Invacare® TDX® SP2 Series
WARNING!
Risk of Injury, Damage or Death
Loss of traction or stability on inclines/grades
or ramps may cause injury, damage or death.
Lighter weight users may be at an increased
risk. Surfaces that may be wet, icy, oily, slippery,
painted, treated wood, rotten wood, rusted
metal or other similar surfaces or materials may
also increase risk.
– DO NOT use on inclines or ramps where
surface is uncertain or compromised.
– DO NOT use on inclines greater than nine
(9) degrees.
– DO NOT operate the seating system while on
an incline. Operation on an incline may result
in increased instability.
– To determine and establish your particular
safety limits, practice use of this product
on various sloping surfaces in the presence
of a qualified healthcare provider before
attempting active use of this wheelchair.
– DO NOT use on inclines where line of sight is
impaired.
– Travel at a reduced, constant speed and DO
NOT make sudden stops or direction changes.
Release the joystick and allow the wheelchair
to come to a full stop before changing
directions. Traveling at high speeds reduces
traction and increases stopping distance.
WARNING!
Risk of Injury, Damage or Death

or ramps may cause injury, damage or death.
Lighter weight users may be at an increased
risk. Surfaces that may be wet, icy, oily, slippery,

on an incline.
– DO NOT leave elevating legrests in the fully
extended position when proceeding down
inclines/grades.
– DO NOT leave an unoccupied wheelchair
unattended on inclines or ramps.
DANGER!
Risk of Death or Serious Injury
Traveling down inclines in reverse could cause
the wheelchair to tip over resulting in death
or serious injury
– DO NOT travel down inclines in reverse.

with PTFE coating (Teflon®). Never grease
these sockets!
– Never use "normal" nuts instead of
self-locking nuts.
– Always use correctly-dimensioned washers
and spacers.
– When reassembling, always replace any cable
ties which were cut during dismantling.
– After completing your work / before renewed
start-up of the mobility device, check all

your work.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury and damage to property, if the
maximum speed reduction on a wheelchair
with elevate does not function correctly
The wheelchair's control unit must reduce the
maximum possible speed when elevated seating
is raised.
– Test the maximum speed reduction for
correct function after any maintenance work
or modifications to the wheelchair.
CAUTION!
Any changes to the drive program can affect
the driving characteristics and the tipping
stability of the vehicle
– Changes to the drive program may only be
carried out by trained Invacare specialist
dealers.
– Invacare supplies all mobility devices with a
standard drive program ex-works. Invacare
can only give a warranty for safe vehicle
driving behavior - especially tipping stability -
for this standard drive program.
Mark all current settings for the mobility device
(seat, armrests, backrest etc.), and the associated
cable connecting plugs, before dismantling. This
makes reassembly easier. All plugs are fitted with
mechanical safety devices which prevent release of
the connecting plugs during operation. To release
the connecting plugs the safety devices must be
pressed in. When reassembling ensure that these
safety devices are correctly engaged.
