FWD WHEELCHAIRS

PROCEDURE 13

REPOSITIONING MOTORS (FIGURE 20)

WARNING

The overall performance of the wheelchair WILL be affected by the front wheel mounting posi- tion. The following charts show the mounting po- sition of the motors for each seat width and depth depending on the factory setting or user's weight.

If the mounting position that corresponds to the user's weight is different than the factory setting, the motors MUST BE repositioned to maintain proper stability and controllability BEFORE using the wheelchair. Otherwise injury or damage can occur.

Periodically review the following charts to make sure the motor mounting position still corresponds to the user's weight to maintain the proper stabil- ity and controllability.

R2JR ONLY - NEVER reposition the motors. Reposi- tioning the motors forward WILL reduce the con- trollability of the wheelchair. This procedure MUST be performed by an Invacare Dealer.

NOTE: If motors are repositioned, the front riggings may need to be repositioned. Refer to ADJUSTING/REPLAC- ING TELESCOPING FRONT RIGGING SUPPORT in PROCEDURE 9 of the owner's manual, 1080722.
