SECTION 1 GENERAL GUIDELINES GENERAL GUIDELINES OPERATING INFORMATION GENERAL WARNINGS To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified health professional BEFORE attempting active use of the wheelchair. Make sure back is locked securely BEFORE using wheelchair - otherwise injury may occur. DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat rails are fully seated into the seat clamps. 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. DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you 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 tilt the wheelchair without assistance. DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur. Mounting the front casters on the inside of the wheelchair frame WILL reduce the stability of the wheelchair. Try various front caster positions to find the safest front caster position for your needs. WHEEL LOCKS ARE NOT BRAKES. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks. Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters toward the object you are transferring onto. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS ENGAGE BOTH WHEEL LOCKS. DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless it is fully open and the seat rails are fully seated into the seat clamps. DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9o. 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. DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare. DO NOT attempt to lift or tilt a wheelchair by using 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.
