Below you will find a number of points affecting your personal safety.
Read them carefully! Contact your local Invacare office or Health
Care provider in case you need assistance.
Invacare is only responsible for product changes carried out by
competent personnel. We reserve the right to make any changes to
equipment and specifications without prior notice.
Failure to comply with instructions given may result in personal injury
and/or product damage.
WARNING!
Risk of falling
– Check that all parts are attached securely to the frame.
– Check that all wheels, knobs, screws and nuts are
properly tightened.
– Check that all brakes and anti-tip devices (optional on
some models) function correctly.
– Check that the backrest and the push handles / push
bar are properly secured.
– Check that the wheelchair is stable.
– Always apply the brake before getting into or out of
the chair.
– Never stand on the footplates when getting into or
out of the chair, because of the risk of tipping.
– Changing the seat angle can mean an increased risk
of tipping over.
– Use the anti-tip device (optional on some models).
– Remember that the effectiveness of the carer-operated
brake is reduced in wet and slippery conditions, as
well as when on a slope.
– Be careful to ensure that the rearwheels are securely
attached.
– There is a risk of tipping and injury if the Velcro®
straps on the backrest become too slack. Always
check the tension. Also check that the rear wheels are
adjusted to ensure that there is no risk of tipping.
WARNING!
Risk of injury
– Never lift the wheelchair by the detachable armrests,
footrests, back brace or by the adjustable push handles.
– The handrims may become hot due to friction, which
may cause injury to your hands.
– Surfaces of the wheelchair like frame parts or
upholstery can, after long exposure to the sun, reach
temperatures over 41°C.
– When mounting accessories etc. be careful not to trap
your fingers.
– There is always an increased risk of trapping parts of
your body when tilting the wheelchair's back and seat.
– The seat width must always be fitted carefully in order
to avoid that the inside of the armrests press against
the side of the pelvis.
