3.3 Safety/Handling of Wheelchairs  
Safety and handling of the wheelchair require 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 heeded. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and assistant  
with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.  
Stability and Balance  
WARNING  
ƽ
The seat depth, back height/angle, seat angle, size/position of the front casters, seat-to-floor angle, position of the rear wheels, correct  
anti-tipper as well as the end user’s disability or end user’s physical condition and capabilities directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair.  
Any change to one or any combination may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST be performed by a  
qualified technician.  
Seat-to-floor heights have specific positions depending on rear wheel size, rear wheel position, front caster size/position and seat-to-floor  
angle. These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician.  
Be aware that carrying heavy objects on your lap while occupying the wheelchair may adversely affect the stability of the wheelchair,  
resulting in serious bodily injury to the user, damage to the wheelchair and surrounding property.  
This wheelchair has been designed to accommodate one individual. If more than one individual occupies the wheelchair this may adversely  
affect the stability of the wheelchair, resulting in serious bodily injury to the user, damage to the wheelchair and surrounding property.  
(Recliner Models Only)  
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the recliner option.  
ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair.  
ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (sitting up) the wheelchair.  
ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair.

To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you MUST maintain proper balance at all times. Your 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/chest positioning  
straps for additional safety while involved in activities that shift your weight.  
DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests. Make sure the 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.  
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 healthcare professional before attempting active use of the wheelchair.  
Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning, or bending forward, it is important to use the front casters as a tool to maintain stability  
and balance.

3 SAFETY  
Reaching, Leaning and Bending Forward or Sideways  
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.  
ƽ
DO NOT attempt to reach or lift objects that would  
cause you to shift weight to one side of the wheelchair.  
Reaching or lifting objects on the side of the wheelchair  
can cause the chair to tip over sideways.  
DO NOT lean over the tope of the back upholstery to  
reach objects behind you, as this may cause the  
wheelchair to tip over.  
Forward  
FIGURE 1 Percentage of Weight Distribution  
Position the front casters so that they are extended as far forward as  
possible and engage wheel locks.  
Backwards  
Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Point front  
casters forward to create the longest possible wheelbase. Reach back  
only as far as your arm will extend without changing your sitting position.

3 SAFETY  
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.  
Tipping  
WARNING  
DO NOT tip 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.  
ƽ
When tipping the wheelchair, an assistant should grasp the back of the wheelchair on a non-removable (non-detachable) part. Inform the wheelchair occupant  
before tipping the wheelchair and remind him/her to lean back. Be sure the occupant’s feet and hands are clear of all wheels and/or pinch points.  
After mastering the techniques of tipping the wheelchair, use one of the following methods to tackle curbs, short stairs, etc.  
Method 1 - Wheelchair With Step Tubes  
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.  
ƽ
Place foot on the step tube and begin to tilt the wheelchair toward you.  
Apply a continuous downward motion until the balance point is achieved  
Step Tube  
and the front casters clear the curb. At this point, the assistant will feel a  
difference in the weight distribution.  
FIGURE 3 Method 1 - Wheelchair With Step Tubes  
Roll the wheelchair forward and slowly lower the front of the wheelchair in  
one continuous movement onto the sidewalk. Push the wheelchair forward  
until the rear wheels roll up and over the curb.  
22  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
3 SAFETY  
Method 2 - Wheelchair Without Step Tubes  
This method requires two assistants. 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. Turn the anti-tippers so the  
anti-tip wheels are pointing up. 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. Turn the anti-tippers so the anti-tip wheels are  
facing down.  
Stairways  
WARNING  
ƽ
Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied or unoccupied wheelchair up or down the stairs. Invacare  
recommends that, if possible, the user be removed from the wheelchair prior to moving. Invacare recommends using two  
assistants and making thorough preparations. Make sure to use only secure, non-detachable parts for hand-held supports.  
Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair between floors when an elevator is not available:

2. One assistant (positioned behind the wheelchair), securely grasps a non-removable (non-detachable) part of the wheelchair for leverage and tilts the  
wheelchair back to the balance point.  
3. After the wheelchair has been tilted back to the balance point, the assistant behind the wheelchair backs the wheelchair up against the first step.  
4. The second assistant (positioned in the front of the wheelchair), with a firm hold on a non-detachable part of the framework, lifts the wheelchair up and  
on to the next stair above and steadies the wheelchair as the assistant behind the wheelchair places one foot on the next stair above and repeats process.  
5. The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last stair has been negotiated and the wheelchair has been rolled away from the stairway.  
6. If necessary, rotate the anti-tippers so the wheels are facing down.  
Moving Down Stairs  
1. If necessary, rotate the anti-tippers so the wheels are facing up.  
2. One assistant (positioned behind the wheelchair), securely grasps a  
non-removable (non-detachable) part of the wheelchair for  
leverage and tilts the wheelchair back to the balance point.  
3. After the wheelchair has been tilted back to the balance point, the  
assistant behind the wheelchair rolls the wheelchair up to the edge of

Escalators  
WARNING  
ƽ
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.  
3.4 Transferring To and From Other Seats  
WARNING  
ƽ
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 help prevent the wheels from moving.  
CAUTION  
ƽ
When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will help prevent damaged upholstery and the possibility of  
the wheelchair tipping forward.  
Position the wheelchair as close as possible alongside the seat to which  
you are transferring, with the front casters pointing parallel to it.  
Remove or flip up the armrest. Engage wheel locks. Swing away or  
remove front rigging. 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.  
This activity may be performed independently provided  
you have adequate mobility and upper body strength.
