Invacare® Fox™
CAUTION!
Risk of injury or damage to the mobility device
or to the transporting vehicle, if the legrests are
in a raised position while the mobility device is
used as a vehicle seat.
– Always completely lower height-adjustable
legrests, if fitted.
In order to use a mobility device as a motor vehicle
seat, it needs to be fitted with tie-down points
to enable anchoring in the motor vehicle. These
accessories may be included in the standard scope of
mobility device order and delivery in some countries
(UK for example), but may also be obtained from
Invacare as an option in other countries.
This mobility device complies with the requirements of ISO
7176-19 and may be used as a vehicle seat in connection
with an anchoring system that has been checked and
approved in accordance with ISO 10542. The transporting
vehicle must be professionally converted to anchor the
mobility device. Contact your vehicle's manufacturer for
more information.
The mobility device has undergone a crash test in which
it was anchored in the transporting vehicle's direction of
travel. Other configurations were not tested. The crash test
dummy was secured using pelvic and upper body safety
belts. Both types of safety belt should be used in order to
minimize the risk of injuries to head or upper body.

– Contact Unwin for more information on how

vehicle type. For information concerning the
curb weight, refer to 12 Technical Data, page

It is imperative that the mobility device is inspected by
an authorized dealer before being used again after being
involved in a crash. Alterations to the mobility device
anchoring points may not be carried out without the
manufacturer's permission.
