Part No 1125027
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery/seating system. This will change your
center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as
wheelchair may tip over.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not
brakes.
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 parallel to 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. Recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.
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.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
Anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times.
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.
If wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high
humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips do not twist on (product
name here) handle - otherwise damage or injury may occur.
ALWAYS use anti-tippers. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces, anti-
tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tip over. Extra caution MUST
be observed when traversing such surfaces.
DO NOT use the spreader bar for lifting or transporting the wheelchair. DO NOT use the
spreader bar as a weight bearing support.
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.
