WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of
wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the
type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her
healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS
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. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any
wheelchair transportation systems.
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction
with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not
been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for use as a
safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If
signs of wear appear, belt must be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
POWERED SEATING SYSTEMS ONLY - This seating system has been custom
designed and will be assembled to the wheelchair base before delivery to the user.
The information contained in this manual is for maintaining and adjusting the seat-
ing system. There are very few adjustments that can safely be made by the user. If
there is a procedure or adjustment that needs to be performed on the seating sys-
tem that is not in this manual, do not perform that procedure. Have the seating sys-
tem serviced by a qualified technician.
