to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the chair.

DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the flip-up footboard, otherwise damage may occur. When getting in
or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the flip-up footboard is in the upward position.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt

means of any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the
user or damage to the wheelchair.
Make sure the detent balls of the quick-release pin are fully released beyond the outer
edge of the tube before operating the wheelchair. Otherwise, injury and/or damage may
result.
Keep detent balls clean.

Tire Pressure

DO NOT release wheelchair from service unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO
NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these recommendations may cause the tire to
explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall
of the tire.

Batteries

The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the
use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their
