1. GENERAL PRESENTATION
We thank you for purchasing this wheelchair SIGNATURE.
Our products are developed and manufactured in France in compliance with the quality
and safety required norms. For safety reasons, please carefully read this instruction’s
guide before using the wheelchair. Please retain this document for further reading.
This manual includes the most recent developments of the products. However,
INNOV’SA retains the right to implement modifications without any obligation to adapt
or replace previously delivered products.
This wheelchair is intended for people who have difficulties to walk or who are unable
to walk. It is intended to carry only one person. The wheelchair is intended to be used
indoor / outdoor under certain conditions.
The wheelchair SIGNATURE is not intended for disoriented people.
Your wheelchair must only be used on surface areas where all six wheels touch the
ground and with sufficient contact for a balanced rolling of all wheels.
Use the wheelchair on flat, stable ground surfaces. Avoid using the wheelchair on a
ground covered with gravel, mud, or made of rounded cobblestone, or on grass or on
any other unstable or uneven surface.
The wheelchair must neither be used as a ladder, nor carry heavy or hot items.
In case of use on floor rugs, carpet or removable floor coverings, those may be damaged.
Do only use INNOV’SA accessories.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damages incurred by the absence
or unsuitable maintenance, or the non-compliance with the instructions of this manual.
The compliance with the instructions of use and maintenance is an essential prerequisite
for the guarantee.

C) General safety instructions
The general safety and operating instructions for using the wheelchair must be carefully read
by the user and the personal care attendant. This manual points out the procedures and the
necessary techniques ensuring the correct utilisation of the product. It is important to test these
techniques until you feel comfortable when using the product and undertaking the most frequent
required maintenance features. Use this manual as a basic guide
in which by many people
successfully tested techniques are being presented.
Users often develop personal
capacities while adapting themselves to the day-to-day life, which may differ from
those described in this manual.
INNOV’SA
encourages each and every user and
attendant to try what is best for himself in order to suit his environment
.
Nevertheless,
all the recommendations of this manual must be imperatively followed. The described
techniques in this manual are the starting point for the user and the attendant, safety
being the most important point.
INNOV’SA does not recommend to use the wheelchair SIGNATURE as a training device. It
has not been developed and tested for that purpose. INNOV’SA cannot be held responsible in
case of injuries and the guarantee shall be considered null and void. When using the wheelchair,
all 6 wheels must remain in contact with the ground, except when crossing an obstacle.
Never leave the user unattended.
