Installing Crutch And Cane Carrier; Installing The Seat Positioning Strap - Invacare TRACER EX2 Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual

Installing Crutch and Cane Carrier

Check base weekly to ensure proper placement.
When loading the crutch/cane carrier, ensure items are securely placed into the base. Also
ensure that there is no interference with folding the wheelchair, the rear wheels, or the
swing-back arms.
Strap MUST be securely fastened while carrying items.
NEVER insert or remove items while wheelchair is moving.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 11.2.
1. Slide the clamp with the base attached over the end of the step tube of the wheelchair. Ensure the base is towards the
inside of the wheelchair.
2. Position the base parallel to the step tube.
CAUTION
Base should be parallel to step tube to avoid
bending spokes when folding the wheelchair.
3. Securely tighten the locknut that secures the base to the
step tube of the wheelchair.
4. Remove the upper back upholstery screw and washer.
5. Align the strap with the back upholstery screw
mounting hole.

secure the strap to the wheelchair.
