SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES WARNING SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES 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 castors parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving. DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Weight Training Invacare DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training apparatus. Invacare wheelchairs have not been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight training.

Use this information only as a “basic” guide.
SECTION 2—SAFE HANDLING Percentage of Weight Distribution WARNING DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees. The position of the footrest, camber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery Center of Gravity as well as the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchair's stability. Any change to one or any combination of the five may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability.
SECTION 2—SAFE HANDLING Reaching, Leaning, and Bending Forward Reaching, Leaning, and Bending Backwards Tipping WARNING DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance. DO NOT let the wheelchair drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to the occupant. When tipping the wheelchair, an assistant should grasp the back of the wheelchair on a non‐removable (non‐detachable) part. Inform the wheelchair occupant before tilting the wheelchair and remind him/her to lean back.
SECTION 2—SAFE HANDLING Stairways WARNING Concerning stairway access: Invacare does not recommend that wheelchairs be transported up or down stairways with occupant in the wheelchair. Possible injury to occupant and/or assistant(s) can occur. Transfer to an everyday use wheelchair is recommended. DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts.
