SECTION 5—WHEELCHAIR OPERATION

Operating Powered Seating Systems

GENERAL WARNINGS

Refer to A Note About Drive Lock-Out on page 23 BEFORE performing this procedure.

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

NEVER operate the wheelchair or elevate/lower the seat while the back is in any tilted/reclined/back angle position over 20° relative to the vertical position. If the drive lock-out does not stop the wheelchair from operating or the seat from elevating/lowering in a tilt/recline/back angle position over 20° relative to the vertical position, DO NOT operate the wheelchair or elevate/lower the seat. DO NOT attempt to adjust the drive lock-out. Have the wheelchair serviced by a qualified technician.

Use caution when driving in a tilted, reclined or elevated position.

DO NOT operate the seating system while on an incline.

DO NOT operate seating system while the wheelchair is moving.

DO NOT operate the tilt or elevate function near or under a fixed object such as a table or desk.

The elevating seat option is equipped with a speed reduction safety mechanism. While the seat is in an elevated position, the safety feature slows the speed of the wheelchair to 20% of its maximum speed (not to exceed the programmed speed). If the wheelchair operates at maximum speed while in an elevated position, DO NOT operate the wheelchair. Have the wheelchair serviced immediately by a qualified technician.

ACTUATOR CONTROL WARNING

Use only the actuator controls listed in the following chart to activate the tilt/ recline/elevate functions. DO NOT USE any other actuator controls. Such devices may result in excess heating and cause damage to the actuator and associated wiring and could cause a fire, death, physical injury or property damage. If such devices are used, Invacare shall not be liable and the limited warranty is void.
