Safety Summary
Toensurethesafeinstalla tion,operationanduseoftheseat,theseins tructionsMUSTbe followed:
WARNING
DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading and
understanding these instructions and any additional instructional material such as owner’s manuals,
service manuals or instruction sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment. if you are
unable to understand the warnings, cautions or instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer
or technical personnel before attempting to use this equipment - otherwise, injury or damage may
occur
.
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is
tightened securely. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
If the seat and/or back does not fit the user properly, DO NOT use. Contact Invacare for proper
instruction, otherwise injury to the user may occur.
The best way to avoid problems related to pressure sores is to understand their causes and your role
in a skin management program.
Your therapist and physician should be consulted if you have any questions regarding weight relief,
self-examination of skin, or individual limitations and needs.
All cushions used for the prevention or treatment of decubitus ulcers (pressure sores) should be
selected carefully. Working with your therapist, physician and cushion supplier is the best way to
assure that a cushion choice matches your individual needs.
As the needs of the client become more complex, the cushion evaluation becomes more important.
Skin condition should be checked very frequently after the provision of any new seating system.
With regard to seat/chest positioning straps – it is the obligation of the DME dealer, therapists and
other healthcare professionals to determine if a seat/chest positioning strap is required to ensure the
safe operation of this equipment by the user. Serious injury can occur in the event of a fall from a
wheelchair.
Stabilize from the ground up. A stable base, pelvis and footrests are requirements for any torso
positioning system.
The position of back angle, rear wheels, seat depth and wheel locks are directly related to wheelchair
stability. Any change to one or any combination of the four may cause the wheelchair to decrease in
stability. Use extreme caution when using a new seating position.
ALWAYS make sure wheelchair is stable before reclining the back system. Refer to the Owner’s
Manual provided with the wheelchair.
To maintain the stability of the wheelchair when moving the rear wheels to ANY forward position,
the amount of recline MUST be limited to prevent the wheelchair from tipping onto the anti-tippers.
The necessary back angle MUST be selected before repositioning rear wheels forward.
ACCESSORIES WARNING
Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with
Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by
