Repair or Service Information

Except for programming, DO NOT service or adjust the wheelchair while occupied, unless otherwise noted.

A pinch point exists between walking beam/head tube cap and telescoping tube when at the lowest seat to floor height.

Pinch point may occur when returning the tilted seat to the full upright position or when lowering the elevating seat. Make sure the hands and body of the occupant, attendants and bystanders are clear of all pinch points before returning the tilted seat to the full upright position or lowering the elevating seat.

Before adjusting, repairing or servicing the wheelchair, ALWAYS turn the wheelchair power Off, otherwise, injury or damage may occur.

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.

Transport ready packages are not retrofittable to existing models and are not field serviceable.

Wheelchairs should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (water exposure, incontinence, etc.). Electrical components damaged by corrosion should be replaced IMMEDIATELY.

Wheelchairs that are used by incontinent users and/or are frequently exposed to water may require replacement of electrical components more frequently.

Operation Information

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 wheelchair and to surrounding property.
