OPERATING INFORMATION
WARNING
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring
activities in the presence of a qualified health professional BEFORE attempting active use of the
wheelchair.
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable BEFORE using the tilt-in-space. Rear wheels may have to
be repositioned rearward depending on the degree of tilt-in-space required. ALWAYS ensure stability BE-
FORE using maximum amount of tilt-in-space (45
o
for 15-20-inch seat depths and 35
o
for 20 and 21-inch
seat depths). TEST wheelchair BEFORE it is occupied by the end user to ensure safety.
Changing the seat depth of the wheelchair changes the stability of the wheelchair. To maintain stabil-
ity, reposition the rear wheels towards the rear of the wheelchair BEFORE using the wheelchair.
To maintain the stability of the wheelchair when moving the rear wheels to ANY forward position, the
amount of tilt MUST be limited by adjusting the limit stops on the gas cylinders to prevent the wheel-
chair from tipping onto the anti-tippers.
The necessary back angle (90
o
, 99
o
, 108
o
or 120
o
) MUST be selected BEFORE repositioning the rear
wheels forward 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 (1) 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 gas cylinders lock in place when engaged.
DO NOT TRAVERSE, CLIMB or GO DOWN ramps or slopes GREATER than 9
o
.
Never leave the 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. 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.
WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel
locks.
DO NOT tip the wheelchair onto the rear wheels without assistance.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce
the gap distance. Turn both casters toward the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to
and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS ENGAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS.
DO NOT use wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT overinflate the tires.
Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm.
DO NOT use unauthorized parts, accessories, or adapters other than authorized by Invacare.
Do not attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of
any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the
wheelchair.
