SPECIAL NOTES

Part No. 1125085 9Pronto®M50™, M51™and M61™with SureStep™

SPECIAL NOTES

WARNING/CAUTION notices as used in this manual apply to hazards or unsafe

practices which could result in personal injury or property damage.

NOTICE

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO

CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

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 RESTRAINTS

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.

 WARNING

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.

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction

with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not

been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.

The drive behavior initially experienced by the user may be different from other

chairs previously used. This power wheelchair has Invacare’s SureStep technology, a

feature that provides the chair with optimum traction and stability when driving

forward over transitions and thresholds of up to 2-inches. The following warnings

apply specifically to the SureStep Feature.

• Do not use on inclines greater than 9°.

• Do not use on inclines with wet, slippery, icy or oily surfaces. This may include

certain painted or otherwise treated wood surfaces.

• Do not traverse down ramps at high speed. Doing so will reduce traction and

increase stopping distance.

• The end user’s weight can materially affect traction on sloped surfaces. Great

care should be taken when traversing such slopes.

To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice use of this product

on various sloping surfaces in the presence of a qualified healthcare provider

BEFORE attempting active use of this wheelchair. Other general warnings listed

within this document also apply.
