1.3 - Heat and Fire Warnings
Surfaces Affected by heat
The wheelchair is made from metal and plastic materials and, as with all
products made with such materials, it can absorb heat from the sun when
used outdoors or exposed to sunlight through windows etc.
This can result in the surfaces of the wheelchair becoming hot, so take care
in using it and touching the surfaces if it is left or used in such an
environment.
Fire and burning
The seat and backrest materials have been tested to ensure compliance
with ISO requirements for cigarette and match flame equivalent and are
non flammable but care must still be exercised if using cigarettes or other
smoking products, or sources of heat, not to drop them onto the seat and/or
backrest where they can become trapped between contacting/trap points on
the wheelchair.
1.4 Seat
- Your seat’s upholstery is screwed onto
the tops of the cross struts.
- Adjustment: This model requires no
adjustment. Just check regularly that the
screws (A) are tight. If the washers (B) are
loose, these screws should be tightened.
If the problem continues, contact your
INVACARE retailer and ask him to change
the mounting for safety reasons.
