SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES To maintain the stability of the wheelchair when moving the wheels to any position, the amount of tilt MUST be limited by adjusting the limit stops on the gas cylinders to prevent the wheelchair from tipping onto the anti-tippers. Operating Information Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied. To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair. The necessary back angle (90°, 99°, 108° or 120°) MUST be selected before repositioning the wheels and adjusting the limit stops on the gas cylinders. Both gas cylinders MUST be operational before using the wheelchair. DO NOT operate the tilt-in-space if only one of the gas cylinders is operational. DO NOT operate the tilt-in-space if the trigger release levers and cables are not properly adjusted to ensure that the tilt-in-space is locked in place when engaged. ALWAYS verify the user's hand position prior to activating the tilt-in-space feature. DO NOT remove the side shrouds (see below) which cover the tilt mechanism. Failure to observe this warning can result in serious injury. Side Shroud for Wheelchairs with Dual Point Arms Side Shroud for Wheelchairs with T-Arms ALWAYS wear your seat/chest positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat/chest positioning strap is an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat/chest positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat/chest positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to the user or bystanders. If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure that the handgrips DO NOT twist on the handle. Otherwise, damage or injury may occur. DO NOT traverse, climb or go down ramps or slopes greater than 9°. NEVER leave the occupied wheelchair unattended at any time, especially on an incline. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
