair may tip over.
