WARNING!
Risk of injury to the assistant and damage to
the wheelchair
Tilting the chair with a heavy user can hurt the
assistant's back and damage the chair.
– Make sure to be able to safely control the
wheelchair with a heavy user before performing
a tilting maneuver.
WARNING!
Risk of tipping
The hanging of additional load (back pack
or similar items) onto your wheelchair back
posts can affect the rearward stability of your
wheelchair. This can cause the chair to tip
backwards causing injury.
– Therefore, Invacare strongly recommend the
use of anti-tippers (available as an option)
when using your back posts with additional
load (back pack or similar items).
