These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician. 9000 Series 12 Part No. 1076155 SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Stability - Recliner Models Only ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the recliner option. Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the 9000XT Recliner. ALWAYS return the back to the upright position before lifting the wheelchair. Lift Kit Models only ‐ Both spring lift mechanisms MUST be operational before using the recliner. DO NOT operate the recliner option if only one (1) of the spring lift mechanisms is operational. Anti-Tippers Anti‐tippers are specific to the different seat‐to‐floor angles and/or seat‐to‐floor heights. Refer to the charts in Installing/Adjusting Anti‐tippers on page 80 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 with or without a change to seat‐to‐floor angle, the correct anti‐tippers MUST be used to maintain a 1½ to 2‐inch ground clearance. Seat‐to‐floor angle of 0° or 3°: If so equipped, anti‐tippers MUST be attached at all times. Inasmuch as the anti‐tippers are an option for 0° or 3° 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. Seat‐to‐floor angle of 6°: If changing the seat‐to‐floor angle to 6°, anti‐tippers MUST be installed. Operating Information 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. Unless otherwise noted, all service and adjustment should be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied. 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, ensure prior to use that the handgrips do not twist on the handle. Otherwise, damage or injury may occur. Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result. Part No. 1076155 13 9000 Series SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT attempt to lift the wheelchair by any removable (detachable) parts.

After initial setup, perform these procedures every time the wheelchair is serviced. Checklist ❑ Ensure that the wheelchair rolls straight (no excessive drag or pull to one side). ❑ Inspect for loose or missing hardware on frame and crossbraces. ❑ Inspect for bent frame or crossbraces. ❑ Check that the wheel locks do not interfere with tires when rolling. ❑ Check that the wheel lock pivot points are free of wear and looseness. ❑ Check that the wheel locks are easy to engage. ❑ Ensure that the wheel locks prevent the wheelchair from moving when engaged. ❑ Inspect the seat and back for rips and sagging. ❑ Inspect the seat and back for loose or broken hardware. ❑ Inspect the back cane hand grips for wear/looseness/deterioration. ❑ Inspect seat positioning strap for any signs of wear. Ensure buckle latches. Verify hardware that attaches strap to frame is secure and undamaged. Replace if necessary. ❑ Inspect tires for flat spots and wear. ❑ Check pneumatic tires for proper inflation. CAUTION As with any vehicle, check the wheels and tires periodically for cracks and wear. Replace if damaged. ❑ If equipped, check that quick‐release axles lock properly. Lubricate if necessary. ❑ Check that there is no excessive side movement or binding in the rear wheels when lifted and spun. ❑ Inspect rear wheels for cracked, bent or broken spokes. ❑ Ensure all spokes are uniformly tight. ❑ Inspect handrims for signs of rough edges or peeling. ❑ Inspect axle assembly for proper tension by spinning caster. Caster should come to a gradual stop. ❑ Adjust front casters/forks bearing system if wheel wobbles noticeably or binds to a stop. Part No. 1076155 15 9000 Series SECTION 2—SAFETY INSPECTION/TROUBLESHOOTING ❑ Ensure wheel bearings are clean and free of moisture. ❑ Check headtube locknuts for tightness. ❑ Inspect casters for cracks and wear. ❑ Inspect front casters for cracked, bent or broken spokes. ❑ Clean upholstery and armrests. ❑ Check that all labels are present and legible. Replace if necessary.

Refer to Adjusting Quick‐Release Axle on page 57. 3. 9000 SL/9000 XT only ‐ 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. 4. If tires are pneumatic, 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. 5. The rear wheels, casters and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced if damaged. NOTE: 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. NOTE: Invacare recommends that tires and casters be replaced every five (5) years. 6. Periodically adjust wheel locks in correlation to tire wear. Refer to Adjusting Patient‐Operated Wheel Locks on page 83. 7. Periodically check handrims to ensure they are secured to the rear wheels. If loose, tighten them. 8. 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. 9. Hand grips should be checked monthly for wear/looseness/deterioration. Clean if desired. Replace if looseness or deterioration is found. 10. Check upholstery for sagging, rips or tears. Part No. 1076155 17 9000 Series SECTION 3—SEAT AND BACK SECTION 3—SEAT AND BACK WARNING After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise, injury or damage may occur. The seat depth, back height/angle, seat angle, size/position of the front casters, size/position of the rear wheels, anti-tipper model, as well as the user condition directly relate to the stability of the wheelchair. Any change to one (1) or any combination of the ten (10) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability. Use extreme caution when using a new seating position.
