    CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE. Serial number information is located under the seat of the chair. 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.
  • Page 7 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.

    SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES WARNING SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading and understanding these instructions and any additional instructional material such as Owner’s Manuals, Service Manuals or Instruction Sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment.
  • Page 16 SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching  down between your knees. DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind as this may  cause the wheelchair to tip over. DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the  wheelchair may tip over. DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance. DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may  occur. Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should  be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both castors parallel to the object you are  transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from  moving. DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°. DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film. DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to  turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair. 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. Because TOP END wheelchairs are made to the specifications of the original owners it is  unlikely that refurbished product would be suitable to other user’s needs. DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by  means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user  or damage to the wheelchair. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair. Check all allen screws that secure the footrest/raised footrest system to the chair frame  before using the wheelchair, especially if engaging in any contact sport. Anti‐tippers MUST BE attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti‐tippers are an option on  this wheelchair (you may order with or without the anti‐tippers), Invacare strongly  recommends ordering the anti‐tippers as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. Anti‐tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel  surfaces, anti‐tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tip over. Extra  caution MUST be observed when traversing such surfaces. Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the  wheelchair is unoccupied. ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP ...

  • Page 17: Tyre Pressure And Information

    SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES 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. ALWAYS use the handrims for self‐propulsion. Inasmuch as the handrims are an option  on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the handrims), Invacare strongly  recommends ordering the handrims as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.  DO NOT use the footplate as a platform when getting in or out of the wheelchair. The bumper design creates a potential foot entrapment area. Ensure the occupant’s legs  and feet are properly secured during use. When transferring the occupant, ensure the feet  do not slip between the bumper and the footrests. Tyre Pressure and Information DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tyre pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT  overinflate the tyres. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tyre to explode  and cause bodily harm. The recommended tyre pressure is on the sidewall of the tyre. Replacement of the tyre or tube MUST be performed by a qualified technician. Weight Training Invacare DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training  apparatus. Invacare wheelchairs have not been designed or tested as a seat for any kind  of weight training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight training apparatus,  Invacare shall not be liable for bodily injury and the warranty is void. Weight Limitation Invacareʹs Top End Everyday and Sport Series wheelchairs (Terminator Titanium,  Terminator Everyday, Terminator BB, X‐Terminator BB, Paul Schulte Signature BB, T‐5  Tennis Elite, X‐Terminator titanium, X‐terminator Quad Rugby QR and Transformer All  Sport) have a weight limitation of 250 lbs (113.4 kg).  Terminator Everyday wheelchairs with the  Weight Capacity heavy duty option have a weight  Label Camber limitation of 350 lbs (158.76 kg).

    MUST be replaced immediately. Anti-tippers MUST BE attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the anti-tippers), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.

  • Page 19: Coping With Everyday Obstacles

    SECTION 2—SAFE HANDLING Coping with Everyday Obstacles Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be alleviated somewhat by learning  how to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability  and balance. A Note to Wheelchair Assistants When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body  mechanics. Keep your back straight and bend your knees whenever tilting the wheelchair  or traversing curbs, or other impediments. WARNING DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.

  • Page 20: Reaching, Leaning And Bending - Forward

    SECTION 2—SAFE HANDLING Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning, bending forward,  it is important to use the front castors as a tool to maintain stability and balance.  • Lengthening the wheelbase will increase the stability and maintain standard  manoeuverability of wheelchair. • Shortening the wheelbase will decrease the stability, increase the manoeuverability  and distribute additional weight onto the rear wheels. Rear of Center of Wheelchair Gravity Lengthening the Wheelbase Shortening the Wheelbase Unoccupied Occupied Reaching, Leaning and Bending - Forward Position the front castors so that they are  extended as far forward as possible and  engage wheel locks.  WARNING DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.

  • Page 21: Tipping

    Tipping - Curbs WARNING Invacare does not recommend that sport wheelchairs be used where traversing curbs present an obstacle. Possible injury to occupant and/or assistant(s) can occur. Transfer to an everyday use wheelchair is recommended if any such obstacles may be encountered.

  • Page 22: Stairways

    Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied wheelchair up or down a stairway. Invacare recommends that, if possible, the user be removed from the wheelchair prior to moving. Invacare recommends using two assistants and making thorough preparations.

    SECTION 2—SAFE HANDLING 3. The second assistant, with a firm hold on a non‐detachable part of the framework, lifts  the wheelchair up and over the stair and steadies it as the first assistant places one foot  on the next stair and repeats procedure. 4. The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last stair has been negotiated and it  has been rolled away from the stairway. 5. If equipped, turn the anti‐tippers down. Refer to Footrest/Anti‐Tipper on page 61 in  this manual. WARNING DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur. Transferring To and From Other Seats WARNING Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance.

    SECTION 3—SAFETY INSPECTION SECTION 3—SAFETY INSPECTION NOTE: Every six months, take your wheelchair to a qualified technician for a thorough inspection  and servicing. Regular cleaning will reveal loose or worn parts and enhance the smooth operation  of your wheelchair. To operate properly and safely, your wheelchair must be cared for just like any  other vehicle. Routine maintenance will extend the life and efficiency of your wheelchair. Clean  upholstery with mild soap and water or spray disinfectant using a sponge. DO NOT use bleach or  wash in a washing machine.
