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

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.

Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the Jymni Recliner.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

FIGURE 4 Method 2 - Wheelchair Without Step Tubes

Stairways

WARNING

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.

Escalators

WARNING

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

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.

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.

Maintenance Safety Precautions

WARNING

After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise injury or

damage may result.

DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing.

Suggested Maintenance Procedures

1. Before using your Jymni Series wheelchair, make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.

2. Check all parts for damage or wear and replace.

3. Check all parts for proper adjustment.

4. Standard and Light Weight Models ONLY - Keep quick-release axles free of dirt and lint to ensure positive locking and proper operation. Refer

to Adjusting the Quick-Release Axle on page 50.

5. Oil quick-release axles at least once a month (3-in-1 oil or equivalent).

WARNING

DO NOT use the 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 sidewall of the tire.

CAUTION

As with any vehicle, check the wheels and tires periodically for cracks and wear. Replace if damaged. Refer to Replacing/Repairing Rear

Wheel Tire/Tube on page 32 and Replacing/Repairing Caster Tire/Tube on page 33.

7. Periodically adjust wheel locks in correlation to tire wear. Refer to Adjusting Patient-Operated Wheel Locks on page 58.

Tire wear is excessive if:



Pneumatic Tires - there is missing tread or the tires are bald.

Urethane Tires - there are cuts, surface defects or the tires are loose on the rims.

Rubber Tires - 30% or more of the tire has worn away.

Invacare recommends that tires and casters be replaced every five years.

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

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

10. Check upholstery for sagging, rips or tears.

11. Clean upholstery with mold soap and water.

12. Replace any labels that are missing, worn, or torn. Refer to Label Locations on page 8 for a listing of labels and their locations.

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.

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