WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise
injury or damage may occur.

11.1 Operating Recliner

WARNING
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the recliner option.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an option on this wheelchair (you may
order with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an
additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. The seat positioning strap is a positioning strap only. It is not designed for use
as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, strap MUST be
replaced IMMEDIATELY.
Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the 9000XT Recliner.
LIFT KIT MODELS ONLY - Both spring lift mechanisms MUST be operational before using the recliner. DO NOT operate
the recliner option if only one of the spring lift mechanisms is operational.
TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS/ASSISTANTS:
Make sure occupant's hands and body are clear of all pinch points before reclining back. Pinch Points exist between
spreader bar and recliner mechanism. Use caution, otherwise injury may occur.
When returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position, more body strength will be required for
approximately the last twenty degrees of incline (reverse recline). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs)
or seek assistance if necessary to avoid injury.
