3 SAFETY ƽ WARNING To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice use of this product on various sloping surfaces in the presence of a qualified healthcare provider before attempting active use of this wheelchair. Other general warnings listed within this document also apply. Be aware that carrying heavy objects on your lap while occupying the wheelchair may adversely affect the stability of the wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user, damage to the wheelchair and surrounding property. This wheelchair has been designed to accommodate one individual. If more than one individual occupies the wheelchair this may adversely affect the stability of the wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user and passenger and damage to the wheelchair and surrounding property. Many activities require the wheelchair user to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These movements will cause a change to the normal balance, center of gravity, and weight distribution of the wheelchair. To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair. When using the recliner/high back van seat, the motor/gearbox or motor MUST use the most rearward mounting holes on the suspension arm assembly. To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times maintain proper balance. Your wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and stable during normal daily activities as long as you DO NOT move beyond the center of gravity. DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests. Changing the position of where the motors are positioned affects the weight distribution over the rear wheels. The following contains information about changing the position of the motors. Rear Position - Lengthens the wheelbase and gives the wheelchair the most stability and standard maneuverability. Middle Position - Centers the wheelbase and gives the wheelchair standard stability and maneuverability. Forward Position - Shortens the wheelbase and increases maneuverability and distributes additional weight on rear wheels. The forward mounting position is not available on Arrow wheelchairs equipped with GB motors. Part No 1143151 27 Invacare 3G Storm Series®
