Invacare® Colibri
WARNING!
Risk of tipping over
– Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3
of the top speed.
– If your scooter is fitted with an adjustable
backrest, always return the backrest of your
seat to an upright position before ascending
slopes. We recommend that you lean the
backrest slightly to the rear before descending
slopes.
– When descending slopes, bring your seat to a
maximum forward position.
– Never attempt to ascend or descend a slope on
slippery surfaces or where there is a danger of
skidding (such as wet pavement, ice etc).
– Avoid trying to get out of the scooter on an
incline or a gradient.
– Always drive in a straight direction along the
road or path you are travelling on, rather than
attempting to zigzag.
– Never attempt to turn around on an incline or
a slope.
CAUTION!
Braking distance is much longer on a downhill
slope than on even terrain
– Never drive down a slope that exceeds the
rated slope (refer to 11 Technical Data, page
47).

5.5 Parking and stationary

If you park your vehicle, or leave it idle or unattended for
a longer period:
1. Switch off the power supply (keyswitch) and remove key.

5.6 Pushing Scooter by Hand

The motors of the scooter are fitted with automatic brakes,
preventing the scooter from rolling away out of control
when the power supply is turned off. When pushing the
scooter, the magnetic brakes must be disengaged.

5.6.1 Disengaging Motors

CAUTION!
Risk of the vehicle running away
– When the motors are disengaged (for
push operation whilst freewheeling), the
electromagnetic motor brakes are deactivated.
When the vehicle is parked, the levers for
engaging and disengaging the motors must
without fail be locked firmly into the "DRIVE"
position (electromagnetic motor brakes
activated).
