DANGER!
Risk of Death, Serious Injury, or Damage

Continued use of the wheelchair that is not set to the
correct specifications may cause erratic behavior of the
wheelchair resulting in death, serious injury, or damage.

Performance adjustments should only be made by

professionals of the healthcare field or persons
fully conversant with this process and the driver's
capabilities.

After the wheelchair has been set up/adjusted, check

to make sure that the wheelchair performs to the
specifications entered during the set up procedure. If
the wheelchair does not perform to specifications,
turn the wheelchair Off immediately and reenter set
up specifications. Contact Invacare, if wheelchair still
does not perform to correct specifications.

WARNING!
Risk of Serious Injury or Damage

Moving the seating system from the factory setting may
reduce driver control, wheelchair stability, traction
and increase caster wear resulting in serious injury or
damage.

Move the seating system ONLY when necessary to fit

the wheelchair to the user.

If the seating system must be moved, ALWAYS inspect

the wheelchair to ensure the front rigging DOES NOT
interfere with the front casters.

If the seating system must be moved, ALWAYS

inspect to ensure the wheelchair DOES NOT easily
tip forward or backward.

WARNING!
Risk of Injury, Damage or Death

Improper routing of cord(s) may cause tripping,
entanglement or strangulation hazard that may result
in injury, damage or death.

Ensure all cord(s) are routed and secured properly.

Ensure there are no loops of excess cable extending

away from the chair.

Close supervision and attention is needed when

operating the wheelchair near children, pets or people
with physical/mental disabilities.

WARNING!
Risk of Injury, Damage or Death

Pinched or severed cord(s) may be a shock or fire hazard
and may cause injury, damage or death.

Ensure all cord(s) are routed and secured properly.

Inspect cord(s) periodically for proper routing,

pinching, chafing or other similar wear.

Replace any damaged cords immediately.

WARNING!
Risk of Serious Injury

Sharp edges can cause serious injury.

Be mindful that some parts may have sharp edges. Use

caution when encountering these sharp edges.

WARNING!
Risk of Serious Injury

Hot surfaces can cause severe burns.

Be mindful of potential hot surfaces and avoid touching.
