Tire Pressure - Invacare Patriot Manuel De L'utilisateur Et D'entretien

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
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. When transferring to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS engage both
wheel locks.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT 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
tip over and cause bodily harm to the user and/or assistant or damage to the wheelchair.
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
and/or assistant or damage to the wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the
frame tubing.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
DO NOT or use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair,
make sure that the footplates are in the upward position or swing footrests towards the
outside of the chair.
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.
ALWAYS wear your seat and/or chest positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat and/or chest
positioning strap is an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat
and/or chest positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat and/or
chest positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the wheelchair user.
ALWAYS engage both wheel locks and reduce the gap distance BEFORE transferring to
and from the wheelchair. Turn all casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto.
ALWAYS verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when an
assistant is used to propel or lift the chair. Check for any signs of looseness or
deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician. DO NOT attempt to move the
wheelchair by pulling on the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure or have
deteriorated.
ALWAYS use 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.

TIRE PRESSURE

DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (p.s.i.). DO NOT
overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and
cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.
