REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION

Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by a qualified technician. The final tuning adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair. Damage to the equipment could occur under these circumstances. If any individual other than an a qualified technician per- forms any work on these units, the warranty is void.

OPERATING INFORMATION

GENERAL WARNINGS

Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding property.

After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to the speci- fications entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.

DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the wheelchair may tip over.

DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks/clutches until the power is in the OFF position.

DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9o.

DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.

DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the chair.

DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare.

DO NOT leave the power button ON when entering or exiting your wheelchair.

DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.

DO NOT use the footplate and/or footboard as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position or swing footrests towards the outside of the chair.

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap.

TIRE PRESSURE

DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recom- mended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.

ELECTRICAL

EXTREME care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in the use of oxygen.

BATTERIES

The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power source for this unti.

The use of rubber gloves and safety glasses is recommended when working with batteries.
