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 setup, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to  
the specifications entered during the setup procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT  
perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair Off immediately and reenter setup  
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 lockout 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 lockout. 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 lockout switch, recline the seat back  
to the farthest driving position immediately before drive lockout 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 lockout 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 lockout 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 lockout is activated. This may affect the  
wheelchair users 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.  
NOTE: Refer to Typical Product Parameters on page 7 for recline angle ranges.

provides the end user or his/her assistant sufficient time to remove his/her power  
wheelchair from a rain storm and retain wheelchair operation.  
DO NOT leave power wheelchair in a rain storm of any kind.  
DO NOT use power wheelchair in a shower.  
DO NOT store power wheelchair in a damp area for an extended period of time.  
Direct exposure to excessive rain or dampness may cause the wheelchair to malfunction  
electrically and mechanically, may cause the wheelchair to prematurely rust or may  
damage the upholstery.

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.
