Accessories; Batteries - Invacare Pronto M71 Jr. with SureStep Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. 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, seat positioning strap MUST be
replaced immediately.
DO NOT adjust the rear seat posts higher than the front seat posts.
Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that on/off switch on
the joystick is in the off position.
Avoid storing or using wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious
injury or damage to property may result.
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose and/or
worn, replace immediately.
If the 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 - otherwise
injury or damage may occur.
NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not
brakes.
Tilt Seats Only
A pinch point may occur when returning the tilted seat to the full upright position. Make
sure the hands and body of the occupant, attendants and bystanders are clear of all pinch
points before returning the tilted seat to the full upright position.
DO NOT allow the user to leave the wheelchair while the seat is tilted. ALWAYS return
the seat to upright position when transferring the user in or out of the wheelchair.

Accessories

EXTREME care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric
circuits and other combustible materials. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in

Batteries

The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the
use of deep cycle gel cell batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power
source for this unit.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or
operating your wheelchair.
