SECTION 1 GENERAL GUIDELINES
OPERATING INFORMATION (CONTINUED)
WARNING
Before attempting to transfer IN or OUT of the handcycle, every
precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Position the
handcycle on level ground and as close as possible to the object you are
transferring INTO or OUT of. The parking brake of the handcycle MUST
be engaged and the object you are transferring INTO or OUT of MUST
also be secured before attempting any transfers.
Care MUST be taken when operating on roads, streets or highways.
Operation of the handcycle is subject to all traffic rules and regulations. (This
may include the use of a safety light and reflectors for dusk/night riding.)
Give pedestrians the right of way.
Slow down at all street intersections and observe to the left, to the right
and back to left again before proceeding.
Use proper hand signals when turning.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with an ice or oil film.
DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles or speed bumps. Doing so
may cause your handcycle to "bottom out" and/or turn over and cause bodily
harm or damage to the handcycle.
DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized
by Invacare. Otherwise, the warranty is void.
DO NOT attempt to lift the handcycle by any removable (detachable)
parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of an
handcycle may result in injury to the user or damage to the handcycle.
DO NOT stand on the seat or frame of the handcycle.
If a seat positioning strap is deemed necessary by your health care
professional (doctor - therapist), ALWAYS wear a seat positioning strap.
Avoid all surface hazards.
DO NOT carry any riders.
DO NOT carry any items that may obstruct your view or prohibit you
from operating the handcycle properly.
DO NOT attempt to adjust or clean the internal gear hub with reversing
drum brake. This should only be performed by a bicycle professional.
