Page 12: Section 1-General Guidelines
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. Proper Fit The handcycle MUST be adjusted to fit the rider. For a proper fit: • The rider MUST be able to see over the hand crank. • The rider MUST have a slightly bent elbow when the hand pedals are toward the front of the handcycle (farthest from the riderʹs face). • The rider MUST have a slight bend at the knee when feet are in the footrests. Feet should be flat against footrest hoop. • XLT Series requires a 18ʹ turning radius. If leg touches tire during turn and user cannot sense this, a leg guard attachment is recommended. • The riderʹs knees MUST not obstruct hand crank operation. Check the seat position, back angle, quick‐release on threaded axles, footrest fore/aft position, hand crank height for proper fit and smooth operation of your handcycle. Operating Information Wear your helmet at all times when riding the handcycle. - Page 13 SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Top End XLT, XLT jr., and XLT Gold Models Only ‐ The parking brake of the handcycle MUST be engaged before attempting any transfer. Top End XLT Pro Model Only ‐ This model may be ordered with or without a parking brake. If ordered without a parking brake, the handcycle MUST be positioned securely against a stable object before any transfer is attempted. If ordered with the optional parking brake, the parking brake MUST be engaged before attempting any transfer. 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 lights 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 ʺbottom outʺ and/or turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the handcycle. 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. 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. ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an option on this handcycle (you may order with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the handcycle user. 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. With regard to restraints – seat/chest positioning straps – it is the obligation of the DME dealer, therapists and other healthcare professionals to determine if a seat/chest positioning strap is required to ensure the save operation of this equipment by the user. SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF A FALL FROM A WHEELCHAIR. 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 ...

Page 14: Tire Pressure
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Tire Pressure DO NOT use your handcycle 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. DO NOT ride on a flat or underinflated tires. Riding on flat or underinflated tires can cause injury, as well as, damage to the tire, tube and handcycle. Weight Limitation The Invacare Top End XLT handcycles have a weight limitation of 250 lbs.

Page 15: Section 2-Safety And Handling
SECTION 2—SAFETY AND HANDLING SECTION 2—SAFETY AND HANDLING Safety and Handling of the Handcycle Requires the close attention of the user as well as the assistant. This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the handcycle. It is important to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering the handcycle. Use this information only as a basic guide. The techniques that are discussed on the following pages have been used successfully by many. Individual users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual to try what works best for him/her in overcoming obstacles that they may encounter. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new handcycle user and assistant with safety as the most important consideration for all. Stability and Balance For stability and proper operation of your handcycle, you MUST at all times maintain proper balance. Your handcycle should remain upright and stable during normal daily activities when operated correctly. Invacare recommends using seat positioning straps for additional safety. A Note to Handcycle Assistants When learning assistance techniques for the handcycle, have an experienced assistant help you before attempting it alone. When you are assisting with a transfer to/from the handcycle, remember to use good ... -
Page 16: Percentage Of Weight Distribution
Percentage of Weight Distribution Transferring in and out of the handcycle will cause a change to the normal balance, the center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the handcycle. To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified health care professional before attempting a transfer alone. Proper positioning is essential for your safety. Transferring Into/Out of the Handcycle Before attempting to transfer in or out of the handcycle, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Position the XLT on level ground and as close as possible to the object you are transferring into or out of. - Page 17 NOTE: During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Although it may be difficult to wedge the transfer board between the handcycle seat and the handcycle seat, use a transfer board if necessary. NOTE: Refer to STEPS A‐F in FIGURE 2.1 for details regarding transfer to/from a handcycle. 6. Shift body weight onto object while transferring. 7. Lift and place left leg past front frame across seat and over center tube. WARNING If installed, parking brake MUST be secured. STEP F: Place both legs onto handcycle footrests and secure safety straps. Handcycle Pedals (positioned toward the front of the handcycle). Footrest Seat Frame STEP E: Lift and shift weight down into handcycle seat.
