Usability

Only use a power wheelchair when it is in perfect working order. Otherwise, you might put yourself
and others at risk.
The following list does not claim to be exhaustive. It is only intended to show some of the situations
that could affect the usability of your power wheelchair.
In certain situations, you should immediately stop using your wheelchair. Other situations allow you
to use the wheelchair to get to your dealer.
• You should immediately stop using your power wheelchair if its usability is restricted due to:
- brake failure
• You should immediately contact an authorised Invacare® dealer if the usability of your power
wheelchair is restricted due to:
- the lighting system failing or being defective
- reflectors falling off
- worn thread or insufficient tyre pressure
- damage to the armrests (e.g. torn armrest padding)
- damage to the legrest hangers (e.g. missing or torn heel loops)
- damage to the postural belt
- damage to the joystick (joystick cannot be moved into the neutral position)
