WARNING
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely. Otherwise injury or 
damage may occur.
WARNING
ALWAYS make sure that the wheelchair is stable before using the recliner option.
ALWAYS engage both wheel locks while reclining or inclining (sitting up) the wheelchair.
ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or 
without the seat positioning strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional safeguard for the 
wheelchair user. The seat positioning strap is a positioning strap only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress 
loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, strap MUST be replaced IMMEDIATELY.
Ensure the spreader bar is attached and secured before using the Jymni Recliner. 
TO HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS/ASSISTANTS:
Make sure occupant's hands and body are clear of all pinch points before reclining back. Pinch Points exist between spreader bar and 
recliner mechanism. Use caution, otherwise injury may occur.
Keep clear when reclining or inclining chair back to avoid injury.
Make sure the patient is properly positioned in the wheelchair before reclining or inclining (reverse recline) to maintain maximum 
stability and safety. Refer to Safety/Handling of Wheelchairs on page 19.
Before using the recliner option, make sure the anti-tipper wheel assemblies are in the lowest adjustment hole (adjustment hole closet to 
the ground/floor).
