PLEASE NOTE!
• During transport Wheeler shall always be placed facing forward when the user sits in the wheel-
chair.
!
We recommend that the user always, when possible, sits in the vehicle’s seat.
• The user must be secured in the wheelchair with the wheelchair’s seat belt and in the vehicle
with the vehicle’s inertia reel type harness system to prevent injury to the head and chest in case
of collision or sudden braking.
• The backrest should be at an angle of 90 degrees.
• The anti-tip devices should be as close to the floor as possible.
• Headrest is recommended.
• The parking brakes of the chair must be applied when the wheelchair is secured and transported.
• To reduce the risk of loose objects becoming dislodged and injuring the passengers during trans-
port, the tray and pommel must be removed and secured separately in the vehicle. Other extra
equipment should be secured properly on the wheelchair, or removed from the chair and stored
safely in the vehicle during transport.
• Please consult Invacare® Rea® if you have any questions on how the wheelchair is used for sit-
ting in, in a vehicle.
• Changes or replacements should not be made to the safety details of the wheelchair, to the
design, frame parts or components without first consulting the manufacturer.
• Wheeler must have transport attachments for restraint fastened on the rear frame when the
wheelchair shall be transported in a vehicle. Transport attachments for the front frame are
recommended but not necessary.
