Weight Training
Invacare
DOES
NOT
recommend
the
use
of
its
wheelchairs
as
a
weight
training
apparatus.
Invacare
wheelchairs
have
not
been
designed
or
tested
as
a
seat
for
any
kind
of
weight
training.
If
occupant
uses
said
wheelchair
as
a
weight
training
apparatus,
Invacare
shall
not
be
liable
for
bodily
injury,
and
the
warranty
is
void.
Weight Limitation
The
Nutron
R50LX,
R51
and
R51LX
have
a
weight
limitation,
including
the
seating
system,
of
250
lbs.
The
Nutron
R51LXP
has
a
weight
limitation
of
300
lbs.
Refer
to
Percentage
of
Weight
Distribution
on
page 21.
Invacare
recommends
that
only
heavy
‐
duty
wheelchairs
be
used
for
individuals
weighing
more
than
250
lbs.
Further,
the
activity
level
of
the
individual
wheelchair
user
is
important.
For
instance,
a
170
lbs
active
wheelchair
user
could
subject
the
wheelchair
to
more
stress
than
a
250
lbs
user.
Invacare
recommends
that
very
active
users
consider
using
heavy
‐
duty
wheelchairs.
