WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of
wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the
type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her
healthcare professional capable of making such a selection. Invacare highly
recommends working with a certified rehab technology supplier and/or a member
of NRRTS or RESNA.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS
As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down
systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any
type. It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into
appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints
made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any
wheelchair transportation systems.
ꢀ 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 Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
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.
Wheelchairs should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (water
exposure, incontinence, etc.). Electrical components damaged by corrosion should
be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
Wheelchairs that are used by incontinent users and/or are frequently exposed to
water may require replacement of electrical components more frequently.

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.
Controller Settings/Repair or Service
DO NOT service or adjust your wheelchair while occupied, unless otherwise noted.
Wheelchairs should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (water
exposure, incontinence, etc.). Electrical components damaged by corrosion should be
replaced immediately.
Wheelchairs that are used by incontinent users and/or are frequently exposed to water
may require replacement of electrical components more frequently.
Operation Information
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or
persons fully conversant with this process and the driverʹs capabilities. Incorrect settings
could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the wheelchair and to
surrounding property.
After the wheelchair has been set‐up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to
the specifications entered during the set‐up procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT
perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair Off immediately and reenter set‐up
specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.
ALWAYS shift your weight in the direction you are turning. DO NOT shift your weight
in the opposite direction of the turn. Shifting your weight in the opposite direction of the
turn may cause the inside drive wheel to lose traction and the wheelchair to tip over.
DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed. Failure
to observe this warning can cause the wheelchair to tip over and may result in injury to
users, bystanders and/or damage to product.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the
wheelchair may tip over.
DO determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching
and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before
attempting active use of the wheelchair.
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.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may
cause the wheelchair to tip over.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
DO NOT store items under seat ‐ interference with seat latch may result.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may
occur.
DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release levers until the power is in the Off
position.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not
brakes.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°.
NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair on an incline.
Invacare strongly recommends proceeding down ramps or slopes at half speed or slower
and to avoid hard braking or sudden stops.
DO NOT leave elevating legrests in the fully extended position when proceeding down
ramps or slopes.
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 wheelchair.
DO NOT leave the power button in the On position when entering or exiting your
wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by
means of any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the
user or damage to the wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the footplates/footboard. When getting in or out of the wheelchair,
make sure that the footboard or footplates are in the upward position or swing the
footrests towards the outside of the wheelchair.
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 wheel locks are engaged to prevent
the wheels from moving.
When determining the depth of the telescoping front frame tubes, make sure the rear of
the footrests do not interfere with the movement of the front casters. Otherwise damage
to the wheelchair may result or may impede proper operation.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off switch on
the joystick is in the Off position.
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.
With regards 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.
Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious
injury or damage to property may result.
A Note About Drive Lock-Out
NEVER operate the wheelchair while the back is in any reclined/back angle position over
20° relative to the vertical position. If the drive lock‐out does not stop the wheelchair from
operating in a recline/back angle position over 20° relative to the vertical position, DO
NOT operate the wheelchair. DO NOT attempt to adjust the drive lock‐out. Have the
wheelchair serviced by a qualified technician.
The wheelchair user MUST have a clear line of sight to drive safely. On initial chair
delivery and after adjusting the back angle or drive lock‐out switch, recline the seat back
to the farthest driving position immediately before drive lock‐out engages and ensure
there is a clear line of sight present in which to drive the wheelchair. If a clear line of sight
is not present, have the back angle repositioned or readjust the lockout angle such that
safe driving with a clear line of sight is achieved. Otherwise injury or damage may occur.
One of the following will occur when the drive lock‐out feature has been activated:
• ꢀ TILT WARNING displays on the joystick or display unit.
• ꢀ SPM Inhibited displays on the joystick or display unit.
• SPJ+ joysticks Only ‐ Left to right chase alternating with a steady display.
Drive lock‐out is a feature designed to prevent the wheelchair from being driven after the
seating system has been reclined beyond 20°* relative to the vertical position. The back
can be positioned at a 10° relative offset to the seat base, thereby resulting in a back angle
potential of 30° before which the drive lock‐out is activated. This may affect the
wheelchair user’s line of sight while driving. Make sure the wheelchair user can see
properly to ensure safe driving.
*NOTE: 20° back angle can be any combination of recline, back angle and/or surface angle.

LIMITED WARRANTY
PLEASE NOTE: THE WARRANTY BELOW HAS BEEN DRAFTED TO COMPLY WITH FEDERAL LAW
APPLICABLE TO PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED AFTER JULY 4, 1975.
This warranty is extended only to the original purchaser who purchases this product when new and
unused from Invacare or a dealer. This warranty is not extended to any other person or entity and is
not transferable or assignable to any subsequent purchaser or owner. Coverage under this warranty
will end upon any such subsequent sale or other transfer of title to any other person.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other legal rights which vary from
state to state.
Invacare warrants the seat frame to be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of
three (3) years from the date of purchase from Invacare or a dealer, with a copy of the seller’s invoice
required for coverage under this warranty. Invacare warrants all remaining components (excluding all
upholstered materials and padded materials) for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase
from Invacare or a dealer, with a copy of the seller’s invoice required for coverage under this warranty.
If within such warranty periods any such product component shall be proven to be defective, the
product component shall be repaired or replaced, at Invacare's option. This warranty does not include
any labor or shipping charges incurred in replacement part installation or repair of any such product.
Invacare's sole obligation and your exclusive remedy under this warranty shall be limited to such repair
and/or replacement.
For warranty service, please contact the dealer from whom you purchased your Invacare product. In
the event you do not receive satisfactory warranty service, please write directly to Invacare at the
address on the bottom of the back cover. Provide dealer's name address, date of purchase, indicate
nature of the defect and, if the product is serialized, indicate the serial number. Do not return products
to our factory without our prior consent.
LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS: THE FOREGOING WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO
SERIAL NUMBERED PRODUCTS IF THE SERIAL NUMBER HAS BEEN REMOVED OR DEFACED,
PRODUCTS SUBJECT TO NEGLIGENCE, ACCIDENT, IMPROPER OPERATION, MAINTENANCE
OR STORAGE, COMMERCIAL OR INSTITUTIONAL USE, PRODUCTS MODIFIED WITHOUT
INVACARE'S EXPRESS WRITTEN CONSENT (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
MODIFICATION THROUGH THE USE OF UNAUTHORIZED PARTS OR ATTACHMENTS);
PRODUCTS DAMAGED BY REASON OF REPAIRS MADE TO ANY COMPONENT WITHOUT
THE SPECIFIC CONSENT OF INVACARE, OR TO A PRODUCT DAMAGED BY
CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND INVACARE'S CONTROL, AND SUCH EVALUATION WILL BE
SOLELY DETERMINED BY INVACARE. THE WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO PROBLEMS
ARISING FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OR FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THE PRODUCT
INSTRUCTIONS. A CHANGE IN OPERATING NOISE, PARTICULARLY RELATIVE TO MOTORS
AND GEARBOXES DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FAILURE OR DEFECT AND WILL NOT BE
REPAIRED; ALL DEVICES WILL EXHIBIT CHANGES IN OPERATING NOISE DUE TO AGING.
THE FOREGOING EXPRESS WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER
WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND
THE SOLE REMEDY FOR VIOLATIONS OF ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, SHALL BE
LIMITED TO REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT PURSUANT TO THE
TERMS CONTAINED HEREIN. THE APPLICATION OF ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY
WHATSOEVER SHALL NOT EXTEND BEYOND THE DURATION OF THE EXPRESS
WARRANTY PROVIDED HEREIN AND INVACARE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER; SOME STATES DO NOT
ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE,
OR LIMITATION OF HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE
EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE.
THIS WARRANTY SHALL BE EXTENDED TO COMPLY WITH STATE/PROVINCIAL LAWS AND
REQUIREMENTS.
