Part No. 1110550 17 Tracer® SX5
STAIRWAYS
WARNING
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.
DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detach-
able) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheel-
chair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.
Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when
an assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness
or deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT at-
tempt to move the wheelchair by pulling on the hand grips if they are found
to be unsecure or have deteriorated.
EXTREME CAUTION is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied
wheelchair up or down the stairs. Invacare recommends that, if possible, the
user be removed from the wheelchair prior to moving. Invacare recom-
mends using two (2) assistants and making thorough preparations. Make
sure to use ONLY secure, non-detachable parts for hand-held supports.
TRACER SX5 RECLINER ONLY - ALWAYS return the back to the upright
position before lifting the wheelchair.
Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair between floors when an eleva-
tor is NOT available:
1. If necessary, rotate the anti-tippers so the wheels are facing up.
2. After the wheelchair has been tilted back to the balance point, one assistant (in the rear)
backs the wheelchair up against the first step, while securely grasping a non-removable
(non-detachable) part of the wheelchair for leverage.
3. The second assistant, with a firm hold on a non-detachable part of the framework, lifts
the wheelchair up and over the stair and steadies the wheelchair as the first assistant
places one (1) foot on the next stair and repeats STEP 1.
4. The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last stair has been negotiated and the
wheelchair has been rolled away from the stairway.
5. If necessary, rotate the anti-tippers so the wheels are facing down.
ESCALATORS? SORRY!
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious
bodily injury may occur.
