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 exlusively with experienced advisors.

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 NXT™

wheelchair. It describes the options, operation and adjustments

that mey be required. However, your INVACARE retailer will be

Introduction

Warranty Terms & Conditions

Standard INVACARE Terms

This is to certify that your wheelchair is warranted by INVACARE Ltd. for a

period of 1 year for parts, 2 years for hardware and frames.

1. Only INVACARE chairs purchased at full price are warranted against

defective workmanship and materials.

2. If a defect or fault is discovered the INVACARE dealer from whom the

wheelchair was obtained should be notiﬁed immediately.

3. The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for damage caused by misuse or

non-observance of the instructions set out in the user manual.

4. During the period of the warranty any parts that have become

defective, due to faulty workmanship or materials, will be renewed or

repaired without charge by the INVACARE dealer.

5. The warranty will be invalid should any unauthorised alteration be made

to the equipment.

6. The purchaser’s statutory rights under the Consumer Protection Act are

not affected.

Warranty Terms &

Conditions

Limitation of Liability

This warranty does not extend to the consequential costs from fault

clearance, in particular freight and travel costs, loss of earnings,

expenses, etc.

• Natural wear and tear.

• Inappropriate or incorrect use.

• Defective assembly or setting-up by the purchaser or third parties.

• Defective or neglectful treatment.

• Use of unsuitable spares.

Intended Use

The NXT™ manual wheelchair has been designed to provide mobility and com-

fort for persons with impaired mobility.

The wheelchair has been designed to be used by a seated user with a carer/

attendant in both indoor and outdoor environments.

The wheelchair has, in its standard format, been designed to accomodate

users who weigh up to a maximum weight of 91Kg (14.4 stone) for all sizes,

have all limbs intact and have sufﬁcent 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 the above criteria but these will only be

considered after a suitable risk assessment has been carried out by the product

prescriber. For example, a user with either a full or partial amputation or other

condition, which affects the natural centre of gravity will need to have a stability

evaluation to minimise the risk of inadvertent tipping.

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.

Intended Use

Safety & Operating

Limits

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.

Weight Limit

The maximum user weight limit is 91Kg (14.4 stone) for all sizes and conﬁgurations.

However, the wheelchair user’s level of activity is important. For example, an

active user weighing 60Kg may subject the wheelchair to more stress than

a less active user weighing 90Kg. We recommend very active wheelchair

users to choose an appropriate design of wheelchair. Your INVACARE approved

distributor will advise you on the best model.

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.

Safety & Operating

Limits

Leaning Forwards

(Figures 3, 4, 5)

Move the wheelchair as close as possible to the object you wish to reach. Only

reach out for objects that are within arm’s length in a 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 a normal sitting position.

Safety & Operating

Limits

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 reccomend any particular

method for transferring: This is the responsibility of a medical advisor who should

consider your level of disablity 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.
