• After the wheelchair has been set up, check to ensure that the wheelchair performs to the specifications

wheelchair OFF immediately and re-enter setup specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair
performs to specifications.
• DO NOT use parts, accessories or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare.

• Take care when disengaging automatic brakes if the chair is on a slope.
TYRE PRESSURE

Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tyre to explode and cause bodily harm. The
recommended tyre pressure is listed on the wall of the tyre.
