ACCESSORIES 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.
WARNING
DO NOT use the pad near open flame or while smoking, otherwise, injury may result.
WARNING
Inspect power cord, plug, or air hoses of the Invacare APP Alternating Pressure Pump for breaks, tears, or kinks. If damage is found, DO NOT use.
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from
any plug used with or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with threeprong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a twoprong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of
the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle
replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the
National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use only a three-wire
extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected.
Ensure that the pad is brought up to room temperature before unfolding.
DO NOT place hot objects such as heating pads on top of the pad. This may weaken
the pad material and may cause injury.
Use extreme care when handling sharp objects such as needles near the pad.
WARNING
The pad has a weight limitation of 250 lbs (114 kg).
NOTE: Check ALL parts for shipping damage. If shipping damage is noted, DO NOT use.
