Safety Information On Wheelchairs With Recaro Seats And Aj Optimist Seats - Invacare Storm 4 Series User Manual

Invacare® Storm®⁴ Series
CAUTION!
Damage to wheelchair caused by one-sided
loading on lifter pillar
– One-sided loading occurs if the seat is raised
and/or tilted. Always return your seat backrest
to the upright position and the seat tilting to
the horizontal position before ascending slopes.
Never subject the lifter pillar to continuous
single-sided loading. The raising and tilting
function of the seat only provides additional
rest positions.
Important information regarding speed reduction
with raised lifter
– If the lifter has been raised above a certain
point, the drive electronics considerably
reduces the speed of the wheelchair. If speed
reduction has been activated, drive mode can
only be used to carry out minor movements of
the wheelchair and not for regular driving. To
drive normally, lower the lifter until the speed
reduction has been deactivated again. See
chapter The Lifter for details.

2.8 Safety information on wheelchairs with
Recaro seats and AJ Optimist seats
CAUTION!
Risk of injury if the wheelchair tips over
The center of gravity of a Recaro seat or AJ
Optimist seat is higher than that of other seats.
These seats are also heavier than other seating
systems. The backrest can be leaned back 90°
and 60° respectively. For these reasons there is
an increased risk of tipping over.
– Never lean the backrest backward more than
30° degrees, and never exceed 15° when
driving the wheelchair.
