Intended use

Daily performance check
INVACARE ® XLT
• Invacare® XLT is a manual wheelchair aimed for those who use the wheel-
chair for a longer period of time, i.e. several hours in a row.
• Invacare® XLT is designed for the user who can manoeuvre the wheelchair
him/herself, as well as for the user who requires assistance.
• Invacare® XLT is versatile and has accessories that makes it possible to
adjust the sitting posture so it stays comfortable for several hours.
• Invacare® XLT has many adjustment possibilities. With the right adjust-
ments, carried out by a professional, the wheelchair can be set up specifically
for a user and according to the requirements of a possible assistant.
• Invacare® XLT can be used both indoors and outdoors on level ground
and paved areas. We recommend the larger wheels when the wheelchair
is used on uneven ground.
• Note that there is an increased risk that the Invacare® XLT could tip
backwards, when being wheeled uphill, especially when the incline is more
than 8°. Or if the rear wheels are mounted in their formost position on
the rear wheel attachment. The effect of mounting the rear wheels in their
foremost position is that the chair will be easier to manoeuvre. However,
there is the increased risk of tipping backwards. Therefore the use of anti
tip devices to achieve better stability is strongly recommended.
• Invacare® XLT is designed to have a seat cushion on the seat. The seat
cushion improves the user's body posture and makes it possible to sit
comfortably for longer periods of time.
• Invacare® XLT with a backrest, adjusted to a height of minimum
40 cm, a neckrest and a pelvic belt can be used as a seat in a vehicle. For
other configurations the user must transfer to the normal seat in a car
or bus.
Check that the following parts are securely fitted on the wheelchair
and operational:
• Wheels
• Brakes
• Backrest
• Anti-tip device, if fitted
• Push handles, if fitted
• Footrests or footbow
• Pelvic belt, if fitted
• Neck-/headrest, if fitted
