2 Introduction

Dear User,

First of all we wish to thank you for your confidence in our products. We hope you will enjoy your new

Harrier PlusTM Powerchair.

This manual contains important information and hints on:

•Safety

•Operation

•Care and maintenance

The information contained in this document is subject to change without notice.

As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavours 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.

Do not operate this equipment without first reading and understanding this manual. If you are

unable to understand the warnings, cautions, and instructions, contact your dealer otherwise injury

or damage may result.

The initial set up of this wheelchair must be performed by a qualified technician.

Procedures other than those described in this manual must be performed by a qualified technician.

Note:

Not all of the components within this manual will necessarily be available with your Power wheelchair. Any

references not applicable to your product should be ignored.

2.1 Intended Use

Indoor and outdoor configurable wheelchair offered with various options compliant with EN12184:1999

section 5 class B.

The Harrier PlusTM powered wheelchair has been designed to provide mobility and comfort for persons with

impaired mobility.

The wheelchair has been designed to be used either/or by a seated user/carer/attendant in both indoor and

outdoor environments.

The wheelchair has, in its standard format, been designed to accommodate users who have all limbs intact and

have sufficient upper body strength to maintain a safe position within the wheelchair without the addition of

supporting aids.

Adaptations from the standard wheelchair format are available to accommodate users who do not meet these

criteria but these will only be considered after a suitable assessment of the risks has been carried out by a

qualified person. When prescribing wheelchairs for use by full or partial amputees (above or below knee,

single or double) it is important to recognise that lower limb amputation will affect the sitting centre of

balance of the wheelchair. The impossibility of generalising the individual ability of a wheelchair user means it

is imperative that the product prescriber carries out a full stability evaluation to ensure that the user is safe in

the use of the wheelchair and the risk of the wheelchair tipping is minimised.

The wheelchair should only be used in accordance with the safety advice given within this user guide. Failure to

follow the recommended advice within this user guide could lead to personal injury.

2.2 Type Classification

Your Powerchair is a Class B (EN12184) and Class 2 (Road Traffic Act) available with a maximum speed of

4mph for use only on pavements, footpaths, pedestrian zones and areas free from motor traffic. It is not

allowed on the highway except for the purpose of crossing. Under no circumstance must the top speed of the

Powerchair be increased, to do so will infringe the ‘The Use of Invalid Carriages on Highways Regulations

1988, Statutory Instrument 1988 No. 2268’

WARNING!

WEIGHT LIMITATION – Your Powerchair has a maximum user weight limit of 114kg/18stone.
