1.1 INTRODUCTION
This model has been designed to offer you all
the features and functions you might need. After
thorough inspections of the entire manufacturing
process, we have only selected quality components
for your wheelchair.
This user manual describes what your wheelchair
can do as well as the maintenance work and adjust-
ments you and your carer can carry out.
However, technical knowledge is required for
making repairs (except for the inner tubes) and
certain adjustments. This must therefore be done
by your supplier.
The Rea Spirea4 NG is designed for both indoor
and outdoor use and to help people who are unable
to walk long distances.
Even though your Invacare wheelchair has been
designed to work for a long time without problems,
it is inevitable that wear and tear as well as daily
use will eventually lead to the product becoming
unusable. Invacare estimates that this product's
average lifetime is five years, provided that the
product is maintained correctly according to the
manufacturer's recommendations.
