2 SAFETY Stability Lock The stability lock feature is designed to operate and keep the wheelchair stable when in motion. The stability lock is not designed to operate while the wheelchair is at rest, such as during transfers in and out of the wheelchair. DO NOT assume that the stability lock feature is operating when the wheelchair is not moving. 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 3 inches. 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 front anti-tip wheels are approximately 18 inches away from the obstacle. Slowly apply power to move forward, 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 1143190 21 Invacare® TDX®SP, TDX SR
