Product description

REA™ CLEMATIS®

The Rea™ Clematis®’s seat frame, push handles and certain other com-

ponents subjected to strain are made of steel. Legrests are made of high

quality aluminium.

Castor suspension and the jointed parts of the frame are made of polyamide

reinforced with fibreglass. The backrest plate is also made of polyamide

reinforced with fibreglass. Plastic details are marked for recycling. Seat and

backrest cushions are made of foam rubber and the upholstery is made of

washable plush or elastic polyurethane cloth.

The Rea™ Clematis® is a carer-operated wheelchair with an angle-adjus-

table seat unit. The angle of the backrest unit can be adjusted independently

of the seat. The controls for the seat and backrest angle adjustment are

included on the push handles. The Rea™ Clematis® is available in three

seat widths. The armrest height of each chair can be adjusted.

The wheels can be pneumatic or semi solid.

The seat and backrest pads have been ergonomically designed for the user.

They are to provide as much stability and comfort as possible, as well as

good pressure distribution.

The Rea™Clematis® is a manual wheelchair, intended for users who have

a low level of activity and who sit in the chair for long periods. The com-

prehensive comfort and stability provided by the backrest and the option of

seat unit and backrest angle adjustment provide the user with relaxed and

comfortable rest.

• Regarding both operation and manual adjustment of the seat unit the

Rea™Clematis® is intended for operation by the carer.

• The Rea™Clematis® must be used with its seat and backrest pads.

• The max. user weight is 125 kg.

• The service life of the chair depends on its application, the user’s degree

of activity as well as care and maintenance.

Intended use

6CLEMATIS®

Invacare®is only responsible for product changes carried

out by personnel who we authorise. We reserve the right

to make any changes to equipment and specifications with-

out prior notice.

Rea™Clematis® is a wheelchair with many adjustment options and accessories.

To ensure that you benefit as much as possible from Rea™Clematis®, and in

order to do it's options justice, the chair must be tested and adjusted by compe-

tent personnel. We hope that you have also received instructions for using your

Rea™Clematis® in everyday life.

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

options, how to use the Rea Clematis® safely and how to transport it. The

manual must be read thoroughly before the chair is used.

Also included in this manual is a description of how the accessories are fitted and

slightly more advanced settings.

As the Rea™Clematis® has many different components and accessories, the

appearance of the accessories you have for your chair may differ from those

shown.

Check that all components match the delivery note. Any

transport damage must be reported immediately to the

transport company. Remember to keep the packaging

until the transport company has checked the goods and a

settlement has been reached.

General information

Delivery check

NB!

Check that the following parts are securely fitted and

operational on the wheelchair:

• Backrest

• Anti-tip device

• Push handles

• Footrests

Daily performance check

CLEMATIS®7

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/

propelling techniques.

CAUTION AND WARNING

Failure to comply with instructions given may result

in personal injury and/or product damage.

• Check the following points before the wheel-

chair is used:

– all parts are securely fastened to the frame.

– all handles and knobs are properly tightened.

–

that all brakes and anti-tip devices function

correctly

• Never lift the chair by the removable armrests,

or by the footrests. Ensure that the backrest and

push bar are securely fastened to the chair.

• Remember that with every alteration to the

chair’s balance the inclination to tip, forwards or

backwards, also changes.

• When fitting accessories etc. always take care

not to trap your fingers.

• There is always an increased risk of trapping

parts of your body when tilting the wheelchair’s

back and seat.

• The width of the seat should never be adjusted

so much so that the inside of the armrests press

against the side of the pelvis.

• Apply the brake whenever the occupant is to be

moved into or out of the chair.

• Never stand on the footplates when getting in

or out of the chair, because of the risk of tip-

ping over.

• We recommend that the chair should be fitted

with castor adapters when the seat is located in

its most forward position.

• The handrims may become hot due to friction, and

this may cause injury to your hands.

• 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.

• Surfaces of the wheelchair like frame parts or

upholstery can reach temperature

> 41 degrees C if they have been exposed to the

sun during a longer period of time. .
