Stairways
 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.
Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied wheelchair up
or down the stairs. Invacare recommends using two assistants and making thorough
preparations. Make sure to use only secure, non-detachable parts for hand-held
supports.
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.
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.
