Page 7: Special Notes
As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type. It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto industry.
Page 8 ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.

Page 13: Section 1-General Guidelines
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES WARNING SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. Information for Healthcare Professionals/Assistants The Solara 3G/Spree 3G wheelchair MUST be operated by a healthcare professional or assistant when in any tilt position. Anterior (Forward) Tilt DO NOT operate the wheelchair when the seat frame is in the anterior (forward) tilt position (frame stops in the lower position and approximately 5° forward tilt). Serious bodily injury may occur to the patient and/or the assistant(s). Anterior (forward) tilt is a feature of this wheelchair designed for the USE OF A HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONAL or ASSISTANT ONLY. Engagement of the anterior (forward) tilt must NEVER be performed by the wheelchair user. When anterior (forward) tilt is needed, it must ALWAYS be engaged by a healthcare professional or assistant. Make sure the occupant of the wheelchair is properly positioned and always engage both wheel locks. Stability - All Models The back height, seat depth, back angle, seating system, tilt angle, seat height, size/position of the rear ...
Page 14: Stability - All Models Except Recliners
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Stability - All Models Except Recliners To maintain maximum stability, position the rear wheel axle mounting brackets in the most rearward position. Moving the rear wheels to any of the other mounting positions causes the wheelchair to decrease in stability. If moving the rear wheel axle mounting brackets to any forward position, ensure the wheelchair is stable before using. ALWAYS ensure stability before using maximum amount of tilt‐in‐space or moving the rear wheel axle mounting brackets forward. Test wheelchair before it is occupied by the end user to ensure safety. Stability - Recliner Models Only Before using ANY recline position of this wheelchair, make sure the rear wheel axle mounting brackets are in the most rearward position in the axle mounting plate to maintain the stability of the wheelchair. DO NOT change the handling/maneuverability of the wheelchair by moving the rear wheel axle mounting brackets to ANY of the forward positions. Moving the rear wheel axle mounting brackets to ANY of the forward positions WILL change the center of gravity of the wheelchair, making the wheelchair less stable. ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable both in the full reclined (back at 180°) position and the full upright (back at 90°) position before using the recliner option. Before using the recliner option, make sure the anti‐tipper wheel assemblies are in the lowest adjustment hole (adjustment hole closest to the ground/floor). ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (sitting up) the wheelchair. Both gas cylinders MUST be operational and adjusted properly before using the recliner. DO NOT operate the recliner option if only one of the gas cylinders is operational or adjusted properly. Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the wheelchair before reclining or inclining (sitting up) to maintain maximum stability and safety. When returning the occupant of the wheelchair to the full upright position, more body strength will be required for approximately the last twenty degrees of incline (sitting up). Make sure to use proper body mechanics (use your legs) or seek assistance to avoid injury. Always return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair. Operation Information Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the wheelchair is ...
Page 15 DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees. DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery/seating system. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you to tip over. DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as wheelchair may tip over. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes. DO NOT tip the wheelchair onto the rear wheels without assistance. DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur. Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, always engage both wheel locks. DO NOT use wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. Recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire. DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair. Anti‐tippers MUST BE attached at all times. DO NOT use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position. ALWAYS use the handrims for self‐propulsion. Inasmuch as the handrims are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the handrims), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the handrims as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. If 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 on (product name here) handle ‐ otherwise damage or injury may occur. ALWAYS use anti‐tippers. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces, anti‐tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tip over. Extra caution must be observed when traversing such surfaces. DO NOT use the spreader bar or stroller handles for lifting or transporting the wheelchair. DO NOT use the spreader bar as a weight bearing support. Make sure detent balls of the quick‐release pin are fully released before operating the wheelchair. The detent balls MUST be protruding past the top of the seat plate assembly for a positive lock. Keep detent balls clean. Part No 1160889 Solara®3G/Spree 3G...
Page 16: Tire Pressure
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Wheelchairs with TRRO or TRBKTS Only Transport ready packages are not retrofittable to existing models and are not field serviceable. Only use the transport brackets included with TRRO and TRBKTS for the purposes described in this manual. Tire Pressure DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these recommendations may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire. Weight Training Invacare DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training apparatus. Invacare wheelchairs have NOT been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight training apparatus, INVACARE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR BODILY INJURY AND THE WARRANTY IS VOID. Weight Limitation Invacare Solara 3G/ Spree3G wheelchairs have a weight limitation of 200 lbs (91 kgs). Invacare Solara 3G wheelchairs have a weight limitation of 300 lbs (136 kgs).
