XE Ultralightweight Custom Manual Wheelchair
Adjustable angle brackets allow for 30˚ of
adjustment.
Bolt-on seat rails save time and cost on depth
adjustment.
Full range of fine-tune axle adjustment.
Positioning
For pediatric and adult-sized users who need
growth or space to accommodate moderate to
complex seating, XE is an ideal choice. It offers a
package of positioning features not found on other
chairs in its class.
• Adjustable angle back brackets offer 30˚ of adjustment
to meet needs including hip range-of-motion limitations,
trunk balance, swallowing, vision and even kyphotic
posture.
• Invacare Quick Set
™
washers snap onto frame replacing
cove washers in key adjustment locations, simplifying
and reducing adjustment time – an important provider
savings.
• Bolt-on seat rails allow the Compass XE to be used with
sling seat without sacrificing depth adjustability. Seat
rails and sling upholstery may be unbolted from
crossbraces and replaced with longer seat rails – again,
reducing time and cost involved in adjusting chair for
growth.
• Full range of fine-tune axle adjustment is an important
feature of the Compass XE. Over four-inches of
adjustment starting at the front edge of the back canes
allows the axle position to be moved into a position
relative to the position of the seating system. The axle
position can also be fine-tuned with different positions
every 3/8" throughout the adjustment range.
• Up to 170˚ of recline available when the recliner option is
chosen. The recline option may reduce the risk of
pressure sores, increase comfort and sitting tolerance,
assist with weight shift, aid in transfers and assist with
activities of daily living.
Recessed head tube bolts prevent
foot propellers from scraping their legs.
Front transport tie-down brackets are clearly
marked.*
Rear tie-down brackets are easily accessible for
caregivers.*
Wheelchair-anchored pelvic belt.
Self-Propulsion
The Compass
™
XE is different than other types of
ultralightweight wheelchairs for self-propellers.
• Seat-to-floor heights starting at 13.75" less seat rail allow
consumers to get their feet on the ground and maintain
independent mobility. Higher seat-to-floor heights make
it an ideal design for taller users.
• Recessed head tube bolts eliminate the nuts and bolts on
the inside of the side frames found on other ultra
lightweight wheelchair designs. Foot propellers will
avoid scraping their legs on head tube connections.
Portability
The Compass XE has also been designed to meet
the needs of growing adolescents who require
lightweight portability.
• Ultralightweight design balances adjustability and weight
to accommodate these two very important needs. The
chair folds tightly for storage in the trunk or back seat of a
car or van.
• Transport tie-down options: The Compass XE meets today’s
ANSI/RESNA W/C 19 Vol.1 Section 19.5.3 Frontal Impact
Test.*
Durability
With your most active wheelchair users, more bolted
connections on a wheelchair often equate to more
maintenance and long-term durability issues. The
Compass XE is designed to minimize these issues.
• One-piece side frames with increased spacing between
the top and bottom tubes reduce the number of bolted
connections found on multi-piece side frame folders,
improving the durability.
• Aluminum-reinforced head tubes lock head tube bolts into
place, preventing loosening and costly side frame
replacement. The head tubes endured Invacare’s stringent
product design testing and remained solid and stable
throughout the tests.
• Improved cross links have been strengthened to endure
many years of folding.
* This wheelchair conforms to the requirements of ANSI/RESNA
W/C 19 vol. 1 – sec. 19.5.3 (Frontal Impact Test), as tested with

seating system. Invacare recommends that wheelchair users
NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs.
As of this date, the U.S. Department of Transportation has not
approved any tie-down system for transportation of a user while
in a wheelchair in a moving vehicle of any type. See each
product’s sell sheet for the ANSI/RESNA W/C 19 sec. 6.2 Presale
