Safety Devices - Invacare MyOn HC User Manual

WARNING!
Wheel Locks
– If the wheelchair is equipped with push to lock
wheel locks, elevating legrests, and wheel lock
extension handles, the wheel lock extension
handles MUST be removed before swinging the
elevating legrests to the side, otherwise injury
or damage may result. Interference between
the top of the elevating legrest and the wheel
lock extension handle causes the wheel lock
to disengage.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping
– The hanging of additional load (back pack or
similar items) onto your chair backposts can
affect the rearward stability of your wheelchair,
especially when used in combination with
angle adjustable backrests. – Invacare strongly
recommend the use of anti-tipper (available
as an option) when using your backposts with
additional load.

WARNING!
Hand Grips
– When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas
use only a clean towel lightly dampened with
cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to
use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning
solutions will result in the hand grips sliding
off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this
warning may result in injury to the user or
bystanders.
– 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 that the handgrips DO NOT twist on
the handle. Otherwise, damage or injury may
occur.
WARNING!
Tire Information
– Replacement of the tire or tube MUST be
performed by a qualified technician.

2.2 Safety devices

WARNING!
Risk of accidents
Safety devices that are incorrectly set or no longer
working (brakes, antitipper) can cause accidents.

working before you use the wheelchair and
have them checked regularly by a qualified
technician/dealer.
