OPERATING TILT/RECLINESYSTEMS (FIGURE 1)

WARNING

NEVER operate the wheelchair while in any

tilt/recline/back angle combination over

20o RELATIVE TO THE VERTICAL POSITION. If

the drive lock-out does not stop the wheel-

chair from operating in a tilt/recline/back

angle combination 20o RELATIVE TO THE

VERTICAL POSITION, DO NOT operate the

wheelchair. Have the wheelchair serviced

by a dealer or qualified technician.

Reduced Tilt and Recline limits apply with

optional vent tray. See MKIV TRCM operat-

ing instructions, part number 1043576.

Use only TSS, SAC, TRSS and TRCM actuator

controls to activate the tilt/recline functions.

DO NOT USE any other actuator controls.

Such devices may result in excess heating

and cause damage to the actuator and as-

sociated wiring and could cause a fire,

death, physical injury or property damage.

If such devices are used, Invacare shall not

be liable and the warranty is void.

A Note About Drive Lock-Out

Drive lock-out is a feature designed to prevent the wheel-

chair from being driven while in any tilt/recline/back angle

combination over 20o RELATIVE TO THE VERTICAL

POSITION. When the drive lock-out feature has been

activated, the LED on the four-way toggle switch will light.

Increasing/Decreasing Tilt Angle

NOTE: The tilt angle range is from 5o to 50 o with a 5o

seat-to-floor angle. The Tilt angle range is from 0o

to 45 o with a 0o seat-to-floor angle.

1. Make sure the wheelchair is on a level surface.

2. Push four-way toggle switch forward towards the front

of the wheelchair until the desired tilt angle is achieved.

NOTE: If the wheelchair is equipped with switch op-

tions, scan to the correct ECU or Auxiliary Mode

and activate the control device in the correspond-

ing forward direction to operate the tilt function. Refer

to the MKIV owner's manual, part number 1043576

for complete switch option operating instructions.

3. Release four-way toggle switch to neutral position.

NOTE: The four-way toggle switch will alternate

functions (increase tilt angle, decrease tilt angle)

after it has been released to the neutral position for

a minimum of one (1) second.

NOTE: Refer to the MKIV owner's manual, part num-

ber 1043576 for complete four-way toggle switch op-

erating instructions.

Increasing/Decreasing Recline Angle

NOTE: The recline angle range is from 95o to 175o

with a 5o seat-to-floor angle. The recline angle range

is from 90o to 175o with a 0o seat-to-floor angle.

1. Make sure the wheelchair is on a level surface.

2. Pull four-way toggle switch back towards the rear of

the wheelchair until desired recline angle is achieved.

NOTE: If the wheelchair is equipped with switch op-

tions, scan to the correct ECU or Auxiliary Mode,

then activate the control device in the correspond-

ing reverse direction to operate the recline func-

tion. Refer to the MKIV owner's manual, part num-

ber 1043576 for complete switch option operating

instructions.

3. Release four-way toggle switch to neutral position.

NOTE: The four-way toggle switch will alternate

functions (increase recline angle, decrease recline

angle) after it has been released to the neutral posi-

tion for a minimum of one (1) second.

NOTE: Refer to the MKIV owner's manual, part num-

ber 1043576 for complete four-way toggle switch op-

erating instructions.
