Invacare 220 manual Electrical, Grounding Instructions

SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Ensure that the seat is properly locked before use. Otherwise the user may fall from the scooter resulting in bodily harm. Attempting unsafe transfers may cause the user to fall, resulting in serious injury.

Ensure that the seat is locked in the forward position before and during the operation of the scooter. Otherwise, injury to the user and/or damage to the scooter may result.

Ensure that the tiller is properly adjusted before driving the scooter.

After making any tiller angle adjustment and before use, the tiller must be securely locked into position. Otherwise the user may fall from the scooter resulting in bodily harm and/ or damage to the scooter. Gently push/pull the tiller to ensure that the tiller is securely engaged.

DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the frame tubing.

ALWAYS DO keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.

ALWAYS DO wear your seat positioning strap.

The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt 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, belt MUST be replaced immediately.

ALWAYS DO check hand grips for looseness before using the powered scooter. If loose and/or worn, replace immediately.

Avoid storing or using the scooter near external flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result.

Electrical

Check to ensure that all electrical connections are secure at all times.

Grounding Instructions

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three-prong (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addition, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE warning tags on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags.
