WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.
Recliner Operation
WARNING
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the recliner option.
ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (sitting up) the
wheelchair.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT POSITIONING
STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat
positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning
strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. The seat positioning strap
is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding
high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt
MUST be replaced immediately.
Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the Jymni Recliner.
TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS/ASSISTANTS:
Make sure occupant's hands and body are clear of all pinch points before reclining
back. Pinch Points exist between spreader bar and recliner mechanism. Use
caution, otherwise injury may occur.
Keep clear when reclining or inclining chair back to avoid injury.
Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the wheelchair before reclining or
inclining (sitting up) to maintain maximum stability and safety. Refer to
Safety/Handling of wheelchairs on page 17.
When returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position, more
body strength will be required for approximately the last twenty degrees (20°) of
incline (sitting up). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek
assistance if necessary to avoid injury.
Before using the recliner option, make sure the anti-tipper wheel assemblies are in
the lowest adjustment hole (adjustment hole closest to the ground/floor.)
