General Warnings
WARNING
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in the presence
of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
The necessary back angle (90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°, 115°
or 120°) MUST be selected before repositioning the rear wheels
forward.
DO NOT operate the tilt-in-space if the trigger release levers and cables are not properly adjusted to ensure that the tilt-
in-space is locked in place when engaged.
Pinch point may occur when returning the tilted seat to the full upright position. Make sure the hands and body of the
occupant, attendants and bystanders are clear of all pinch points before returning the tilted seat to the full upright position.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in
the upward position.
ALWAYS use the handrims for self-propulsion. Inasmuch as the handrims are an option on this wheelchair (you may order
with or without the handrims), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the handrims as an additional safeguard for the
wheelchair user.
Make sure detent balls of the quick-release pin are fully released before operating the wheelchair.
The detent balls MUST be protruding past the top of the seat plate assembly for a positive lock.
Keep detent balls clean.
