Introduction
You have just bought a Zipper 2 manual wheelchair from our INVACARE range.
This model offers you all the advantages and characteristics of a wheelchair that has been designed especially to meet your particular requirements.
Great care has been taken with this wheelchair throughout the whole of its manufacturing process. The components have been selected for their quality and inspections have been carried out so that your wheelchair can provide you with full satisfaction.
Note For Customers
INVACARE provides a wide range of wheelchairs to meet the requirements of customers. However, the decision on the type of model to be prescribed rests exclusively with qualified advisers.
INVACARE or its appointed representative shall not be held responsible if a wheelchair is used that is unsuitable for the user’s level of disability, if the wheelchair itself is incorrectly used or if a problem arises due to poor maintenance.
The information set out in this manual may be modified without prior notice. This manual contains copyright information. All rights are reserved. No part of this document may be photocopied or reproduced without prior written agreement from INVACARE or its appointed representative.
This manual gives details of all the options of the Zipper 2
range of wheelchairs. It describes the options, operation and
adjustments that may be required. However, your INVACARE retailer will be able to give you further information and
demonstrations.
Safety Notice
Please ensure the wheelchair is fully opened and the seat rails are located in the seat saddles before sitting down.
7
Intended Use
An indoor and outdoor configurable wheelchair offered with various options compliant with EN12183:2009.
The Zipper 2 manual 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 weigh up to a maximum of 114kg (18 stone), 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, these will only be considered after a suitable risk assessment has been carried out by the product prescriber. 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.
No claims are made that the product will medically improve the circumstances or condition of the user.
8
1 Safety & Operating Limits
Stability and equilibrium
To ensure that the wheelchair remains stable and is manipulated correctly, you must always maintain good equilibrium. Many actions cause the user of a wheelchair to reach out, lean over or move about within the wheelchair and outside it. These actions will change your centre of gravity and weight distribution of the wheelchair. Your wheelchair has been designed to remain stable for normal everyday use if it is used correctly taking the precautions recommended in this manual.
Surfaces Affected By Heat
The wheelchair is made from metal and plastic materials and, as with all products made with such materials, it can absorb heat from the sun when used outdoors or exposed to sunlight through windows, etc. This can result in the surfaces of the wheelchair becoming hot, so take care in using it and touching the surfaces if it is left or used in such an environment.
1.1 Weight Limit
The maximum user weight limit is 114kg for both the Self propel (S) and Transit (T) models.
However, the wheelchair user's level of activity is important. For example, an active user weighing 75kg may subject the wheelchair to more stress than a less active user weighing 114kg. We recommend very active wheelchair users to choose an appropriate design of wheelchair. Your INVACARE approved distributor will advise you on the best model.
9
1.2 Reaching For An Object From A Wheelchair
The limitations on reaching out from a wheelchair shown in Figure 1 have been produced using a representative sample of wheelchair users. Only the arms should extend beyond the seat of the wheelchair.
For safety reasons, the body and head should remain within the wheelbase.
Position the castors to give the longest possible wheelbase (Figure 2). Lock the manual brakes on the rear wheels.
10
11
Leaning Forwards
(Figures 3, 4 & 5)
Move the wheelchair as close as possible to the object you wish to reach. Only reach out to take what is within arm’s length in normal sitting position.
Leaning Backwards
(Figures 6 & 7)
Move the wheelchair as close as possible to the object you wish to reach. Only lean back for objects that are within arm's length in normal sitting position.
12
1.3 Transferring To Other Seats
Leaning To One Side
(Figure 8)
This is a dangerous manoeuvre as it is easy to tip sideways.
To move up to an object and lean over, you must use the castors as a means of keeping the wheelchair stable and balanced.
For your safety, it is essential to be in the correct position.
Do not try to pick something up from the floor if this would upset your balance.
It is possible to move from and to a manually propelled chair if the following guidelines are followed. INVACARE does not recommend any particular method for transferring: This is the responsibility of a medical adviser who should consider your level of disability and type of wheelchair. When transferring, either to get out of or return to your wheelchair, make sure that the gap between the two seats is as small as possible.
(Figures 9 and 10)
13
When transferring, either to get out of or return to your wheelchair, make sure that the manual brakes on the rear wheels are on to prevent the wheel moving (Figure 11).
Turn both castors towards the seat to which you wish to move. Lift up the footplates (Figure 12).
Do not stand on the footplates.
14
If possible, swing the legrest hangers out to the side to clear the passage (Figure 13).
If possible, remove the armrests on the side between the wheelchair and the other seat
(Figure 14).
15
Note:
Never stand on the footplates (Figure 15).
16
1.4 Tilting (Balancing On The Rear Wheels)
Tilting without help from a third person:
Wheelchairs in the INVACARE range have been designed for use by those who have mastered the technique of balancing on the rear wheels without help from a third person. However, you should never exceed the limitations of the wheelchair. Repeated shock on the castors caused by tipping the wheelchair up yourself may affect the rigidity or settings of your wheelchair. If your wheelchair is fitted with accessories, these may affect the methods used for balancing on the rear wheels.
When you wish to learn a new technique, consult an experienced person for advice in using your type of wheelchair.
Tilting with assistance from a third person:
The user should be sitting correctly and firmly in the chair or if unable to support themselves, should be strapped in position to prevent him falling out of the chair. If a wheelchair user needs assistance in tilting the chair, the assistant must know how to use his body correctly.
Keep your back straight and bend at the knee to tilt the wheelchair. Never exert too much force. The medical team in charge of the user will advise you in the methods best suited to your morphology. The INVACARE approved distributor will provide you with information on the risks of using the wheelchair incorrectly if the wheelchair has removable parts such as armrests or leg rests.
These must NEVER be used as aids when lifting as they may inadvertently become detached and cause injury.
17
To tilt the wheelchair (Figure 16), a third person should grip the handles firmly. Warn the user of the wheelchair before tilting it and remind him/her to lean backwards. Check that the user's feet and hands are clear of all the wheels. Place a foot on the foot tipping lever and push smoothly until the wheelchair is at the point of equilibrium. At this stage, the helper will feel a difference in weight distribution. Turn the wheelchair in the direction required and negotiate the obstacle.
Lower the front of the wheelchair smoothly, holding the handles firmly. Use your weight on the tipping lever to act as a counterweight. Do not lower the wheelchair suddenly for the last few centimetres before returning to the normal position. This might hurt the user.
16
18
1.5 Kerbs, Or Obstacles Up To 50mm High
Method 1 - Negotiating the obstacle forwards
(Figure 17)
The helper should tilt the wheelchair until the castors have passed over the kerb. Move the wheelchair forwards and lower the castors gently onto the pavement. Push the wheelchair until the rear wheels touch the kerb. Lift and push until the rear wheels have mounted the kerb. Do not just lift by the handles on the backrest.
19
Method 2 - Negotiating the obstacle backwards
(Figure 18)
The helper should stand on the pavement and turn the wheelchair until the rear wheels are against the kerb.
Tilt the wheelchair backwards to the point of equilibrium and, in a continuous movement, pull the wheelchair until the rear wheels mount the kerb and pass onto the pavement. Do not lower the castors to the ground until you have pulled the rest of the wheelchair sufficiently far to clear the kerb.
Note: Folding backs should always be checked to ensure they are engaged.
20
1.6 Steps, Stairs Or Obstacles Over 50mm High
We recommend that you take very great care when taking a wheelchair up or down stairs. Two people are required for this.
ADVICE TO THIRD PERSONS:
Make sure that you get hold of fixed, non-removable parts only.
Use the following procedure for going up stairs
(Figure 19)
: Tilt the wheelchair to its point of equilibrium. One helper (at the back) holds the wheelchair up against the first step, gripping the handles firmly to lift. The second helper, holding firmly a fixed part of the front frame, lifts the wheelchair above the stairs and holds it while the first helper places one foot on the following step and repeats the operation. The wheelchair must not be lowered until the last step has been negotiated and until the chair is clear of the stairs.
Escalators
Do not use an escalator when moving a wheelchair from one floor to another. This might cause serious injury.
21
1.7 Upward & Downward Slopes (Operating Limits)
Do not attempt to go up or down slopes greater than 9% without assistance (Figure 20).
Always go straight up and down slopes otherwise the wheelchair might overturn (Figure 21).
22
Upward Slopes
Lean the upper part of the body forward and push the chair forward with short quick thrusts on the handrims to maintain speed and control direction. If you wish to take a rest, apply both brakes when stopping (Figure 22).
Note: The use of anti tippers is recommended in the traversing of upward slopes.
Downward Slopes
Lean backwards carefully and allow the handrims to slide through your hands. Be ready to react at any moment to check the speed and direction by keeping in close contact with the handrims. The manual brakes should not be used to slow you down (Figure
23)
. If you are going up or down a slope avoid turning sharply and never try to go up or down diagonally.
23
1.8 Heat and Fire Warnings
The wheelchair is made from metal and plastic materials and, as with all products made with such materials, it can absorb heat from the sun when used outdoors or exposed to sunlight through windows etc.
This can result in the surfaces of the wheelchair becoming hot, so take care in using it and touching the surfaces if it is left or used in such an environment.
Fire and burning
The seat and backrest materials have been tested to ensure compliance with ISO requirements for cigarette and match flame equivalent and are non flammable but care must still be exercised if using cigarettes or other smoking products, or sources of heat, not to drop them onto the seat and/or backrest where they can become trapped between contacting/trap points on the wheelchair.

25
2 Use
2.1 Folding & Unfolding The Wheelchair
Wheelchair with fabric upholstery.
To fold:
Lift the footplates.
Release the backrest tension bar if necessary.
Using both hands, take the centre of the seat fabric at the front and back edges and raise it (Figure 24).
Or, tilt the wheelchair to one side and close it using the handles on the back rest or the armrests (Figure
25)
.
To Unfold:
(Figure 26)
Unfold the wheelchair by taking hold of the armrest or the side of the chair nearest to you, tip the chair sideways (lifting the rear wheel and the caster from the ground) and press on the tube supporting the seat upholstery until it is fully down. The seat upholstery should be fully open.
Note:
Ensure that the seat rails are fully engaged in the plastic carriers before sitting down. To avoid injury, keep hands and fingers away from moving parts (armrests, folding frame, footrest supports or leg rests, etc).
26
2.2 Propelling The Wheelchair
The wheels of your wheelchair are fitted with handrims (Figure 27). The qualified personnel will be able to advise you on the most appropriate way of propelling yourself. Various accessories may be fitted to improve the grip
(plastic coatings, studs). Lean the upper part of the body forward and push the chair forward with short quick thrusts on the handrims to maintain speed and control direction.

WARNING
Applicable only to chairs fitted with 24" wheels. These chairs are assembled with the wheels set in the rearward position. It is important that the chairs are not re-configured with the wheels set in the "forward" position; this would allow the footrest hangers to disengage the brake levers when swung away from their locked position, causing the chair to become unstable.
Handrims
The handrims are used by the user to drive the wheelchair.
Note: As the handrims are in contact with your hands, make sure that they are not damaged and that the surface has no parts which might cause injury to the hands.
Adjustment: No adjustment is required for the handrims. Handrims that are fitted to INVACARE selfpropelling wheelchairs must not be removed to reduce the width of the wheelchair for access to narrow entrances, or for any other purposes. The wheelchairs are tested to ISO 7176 specifications including static, impact and fatigue. The wheel assembly complete with handrim is included in such testing.
The handrim is part of the whole wheelchair design, and structural integrity may be affected if the handrim is removed.
Removal of handrims from the products will also invalidate any warranty on the chair.

The foot rests comprise a pair of mounting tube and rest assemblies and are intended solely as a foot support when you are sitting down. Each footplate assembly can slide into the elevating legrest on the appropriate side and its height can be adjusted. The footplates can be raised for front transfers.
Adjusting the footplate assemblies on the leg rests: Release the set screw (A) and position the foot rest assembly at the required height in the leg rest tube. Tighten set screw (A).
13 Calf Straps
To finalise the foot and leg position, your wheelchair has a calf strap on the foot rest supports.
Adjustment: Your calf strap is adjustable, just pull the end of the strap to release the hook and eye fastening and adjust the tension. Place the end back in position on the fastener and press together to ensure a good fixing.
The strap is removable.
Heel support straps
To finalise the foot position, the rest can be equipped with heel straps. The strap cannot be removed and should be repositioned towards the front when folding back the footplate.

14 Backrest Extension
(Photograph 21)
The backrest extension has two uprights (B) and backrest extension upholstery. The locating pegs should only be fitted to the push handles of the backrest by a qualified technician.
When refitting, make sure that it is firmly fixed onto the locations fitted to the backrest tubes. Raise the head rest assembly to remove it from the tubes of the recliner backrest.
Adjustment: No adjustment is required for this extension.
However, it can be removed for transport.
Fitting Instructions - Backrest Extension For Vehicle Transport
When transporting the chair the backrest extension must be secured to the push handles.
Using a M5 x 30mm Hex Hd screw and location ring
(See photo)
Slide the location ring inside the slot on the extension tube, and then feed the Hex Hd screw through the tube and location ring and firmly secure to the push handle.

15 Rear Anti Tippers
(Photograph 22)
The anti-tippers help prevent you from tipping over when the rear wheels are incorrectly positioned, or when the user or attendant mishandles the wheelchair.
Use: The anti-tippers fit into the rear tubes of the side frames (A). Fit the anti-tippers into the side frame rear tube, until the button springs are positioned in the holes of the rear tube (A). Carry out these operations in the reverse order to remove. You can leave the anti-tip casters on the wheelchair even if you do not wish to use them. Just depress the button spring and rotate the entire anti-tipper unit a half turn. (180°).
Note:
The anti-tippers are not to be used as tipping levers.
16 Transit Kit
(Photos 23 and 24)
The transit kit includes a manual brake for operation by an attendant.
Note:
- This brake is different to the self propelled version.
Also included is a choice of either pneumatic or solid tyre wheels.
Adjustment: It may be necessary to adjust the brakes after repairing a puncture or because of wear on the pneumatic or solid tyre. Slacken clamp screws (B) and adjust the brake assembly to achieve adequate braking. Tighten the clamp screws (B) firmly after adjustment.
47
The pressure is shown on the tyre and must never be exceeded.
In case of a puncture, the tyre may have to be removed from the rim. Press the valve to let all the remaining air out of the inner tube. Remove the tyre off the rim. Repair or replace the inner tube. Put the tyre back on the rim. Inflate the tyre to the required pressure.
17 Amputee Kit
(Photograph 25)
The amputee kit makes it possible for the manually propelled wheelchair to be operated by people whose centre of gravity is further back while allowing the wheelchair to be used with fewer restrictions than with anti-tippers. The kit should be fitted and adjusted by a qualified technician
.
48
18 Tray
(Photos 26 and 27)
The tray mounting brackets can be fixed under the armrest pads.
Use: The tray can be positioned towards the front or back without locking. The tray can folded to the left or right for frontal transfers only. The tray requires no adjustment.
Note
: Do not move the wheelchair with the tray folded aside.
19 Spoke Guards
The spoke guards must be assembled by a qualified technician. The spoke guards do not require any adjustment.
49
20 Lap Belt
20.1
TYPES OF LAPBELT:
The lap belt is commonly used to assist wheelchair users to maintain an optimal sitting posture. Correct use of the lap belt is intended to help the user, especially those with limited sitting balance, to remain safe, comfortable and well positioned in their wheelchair. Please note however, that the lap belt may have been replaced with an alternative by your therapist to meet your requirements. If an alternative lap belt or harness, etc. has been fitted please ensure you are provided with the manufacturers written instructions for fitting and safe usage.
‘Plastic buckle belt’ – adjustment is possible on both sides will allow the buckle to remain in a central position.
50
20.2 Lap Belt Adjustment
A lap belt is a standard accessory included with the purchase of your wheelchair, this will have been factory fitted, or fitted by your INVACARE supplier / dealer, who would have provided you with a demonstration of operation and fitting, etc. The lap belt is commonly used to assist wheelchair users to maintain an optimal sitting posture. Correct use of the lap belt is intended to help the user, especially those with limited sitting balance, to remain safe, comfortable and well positioned in their wheelchair.
Note
In the interests of safety, INVACARE recommend the use of a correctly adjusted lap belt whenever you use your wheelchair. The lap belt should be sufficiently tightened to prevent you from sliding down between the belt and seat.
Adjustment
Ensure you are sitting correctly, i.e. fully back in the seat, and the pelvis is as upright and symmetrical as possible – not forward on one side or tilted back. Position the lap belt so that the hip bones can be felt above the belt. Adjust the length of the lap belt using the buckles on either side of the clasp. As a guide, adjust the length so that there is just sufficient room for your hand to slide between your body and the belt. For ease of use it is recommended that the clasp is kept in a central position i.e. make adjustments to each side.
Warning
During transportation the user should be restrained independently of the wheelchair by a suitably approved restraint system, the lap belt supplied with your wheelchair may be used in addition to but never as a substitute for an approved passenger restraint system.
51
21 Tipping Levers
(Photograph 28)
The tipping lever can only be used by an attendant and it is designed to assist tipping the chair rearwards when obstacles are encountered, such as pathway kerbs.
The tipping lever tubes are fixed into the rear tubes of the both side frames (A).
Fit the tipping lever into the side frame rear tube, until the button springs (B) are positioned in the holes of the rear tube (A).
Use: The attendant, whilst pulling the wheelchair push handles must press on the tipping levers with either foot, in order to raise the front of the wheelchair to the required height.
52
22 Routine Checks & Maintenance
Checking Performance
As a user, you are the first to notice that your wheelchair is not operating properly. The following table shows some readily identified symptoms and gives the preliminary checks to be carried out.

The wheelchair drags to the left
The wheelchair turns or moves slowly
The castors wobble
Creaks and clicking
Play
(looseness) in the chair
Tyre pressure is correct and even
Nuts, bolts and screws are tight
The angle of the front forks is correct

If the symptoms persist when the tyre pressure has been corrected and the nuts, bolts and screws have been tightened, consult your approved INVACARE distributor.
53
Checking The General Condition
For maintenance operations, consult your distributor who has all the necessary information.
Ask your distributor to inspect your wheelchair thoroughly annually, and carry out in depth maintenance. Regular maintenance allows defective or worn parts to be identified and improves the normal operation of your wheelchair.
The following table shows what to check when the wheelchair is delivered, each week, each month and at 6 monthly intervals.
Checks to be made:
1. General:
The wheelchair unfolds and folds easily
The wheelchair moves in a straight line (no resistance or drag)
2. Manual Brakes:
The manual brakes do not touch the tyres when moving.
The manual brakes are easy to operate
The articulations are not worn and do not show signs of play
3. Cross Bars
Examine them to check that they are not worn or bent
4. Clothing protectors / armrest upholstery
Check that all fixings are in position and tightened

23.1 Transport
INVACARE always advises that a wheelchair secured in a vehicle will not provide the equivalent level of safety and security of vehicle seating systems and recommends transfer to the vehicle seating, but also recognizes that it is not always practical for the user to be transferred. In those cases where it is considered that the user must be transported whilst within the wheelchair, then the following advice should be followed.
1. Seek confirmation from the transporter that the vehicle is suitably designed and equipped to transport a passenger seated in a wheelchair.
Note: The wheelchair user safety during transportation largely depends upon the diligence of the person securing the tie downs and passenger restraints.
2. Any part of the wheelchair (accessories etc.) that can be easily detached should be removed and stored in the vehicle luggage hold during transportation.
3. The wheelchair should always be transported in a forward facing direction. Rearward facing is only acceptable if the occupant's head and back can be supported by a suitable bulkhead.
4. INVACARE recommends that the wheelchair be secured by 4-Point webbing tie down systems as manufactured by Unwin Safety Systems or Koller Safety Restraint Engineers.
5. When attaching tie down systems to the wheelchair it is imperative these are fixed onto the main frame of the wheelchair and not onto any attachments or accessories (not wheels, handrims, castors, footrests, anti tipping levers etc.). Tie down points are indicated by the tie down stickers in the correct areas.
6. The tie downs should be secured, as close as possible, at an angle of 45° to ensure maximum effectiveness of the restraint in all directions.
56
7. The occupant should be restrained independently of the wheelchair by a suitably approved passenger safety belt or harness. Pelvic restraint or lap belts supplied with the wheelchair may be used in addition to but never as a substitute for approved passenger restraints.
57
23.2 Transporting your wheelchair as luggage
When you are transporting your wheelchair you can easily remove certain parts to make the chair smaller and lighter.
1
Start by removing the armrest assemblies; refer to guidance provided in section 7
2
Remove the legrest / footrest assemblies; refer to guidance provided in section 12
Be careful not to trap your fingers between frame and legrest.
3
Fold the backrest; refer to guidance provided in section 5
4
Folding the chair; refer to guidance provided in section 2.1
5
Position the wheelchair in a safe location within the storage compartment of the vehicle.
Always exercise caution when lifting; adopt correct posture and use correct technique to avoid injury.
Never lift the wheelchair by removable parts (armrests, footrests etc if left connected).
58
59
24 Storage
When you will not be using your wheelchair for a prolonged period, the following precautions will help to keep it in perfect condition.
Store the wheelchair in a clean, dry place.
Do not put heavy objects on top of it.
Cover it with a dust sheet to keep it dust-free.
25 Cleaning
The parts of the wheelchair can be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth. Vynyl or Nylon seat and backrest upholstery and the tyres can be cleaned with a cloth dampened in clean soapy water.
When you have been out or whenever the metal parts have been wet, they should be wiped dry to prevent possible corrosion.
