WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS  
Invacare recommends that wheelchair users NOT be transported in  
vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs. 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.  
AS REGARDS RESTRAINTS - SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS - IT IS THE  
OBLIGATION OF THE DME DEALER, THERAPISTS AND OTHER  
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO DETERMINE IF A SEATING  
RESTRAINT 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.

NOTE: When changes to the left hand column occur, follow across the chart and refer to the proce-  
dure that is checked (ü) to maintain the proper stability, safety and handling of the wheelchair.  
Seat-to-floor heights have specific positions depending on rear wheel size,  
rear wheel position, front caster size and front caster position. These  
adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.  
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the  
chart in INSTALLING/ADJUSTING THE ANTI-TIPPERS in SECTION 8 of  
this manual for correct usage and adjustment. If these requirements cannot  
be achieved, do not use the wheelchair. Contact a qualified technician.  
If changing the seat-to-floor height the correct anti-tippers MUST be  
ordered to maintain a 1-1/2 to 2-inch ground clearance.  
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged. Ensure that the release button of  
the anti-tipper fully protrudes out of the hole on the bottom of the  
wheelchair frame.  
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same height.  
Anti-tippers MUST BE attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti-tippers  
are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the anti-  
tippers), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the anti-tippers as an  
additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.

GENERAL GUIDELINES  
SECTION 1  
OPERATING INFORMATION  
WARNING  
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed  
while the wheelchair is unoccupied.  
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all  
attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage  
may result.  
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending,  
reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the  
presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active  
use of the wheelchair.

without the handrims), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the  
handrims as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.  
TIRE PRESSURE  
WARNING  
DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure  
(p.s.i.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these instructions  
may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended  
tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.  
Replacement of a pneumatic tire or tube MUST be performed by a  
qualified technician.  
WEIGHT TRAINING  
WARNING  
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. If occupant uses said  
wheelchair as a weight training apparatus, Invacare shall NOT be liable  
for bodily injury and the warranty is void.

GENERAL GUIDELINES  
SECTION 1  
SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS  
“Safety and Handling” of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the wheelchair user  
as well as the assistant. This manual points out the most common procedures and tech-  
niques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the wheelchair. It is important to  
practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering around  
the frequently encountered architectural barriers.  
Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed on the  
following pages have been used successfully by many users.  
Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may  
differ from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each indi-  
vidual to try what works best for him/her in overcoming architectural obstacles that they  
may encounter, however ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be  
followed. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and  
assistant with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.  
STABILITY AND BALANCE  
WARNING  
ALWAYS wear your seat/chest positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT/  
CHEST POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (You may  
order with or without the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap), Invacare strongly  
recommends ordering the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap as an additional  
safeguard for the wheelchair user.  
To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times maintain  
proper balance. Your wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and stable during  
normal daily activities as long as you do not move beyond the center of gravity.  
Virtually all activities which involve movement in the wheelchair have an effect on the center  
of gravity. Invacare recommends using seat/chest positioning straps for additional safety while  
involved in activities that shift your weight.  
DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests.  
Make sure the casters are pointing in the forward position whenever you lean forward. This  
can be achieved by advancing the wheelchair and then reversing it in a straight line.  
COPING WITH EVERYDAY OBSTACLES  
Coping with the challenge of everyday obstacles can be alleviated somewhat by learning how  
to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability and  
balance.  
A NOTE TO WHEELCHAIR ASSISTANTS  
When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body mechanics.  
Keep your back straight and bend your knees whenever tipping the wheelchair or traversing  
curbs, or other impediments.

SECTION 1  
GENERAL GUIDELINES  
WARNING  
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable)  
parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair  
may result in injury to the user and/or assistant or damage to the wheelchair.  
Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when an  
assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or  
deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to  
move the wheelchair by pulling on the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure  
or have deteriorated.  
Also, be aware of detachable parts such as armrests or legrests. These must NEVER be used  
to move the wheelchair or as lifting supports, as they may be inadvertently released, result-  
ing in possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s).  
When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced assistant help you before  
attempting it alone.  
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 size/position of the front casters, size/position of the rear wheels, use  
of anti-tipper model, as well as the user condition directly relate to the  
stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any combination of  
the six (6) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These  
adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.  
Many activities require the wheelchair  
owner to reach, bend and transfer in and  
CENTER OF  
out of the wheelchair. These movements will  
GRAVITY  
cause a change to the normal balance, the  
center of gravity, and the weight distribution  
of the wheelchair. To determine and estab-  
lish your particular safety limits, practice  
bending, reaching and transferring activities  
in several combinations in the presence of a  
qualified healthcare professional BEFORE  
UNOCCUPIED  
OCCUPIED  
attempting active use of the wheelchair.  
Proper positioning is essential for your  
safety. When reaching, leaning, or bending forward, it is important to use the front casters as  
a tool to maintain stability and balance.

the desired object. Point front casters  
forward to create the longest possible  
wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your  
arm will extend without changing your  
sitting position.  
TIPPING  
WARNING  
DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance.  
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 tipping the wheel-  
chair and remind him/her to lean back. Be sure the occupant’s feet and hands are clear of all  
wheels and/or pinch points.  
After mastering the techniques of tipping the wheelchair, use one (1) of the following  
methods to tackle curbs, short stairs, etc.

SECTION 1  
GENERAL GUIDELINES  
TIPPING - CURBS: METHOD 1 - WHEELCHAIR WITH STEP TUBES:  
Place foot on the step tube and begin to tilt the wheelchair toward you. Apply a continu-  
ous downward motion until the balance point is achieved and the front casters clear the  
curb. At this point, the assistant will feel a  
difference in the weight distribution.  
WARNING  
When lowering the front casters of  
the wheelchair, DO NOT let the  
wheelchair drop the last few inches to  
the ground. This could result in injury  
Step Tube  
to the occupant and/or damage to the  
METHOD 1 - WHEELCHAIR WITH  
wheelchair.  
STEP TUBES  
Roll the wheelchair forward and slowly lower the front of the wheelchair in one continuous  
movement onto the sidewalk. Do not let the wheelchair drop the last few inches to the  
ground. This could result in injury to the occupant. Push the wheelchair forward until the  
rear wheels roll up and over the curb.  
TIPPING - CURBS: METHOD 2 - WHEELCHAIR WITHOUT STEP TUBE  
WARNING  
Always verify that hand grips on the  
rear cane are secure PRIOR to use  
when an assistant is used to propel or  
lift the chair. Check for any signs of  
looseness or deterioration and if  
found, contact a qualified technician.  
DO NOT attempt to move the  
wheelchair by pulling on the hand  
grips if they are found to be unsecure  
or have deteriorated.  
METHOD 2 - WHEELCHAIR  
WITHOUT STEP TUBE  
This method requires two (2) assistants. The second assistant should be positioned at the  
front of the wheelchair lifting upward on a non-removable (non-detachable) part of the  
wheelchair frame when lifting the wheelchair and stabilizing the wheelchair when the wheel-  
chair is being lowered to the ground.  
The first assistant should stand on the sidewalk and turn the wheelchair so that the rear wheels  
are against the curb. Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are pointing up. The wheel-  
chair should be tilted back to the balance point and, in one continuous upward movement, the  
rear wheels should be pulled up and over the curb. DO NOT return the front casters to the  
ground until the wheelchair has been pulled backward far enough for the front casters to clear  
the edge of the curb.  
WARNING  
When lowering the front casters of the wheelchair, DO NOT let the  
wheelchair drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to  
the occupant and/or damage to the wheelchair.  
Roll the wheelchair backward and SLOWLY lower the wheelchair in one continuous movement.  
DO NOT let the wheelchair drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to the  
occupant. Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are facing down.

GENERAL GUIDELINES  
SECTION 1  
STAIRWAYS  
WARNING  
ALWAYS wear your seat/chest positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT/  
CHEST POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (You may  
order with or without the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap), Invacare strongly  
recommends ordering the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap as an additional  
safeguard for the wheelchair user.  
DO NOT attempt to lift a 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 and/or assisstant or damage to  
the wheelchair.  
Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when  
an assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness  
or deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT  
attempt to move the wheelchair by pulling on the hand grips if they are  
found to be unsecure or have deteriorated.  
EXTREME CAUTION is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied  
wheelchair up or down the stairs. Invacare recommends that, if possible, the  
user be removed from the wheelchair prior to moving. Invacare  
recommends using two (2) assistants and making thorough preparations.  
Make sure to use ONLY secure, non-detachable parts for hand-held  
supports.  
Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair between floors when an eleva-  
tor is NOT available:  
1. If necessary, rotate the anti-tippers so the wheels are facing up.  
2. After the wheelchair has been tilted back to the balance point, one assistant (in the rear)  
backs the wheelchair up against the first step, while securely grasping a non-removable  
(non-detachable) part of the wheelchair for leverage.  
3. The second assistant, with a firm hold on a non-detachable part of the framework, lifts  
the wheelchair up and over the stair and steadies the wheelchair as the first assistant  
places one (1) foot on the next stair and repeats STEP 1.  
4. The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last stair has been negotiated and the  
wheelchair has been rolled away from the stairway.  
5. If necessary, rotate the anti-tippers so the wheels are facing down.
