WARNING
Wheelchair Tie Down Restraints
Invacare recommends that wheelchair users NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs. As of this
date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a
wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for
transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not
recommend any wheelchair transportation systems.
Stability Warning
The seat height, seat depth, back angle, seating system/upholstery, size/position of the rear wheels, size/position of the front
casters, as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one or any
combination of the nine may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST be performed by a
qualified technician.
Seat-to-floor heights have specific positions depending on rear wheel size, rear wheel position, front caster size/position
and seat-to-floor angle. These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
