Repair or Service Information
Set‐up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by individuals certified by Invacare. The final adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair. Damage to the equipment could occur under these circumstances. If non‐certified individuals perform any work on these units, the warranty is void.
Operating Information
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driverʹs 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 specifications entered during the set‐up procedure. If the wheelchair does not perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair off immediately and re‐enter 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 determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching and transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat.
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects from behind as this may cause the wheelchair to tip over.
DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may occur.
Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the power is off and the wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving.
DO NOT engage or disengage the motor release levers until the power is in the off position.
Invacare strongly recommends proceeding down ramps or slopes at half speed or slower and to avoid hard braking or sudden stops.
