Tire Pressure
WARNING
DO NOT use your 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. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side
wall of the tire.
Weight Training
WARNING
Invacare DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training
apparatus. Invacare wheelchairs have not been designed or tested as a seat for any
kind of weight training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight training appara-
tus, Invacare shall not be liable for bodily injury, and the warranty is void.
Weight Limitation
WARNING
The Nutron R51 has a weight limitation, including the seating system, of 250 lbs.
The Nutron R51LXP has a weight limitation of 300 lbs. Refer to Coping With
Everyday Obstacles on page 21.
Invacare recommends that only heavy-duty wheelchairs be used for individuals
weighing more than 250 lbs. Further, the activity level of the individual wheelchair
user is important. For instance, a 170 lbs active wheelchair user could subject the
wheelchair to more stress than a 250 lbs user. Invacare recommends that very
active users consider using heavy-duty wheelchairs.
