WARNING
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.
Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward
position.
ALWAYS use the handrims for self-propulsion. Inasmuch as the handrims are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with our
without the handrims), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the handrims as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Invacare recommends that a non-folding device be installed to keep the wheelchair from being folded when left unoccupied in a public
place.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.

WARNING
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose and/or worn, replace IMMEDIATELY.
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use.
Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this warning
may result in injury to the user or bystanders.
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use,
ensure that the handgrips DO NOT twist on the handle. Otherwise, damage or injury may occur.
