Invacare® TDX® SP2 Series CAUTION! Risk of Injury or Damage There is a risk of falling out of the mobility device if obstacles are not approached correctly. There is also a risk of damage to the mobility device, such as broken casters. - Never approach obstacles that are higher than the maximum climbable obstacle height. - Never let the footrest/legrest touch the ground when descending an obstacle. - If unsure whether taking an obstacle is possible or not, move away from the obstacle and if possible find another location. 2.4.3 The Correct Way to Approach Obstacles The following instructions for approaching obstacles also apply to attendants if the mobility device is equipped with an attendant control. 3. Stop in the following position: 2-4 inches (5 - 10 cm) before the obstacle. 4. Check the position of the front wheels. They must be in driving direction and at right angles to the obstacle. 5. Approach slowly and keep at a consistent speed until the rear wheels have also passed over the obstacle. Descending (Going Down) Obstacles The approach to descend an obstacle is the same as to ascend it, with the difference that you do not need to stop before descending. 1. Descend the obstacle with medium speed. Descending an obstacle too slowly could cause the antitippers to get stuck and lift the drive wheels off the ground. Driving the mobility device is then no longer possible. Fig. 2-1 Right Fig. 2-2 Wrong Ascending (Going Up) Obstacles 1. Move the backrest into an upright position and lower the seat to the lowest position using the powered seating functions, if equipped. 2. Approach the obstacle or the curb slowly, head-on and at a right angle (or 90°) to the obstacle. 20 60101877-B
