GENERAL WARNINGS (CONTINUED)

Care must be taken when operating the Eliminator or Eliminator OSR on roads, streets or
highways.

Give pedestrians the right of way.

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9

O

.

DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.

NEVER use the hand caliper brake for immediate stops. Using the hand caliper brake
for immediate stops can make the front wheel lock up (skid) causing the front tire to
blow and go flat. If needing to stop immediately, grab the rear wheels with GLOVED
hands.

Before using the racing chair, inspect the hand caliper brake and hand caliper brake
pads for proper operation and wear. Replace if worn.

DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your racing chair
to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the racing chair.

DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare
Top End.

DO NOT stand or transfer on the frame of the racing chair.

Invacare strongly recommends that the racing chair be boxed or otherwise protected
before transporting by an airline carrier.

DO NOT use racing chair on an indoor training roller, otherwise the warranty will be
void.

TIRE PRESSURE AND INFORMATION
DO NOT use your racing chair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT
overinflate the tires. Refer to manufacturers recommendations on the sidewall of the
tire. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily
harm.

DO NOT continue using your racing chair if tires are bare or flat. The racing chair is not
stable with bare or flat tires, as tire may roll off and cause the racing chair to crash.
Bare tires may result in a flat which may cause the racing chair to crash or veer to one
side.

CORIMA CARBON FIBER WHEELS ONLY - Corima Wheels MUST NOT be used when tires
are bare or flat. If a flat wheel occurs, STOP IMMEDIATELY. Otherwise, the wheel war-
ranty will be void.

WEIGHT TRAINING
Invacare Top End DOES NOT recommend the use of its racing chairs as a weight training
apparatus. Invacare Top End racing chairs have NOT been designed or tested as a
seat for any kind of weight training. If occupant uses said racing chair as a weight
training apparatus, Invacare Top End shall NOT be liable for bodily injury and the war-
ranty will be voided immediately.

WEIGHT LIMITATION

250 lbs. (113.5 kg.).
