This manual includes a description of the parts of the chair,

simple adjustment options, how to use the Invacare®Spinx

thoroughly before the chair is used.

On this page a number of points affecting your personal safety are

shown. Please Read it carefully!

Invacare®is only responsible for product changes carried out by per-

sonnel who we authorise. We reserve the right to make any changes

to equipment and specifications without prior notice.

Failure to comply with instructions given may result in personal injury

and/or product damage.

• Check each of the following before using the wheelchair:

- that all parts are attached securely to the frame

- that all wheels and knobs are properly tightened

- that all brakes and anti-tip devices function correctly

• Never lift the wheelchair by the detachable armrests, footrests,

backrest stay or by the adjustable push handles.

• Always apply the brake before getting into or out of the chair.

• Never stand on the footplates when getting into or out of the chair,

because of the risk of tipping.

• Changing the seat angle always gives an increased risk of tipping

over.

• The handrims may become hot due to friction, and this may cause

injury to your hands.

• Use extensively the anti-tip device

• Remember that the effectiveness of the carer-operated brake

is reduced in wet and slippery conditions, as well as when on a

slope.

• Be careful to ensure that the drive wheels are securely attached.

• Drive wheels are not to be detached while the user is sitting in the

chair.

• The more the backrest cover’s Velcro straps are slackened the

greater the risk of tipping the wheelchair becomes.

• Surfaces of the wheelchair like frame parts or upholstery can with

long time exposure to sun reach temperatures over 41 °C.

This symbol means warning.

NB!

Always lift the wheelchair by gripping

the frame at the points shown in the

diagram. Never lift the wheelchair by

the removable armrests or the foot-

rests. Ensure that the backrest and push

handles are securely in place. Also read

the chapter Safety instructions/Propel-

ling techniques.

LIFTING THE WHEELCHAIR

INVACARE®SPINx

Intended use

Daily performance check

Check that the following parts are securely fitted on the wheelchair

and operational:

• Wheels

• Backrest

• Anti-tip device

• Push handles

• Footrests

• Brakes

• Invacare®Spinxis a manual wheelchair aimed for those who use

the wheelchair during a longer period of time (several hours in a

row).

• Invacare®Spinxis designed for the user who can manoeuvre the

wheelchair them-selves and as well for the user that requires assist-

ance.

• Invacare®Spinxhave abilities and accessories that make it possible

to adjust the sitting posture so it becomes comfortable and possible

to keep for several hours.

• Invacare®Spinxhave many adjustment possibilities. With the right

adjustments, carried out by a professional the wheelchair can be

set up more specific to the user and assistants requirements. The

possible adjustments are described in the Owners Manual that is

delivered together with the wheelchair.

• Depending on the size of the castors (100-200 mm) could Invacare®

Spinxbe used both indoor and outdoor. We recommend the larger

wheels when the wheelchair is used on un-even ground.

• Note that Invacare®Spinx may tip over, backwards, when being

wheeled uphill, especially when the incline is more than 8° or if the

rearwheels are mounted more forward on the rearwheel attach-

ment. The effect of having the rear wheel fitted in the most forward

position is that the chair will be easier to manoeuver, there is a

however an increased risk of tipping backwards, therefore the use of

anti tippers are recommended in this case. Use the Anti tip devises

when there is a risk of that the chair will tip over and to achieve a

higher stability.

• Invacare®Spinxis designed to have a seat cushion on the seat.

The seat cushion improves the body posture by the user and makes

it possible to sit comfortable for a longer period of time in the

wheelchair.

Assembly

1. Attach the rear wheels by pressing the button in

the centre of the hub whilst simultaneously sliding

the axle into the rear wheel position attachment

of the positioning plate.

It is very important that you check that the

locking pin has actually locked the wheel into

position when the centre button has been

released. Take hold of the wheels and try to

detach them. This should NOT be possible.

3. Unfold the wheelchair.

Be careful not to trap your fingers between

seat and frame tube.

2. Unfold the backrest by pulling backrest backward

until it clicks into place. Make sure that the back-

rest is securely locked.

Be careful not to trap your fingers in the

backrest links.

Check that all components comply with the delivery note. Any damage incurred during transport should be

reported immediately to the delivery company. Retain all packaging until the transport company has inspected

the consignment and an agreement has been reached.

sit on the legrest. It may cause damage to the

mechanism.

The distance between the lowest part of

the footrest and the ground must be at least

40 mm.
