Introduction

Thank-you for purchasing a wheelchair from Invacare. This model offers you 

all the advantages and characteristics of a product that has been designed 

especially to meet your particular requirements.

Great care has been taken with this wheelchair throughout the whole of its 

manufacturing process. The components have been selected for their quality 

and inspections have been carried out so that your wheelchair can provide 

you with full satisfaction.

This booklet describes the wheelchair’s limits of use, the maintenance to be 

performed  and  those  adjustments  which  can  be  made  by  yourself  or  your 

family.

However, special technical training is required for some adjustments and only 

your distributor can undertake these.
