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. DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you as this may cause

the wheelchair to tip over. DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheel-

chair may tip over. DO NOT tilt the wheelchair without assistance. DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur . 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 wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving.

GENERAL GUIDELINESPROCEDURE 1

WARNING

DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.

E N E R A

I D E L

I N E S

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9 DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film. DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn

over and cause bodily harm or damage to the wheelchair. DO NOT use ANY parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare. DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of

any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.

Invacare DOES NOT recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training apparatus. Invacare wheelchairs have NOT been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight training apparatus, Invacare shall NOT be liable for bodily injury and the warranty is void.

WEIGHT LIMIT A TION Invacare's Top End Terminator JR wheelchair has a weight limitation of 150 lbs.

SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

“Safety and Handling” of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the wheelchair user as well as the assistant. This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the wheelchair. It is important to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering around the frequently encountered architectural barriers.

Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed on the following pages have been used successfully by many.

Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual 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 followed. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and assistant with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.

GENERAL GUIDELINES PROCEDURE 1

Stability and Balance

WARNING

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 strongly recommends ordering the seat 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 balance. Y our wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and stable during normal daily activities as long as you do not move beyond the center of gravity.

Virtually all activities which involve movement in the wheelchair have an effect on the center of gravity. Invacare recommends using seat positioning straps for additional safety while involved in activities that shift your weight.

DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than stability will allow. Make sure casters are pointing in the forward position whenever you lean forward. This can be achieved by advancing the wheelchair and then reversing it in a straight line.

Percentage of Weight Distribution

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.

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.

Center of Gravity

L G

I D E L

I N E S

Coping with Everyday Obstacles

Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be alleviated somewhat by learning how to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability and balance.

A Note to Wheelchair Assistants

When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body mechanics. Keep your back straight and bend your knees whenever tilting the wheelchair or traversing curbs, or other impediments.

WARNING

Do not attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.

Also, be aware of any removable (detachable) parts. These must NEVER be used for hand-hold or lifting supports, as they may be inadvertently released, resulting in possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s).

When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced assistant help you before attempting it alone.

Example: 46% 54% 103 lbs. 130 lbs.

UNOCCUPIED OCCUPIED

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 increase the maneuverability, distribute additional weight onto the rear wheels, and decrease the stability of the wheelchair.

Tilting

WARNING

DO NOT tilt the wheelchair without assistance. 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.

When tilting the wheelchair, an assistant should grasp the back of the wheelchair on a non-removable (non-detachable) part. Inform the wheelchair occupant before tilting the wheelchair and remind him/her to lean back. Be sure the occupant’s feet and hands are clear of all wheels.

TILTING - CURBS:

After mastering the techniques of tilting the wheelchair, use this procedure to tackle curbs, short stairs, etc.

METHOD 1 - Apply a continuous downward motion until the balance point is achieved and the front casters clear the curb. At this point, the assistant will feel a difference in the weight distribution.

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.

REACHING, LEANING AND BENDING - FORWARD

Reaching, Leaning - Backwards

WARNING

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.

METHOD 1

Roll the wheelchair forward and slowly lower the front casters onto the sidewalk. Do not let the wheelchair drop the last few inches to the ground. This could result in injury to the occupant. Push the wheelchair forward until the rear wheels roll up and over the curb.

METHOD 2 - This method requires two (2) assistants. The second assistant should be positioned at the front of the wheelchair lifting upward on a non-removable (nondetachable) 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.

WARNING

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 strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.

DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.

Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied wheelchair up or down a stairway. Invacare recommends using two (2) assistants and making thorough preparations. Make sure to use ONLY secure, non-detachable parts for hand-hold supports.

Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair between floors when an elevator is NOT available:

1. Turn the anti-tippers so they are facing UP.

2. After the wheelchair has been tilted back to the balance point, one assistant (in the rear) backs the wheelchair up against the first step, while securely grasping a non-removable (non-detachable) part of the wheelchair for leverage.

3. The second assistant, with a firm hold on a nondetachable part of the framework, lifts the wheelchair up and over the stair and steadies it as the first assistant places one foot on the next stair and repeats procedure.

ESCALA TORS? SORR Y!

DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur .

Transferring to and From Other Seats

WARNING

BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair , every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Tu rn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the wheel locks are engaged to help prevent the wheels from moving.

CAUTION

When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will prevent damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward.

NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and upper body strength.

Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are transferring, with the front casters pointing parallel to it. Engage wheel locks. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.

During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a transfer board if at all possible.
