Safety Information With Regard To Care And Maintenance - Invacare Storm4 Series User Manual

Invacare® Storm®⁴ Series
WARNING!
Risk of injury
If your mobility device has been fitted with
elevating legrests, there is a risk of personal
injury and damage to the mobility device if you
drive the mobility device with the legrests raised.
– To avoid unwanted displacement of the mobility
device center of gravity to the front (especially
when travelling downhill) and in order to
avoid damage to the mobility device, elevating
legrests must always be lowered during normal
travelling.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping
Antitippers (stabilizers) are only effective on firm
ground. They sink in on soft ground such as
grass, snow or mud if the mobility device rests
itself on them. They lose their effect and the
mobility device can tip over.
– Only drive with extreme care on soft ground,
especially during uphill and downhill journeys.
In the process pay increased attention to the
tip stability of the mobility device.
