  • Page 15: Repair And Service Information

    SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES To maintain maximum stability, position the rear wheels in the most rearward position  in the axle mounting plate. Moving the rear wheels to any of the other mounting  positions causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Always ensure stability before moving the rear wheels forward. Test wheelchair before it  is occupied by the end user to ensure safety. Repair and Service Information Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the  wheelchair is unoccupied. Operating Information Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with  Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested  by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products. Anti‐tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel  surfaces, anti‐tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tip over. Extra  caution must be observed when traversing such surfaces. DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°. NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline. DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film. DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to  turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair. DO determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching  and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before  attempting active use of the wheelchair. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in your seat. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching  down between your knees. DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind as this may  cause the wheelchair and/or seating system (if any) to tip over. DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the  wheelchair and/or seating system (if any) may tip over. DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance.
  • Page 16 ALWAYS engage both wheel locks and reduce the gap distance before transferring to and  from the wheelchair. Turn all casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Wheel locks are not brakes. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel  locks.  Engaging the wheel locks may not prevent the wheelchair from moving on all floor  surfaces including those that may be wet or slick. always exercise caution when  transferring into or out of your wheelchair. DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts.  Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury  to the user or damage to the wheelchair. NEVER try to lift or tip the wheelchair by cantilever arms or T‐ arms, serious injury can  occur. DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the  frame tubing. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury. DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat frame rails  are fully seated into the side frame H‐blocks. 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 belt 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, belt must be replaced immediately. If wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high  humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips DO NOT twist on  wheelchair handle ‐ otherwise damage or injury may occur.  ALWAYS verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure prior to use when an assistant  is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or deterioration and if  found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to move the wheelchair by pulling  on the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure or have deteriorated. ALWAYS use the handrims for self‐propulsion. Inasmuch as the handrims are an option  on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the handrims), Invacare strongly  recommends ordering the handrims as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.  ProSPIN™ X4™ Part No 1125104...

  • Page 21: Coping With Everyday Obstacles

    SECTION 3—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times maintain  proper balance. Your wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and stable during  normal daily activities as long as you do not move beyond the center of gravity. DO NOT  lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests. Coping with Everyday Obstacles Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be somewhat alleviated by learning  how to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability  and balance. A Note to Wheelchair Assistants When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body  mechanics. Keep your back straight and bend your knees whenever tilting wheelchair or  traversing curbs or other impediments. Also, be aware of detachable parts such as arms or legrests. These must NEVER be used  to move the wheelchair or as lifting supports, as they may be inadvertently released,  resulting in possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s). When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced assistant help you before  attempting it alone. Transferring to and from Other Seats WARNING BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance.
