WARNING

CONTROLLER SETTINGS FOR R2JR

Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by qualified technicians. Factory setting of the controller MUST be used for daily activities. Reprogramming the controller to reflect aggressive settings (i.e. increased acceleration, turning, braking etc..) could cause the wheelchair to tip over resulting in serious injury to the user and/or dam- age to the surrounding property.

REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION

Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by qualified technicians. The final tuning adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair. Damage to the equipment could occur under these circumstances. If any individual other than a qualified technician performs any work on these units, the warranty is void.

OPERATING INFORMATION

GENERAL WARNINGS

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 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 per- form to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up specifica- tions. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.

DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare.

TIRE PRESSURE - DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.

BATTERIES - The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power source for this unti.

The use of rubber gloves and safety glasses is recommended when working with batteries.

Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operat- ing your wheelchair.

ELECTRICAL

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 Electri- cal 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. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your wheelchair.
