SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over. DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur. Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the power is off and the wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving. DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release levers until the power is in the off position. Invacare strongly recommends proceeding down ramps or slopes at half speed or slower and to avoid hard braking or sudden stops. DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by lifting on 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. ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt MUST be replaced immediately. Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that the ON/OFF switch on the joystick is in the off position. Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result. DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks/clutches until the power is in the OFF position. DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°. DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film. DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the chair. DO NOT leave the power button in the on position when entering or exiting your wheelchair. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair. DO NOT use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position or swing footrests towards the outside of the chair. Anti-tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or gravel surfaces, anti-tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tipover. Extra caution must be observed when traversing such surfaces.
