Operating Information - Invacare Veranda User Manual

3 SAFETY
WARNING
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of adjustment holes.
Anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an option on this wheelchair (you may order
with or without the anti-tippers), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as an additional safeguard for the
wheelchair user.
ALWAYS use anti-tippers. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces, anti tippers may not provide the
same level of protection against tipover. Extra caution MUST be observed when traversing such surfaces.

Operating Information

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise
injury or damage may occur.
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several
combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. Verify that grips are
dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly.
Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders.
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet,
prior to use, ensure that the handgrips DO NOT twist on the handle. Otherwise, damage or injury may occur.
DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat frame rails are in lowest position.
Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result.
If equipped, ALWAYS use anti-tippers. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces, anti-tippers may not provide the
same level of protection against tipover. Extra caution must be observed when traversing such surfaces.
DO NOT traverse, climb or go down ramps or slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.
