REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION

Setup of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by individuals certified by Invacare. The final tuning 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 Limited Warranty is void.

OPERATING INFORMATION

GENERAL WARNINGS

Professionals of the healthcare field or other persons should only make performance adjustments fully conversant with this process and the wheelchair operator’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/adjusted, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to the specifications entered during the setup procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter setup specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.

DO NOT leave the power button ON when entering or exiting your wheelchair.

Avoid storage or use near external flames or combustible products.

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 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.
