PROCEDURE 1  
GENERAL GUIDELINES  
SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS  
“Safety and Handling” of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the wheelchair user as  
well as the assistantꢀ This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques  
involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the wheelchairꢀ It is important to practice  
and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering around the  
frequently encountered architectural barriersꢀ  
Use this information only as a “basic” guideꢀ The techniques that are discussed on the follow-  
ing pages have been used successfully by manyꢀ  
Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may  
differ from those described in this manualꢀ 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  
followedꢀ Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and  
assistant with “safety” as the most important consideration for allꢀ  
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&  
Anti-tippers MUST be attached at all times&  
To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times maintain  
proper balanceꢀ 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 gravityꢀ  
Virtually all activities which involve movement in the wheelchair have an effect on the center  
of gravityꢀ Invacare recommends using seat/chest positioning straps for additional safety while  
involved in activities that shift your weightꢀ  
DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrestsꢀ  
Make sure the casters are pointing in the forward position whenever you lean forwardꢀ This  
can be achieved by advancing the wheelchair and then reversing it in a straight lineꢀ  
The Invacare Solara jrꢀ wheelchair should be operated by an assistant when the wheelchair is  
in any tilted positionꢀ  
COPING WITH EVERYDAY OBSTACLES  
Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be alleviated somewhat by learning how to  
manage your wheelchairꢀ Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability and balanceꢀ  
A NOTE TO WHEELCHAIR ASSISTANTS  
When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body mechanicsꢀ  
Keep your back straight and bend your knees whenever tipping the wheelchair or traversing  
curbs, or other impedimentsꢀ
