WARNING
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.
Anti-tippers MUST be used at all times. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces, anti-tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tip over. Extra caution MUST be observed when traversing such surfaces.
Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustments should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied. ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the SEAT POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (You may order
with or without the seat positioning strap), Invacare Top End strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
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. SERIOUS INJURY CAN OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF A FALL FROM THE PRODUCT.
Because Top End wheelchairs are made to the specification of the original owner, it is unlikely that refurbished product would be suitable to the another user’s needs.
ALWAYS use the handrims for self-propulsion. Inasmuch as the handrims are an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the handrims), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the handrims as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform when getting in or out of the wheelchair. Ensure the occupant’s legs and feet are properly secured during use. When transferring the occupant, ensure the feet do not slip between
the tubes on the footrest.

Replacement of the tire or tube MUST be performed by a qualified technician.
Weight Training

3.7 Percentage of Weight Distribution
Many activities require the wheelchair owner to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These movements will cause a change to the normal balance, the center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the wheelchair.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified health-care professional before attempting active use of wheelchair.
Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning, bending forward, it is important to use the front casters as a tool to maintain stability and balance.
Lengthening the wheelbase will increase the stability and maintain standard maneuverability of wheelchair.
Shortening the wheelbase will decrease the stability, increase the maneuverability and distribute additional weight onto the rear wheels.
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 position of the footrest, camber tube, back angle, the tautness of the back upholstery as well as the user's condition are directly related to the wheelchair's stability. Any change to one or any combination of the five may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use EXTREME caution when using a new seating position. The addition of anti-tippers may be required.

3.11 Tipping - Curbs
After mastering the techniques of tipping the wheelchair, use the following method to tackle curbs, short stairs, etc. Turn the anti-tippers, if equipped, so the wheels are facing up. Unless the first assistant has exceptional upper body strength, it is recommended that two
assistants perform this operation. 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 wheelchair 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. The wheelchair 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.
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 wheels are facing down.
WARNING
Invacare does not recommend that sport wheelchairs be used where traversing curbs present an obstacle. Possible injury to occupant and/or assistant(s) can occur. Transfer to an everyday use wheelchair is recommended if any such obstacles may be encountered.
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.
