WHEELCHAIR USER
As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of wheelchairs to
meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair to be used
by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making
such a selection.
WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS
Wheelchair users should NOT be transported in vehicles of any kind while in wheelchairs. As of
this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for
transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.
It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating
in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto
industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any wheelchair transportation systems.
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 strap 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,
strap MUST be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
With regards to seat/chest positioning straps - it is the obligation of the DME dealer, therapists
and other healthcare professionals to determine if a seat/chest positioning strap is required to
ensure the safe operation of this equipment by the user. Serious injury can occur in the event of
a fall from a wheelchair.

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool water. 
Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions will result in the 
hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this warning may result in injury to the user 
or bystanders.
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or 
becomes wet, prior to use, ensure that the handgrips do not twist on the handle. Otherwise, damage or 
injury may occur.
DO NOT traverse, climb or go down ramps or slopes greater than 9°.
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT attempt to ride over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to tip over and 
cause bodily harm to you or damage to the wheelchair.
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 direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may 
tip over.
DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with wheel locks. Wheel locks are not brakes.
DO NOT tip 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. When transferring 
to and from the wheelchair, ALWAYS engage both wheel locks.
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any 
removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the 
wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT use the footplate as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the 
footplates are in the upward position.
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. 
Make sure detent balls of the quick‐release pin are fully released before operating the wheelchair. 
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.
The detent balls MUST be protruding past the top of the seat plate assembly for a positive lock.
Keep detent balls clean.

SECTION 2—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

SECTION 2—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS
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

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.
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.

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 tipping the wheelchair or traversing curbs, or other impediments.
DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) 
parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair.
If the wheelchair is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior 
to use, ensure handgrips do not twist on the wheelchair’s handle ‐ otherwise damage or injury may occur.
Also, be aware of detachable parts such as armrests or legrests. These MUST NEVER be used to move the wheelchair or as 
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.

SECTION 2—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

 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 size/position of the front casters, size/position of the rear wheels, use of anti-tipper model, as
well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one or any
combination of the six may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. These adjustments MUST
be performed by a qualified technician.
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.

Reaching, Leaning and Bending Forward
 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.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 2.1.
Position the front casters so that they are extended as far 
forward as possible and engage wheel locks.

FIGURE 2.1 Reaching, Leaning and Bending Forward

Reaching and Leaning Backwards
 WARNING

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may
cause the wheelchair to tip over.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 2.2.
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.

FIGURE 2.2 Reaching and Leaning Backwards

Tipping
 WARNING

DO NOT tip the wheelchair without assistance.

Tracer® EX2

Part No. 1110546

SECTION 2—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS
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
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 2.3.
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 and the front casters clear the curb. At this point, the assistant will feel a difference in the weight 
distribution.

 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.
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.

Step Tube

FIGURE 2.3 Method 1 - Wheelchair With Step Tubes

Method 2 - Wheelchair Without Step Tubes

 WARNING

ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose and/or worn,
replace IMMEDIATELY.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 2.4.
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.

FIGURE 2.4 Method 2 - Wheelchair Without 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.

SECTION 2—SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS
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.

Escalators
 WARNING

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

Stairways
 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. 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.
DO NOT attempt to lift a wheelchair by lifting on any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by
means of any removable (detachable) parts of the wheelchair may result in injury to the user or
damage to the wheelchair.
ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the wheelchair. If loose and/or worn,
replace IMMEDIATELY.
Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an occupied 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.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 2.5.
Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair between 
floors when an elevator is not available:
1.

If necessary, rotate the anti‐tippers so the wheels 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 
non‐detachable part of the framework, lifts the 
wheelchair up and over the stair and steadies the 
wheelchair as the first assistant places one foot on the 
next stair and repeats STEP 1.

4.

The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last 
stair has been negotiated and the wheelchair has been 
rolled away from the stairway.

5.

If necessary, rotate the anti‐tippers so the wheels are 
facing down.

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. 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
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.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 2.6.
NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided 
you have adequate mobility and upper body strength.
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.

Periodically adjust wheel locks in correlation to tire wear. Refer to Adjusting Patient Operated Wheel Locks on page 36.

4.

Periodically check handrims to ensure they are secured to the rear wheels. If loose, have them tightened by a qualified 
technician.

5.

Periodically check caster wheel bearings to make sure they are clean and free from moisture. Use a Teflon™ lubricant if 
necessary.

WARNING
When cleaning rear cane or hand grip areas use only a clean towel lightly dampened with cool
water. Verify that grips are dry prior to use. Use of soap or ammonia based cleaning solutions
will result in the hand grips sliding off the cane assembly. Failure to observe this warning may
result in injury to the user or bystanders.
6.

Hand grips should be checked monthly for wear/looseness/deterioration. Clean if desired. Replace if looseness or 
deterioration is found.

Installing/Adjusting Anti-tippers
 WARNING
Anti-tippers are specific to the different seat-to-floor heights. Refer to the chart in this section of
the manual for correct usage and adjustment. If these requirements cannot be achieved, DO
NOT use the wheelchair. Contact a qualified technician. If changing the seat-to-floor height, the
correct anti-tippers MUST be used to maintain a 11/2 to 2 inch ground clearance.
If so equipped, 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 a safeguard for the wheelchair user.
Anti-tippers MUST be fully engaged and release buttons fully protruding out of adjustment holes.
ALWAYS use anti-tippers. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces, anti tippers
may not provide the same level of protection against tipover. Extra caution MUST be observed
when traversing such surfaces.
Ensure both anti-tippers are adjusted to the same mounting hole.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 9.1 on page 34 and FIGURE 9.2 on page 35.
