2 SAFETY Coping with Everyday Obstacles Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be somewhat alleviated by learning how to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability and balance. While the wheelchair is designed for use primarily in and around the home, the provider should determine whether this wheelchair is suitable for the actual environment in which the wheelchair will be used. ƽ WARNING DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles greater than 2-3/8 inches (60mm). Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair. Always stop before climbing an obstacle. Approach slowly until casters contact the obstacle. Apply power and the action of the SureStep feature will lift the casters over the obstacle. Weight is transferred to the drive wheels providing traction and motor strength to power the wheelchair over the obstacle. CAUTION Be aware of the condition of the ramp. Traction will be diminished/nonexistent on a slippery surface. Proceed with caution.  For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 1. Do not go down a ramp at full speed. Some seat/ back positions will cause the wheelchair to feel unstable. Bump/Threshold FIGURE 1 Coping with Everyday Obstacles Part No 1149267 23 Invacare® TDX® SC, Invacare TDX Spree

Coping with Everyday Obstacles
Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be somewhat alleviated by learning how to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center
of gravity to maintain stability and balance.
While the wheelchair is designed for use primarily in and around the home, the provider should determine whether this wheelchair is suitable for the
actual environment in which the wheelchair will be used.

WARNING
DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles greater than 2-3/8 inches (60mm). Doing so may cause your wheelchair
to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair. Always stop before climbing an obstacle. Approach slowly
until casters contact the obstacle. Apply power and the action of the SureStep feature will lift the casters over the obstacle.
Weight is transferred to the drive wheels providing traction and motor strength to power the wheelchair over the
obstacle.
CAUTION
Be aware of the condition of the ramp. Traction will be diminished/nonexistent on a slippery surface. Proceed with caution.
For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 1.
Do not go down a ramp at full speed. Some seat/
back positions will cause the wheelchair to feel
unstable.
