8.8.1 Replacing Power Module

The various power modules can be installed to the mobility
device with a range of different remotes. Power modules
are described in corresponding controls manuals or earlier
revisions of this manual. Replacement is described below
using LiNX power module as an example. The course of
action is the same for other power modules. The only
difference is the terminal layout.
CAUTION!
Any changes to the drive program can affect the
driving characteristics and the tipping stability
of the mobility device
– Changes to the drive program may only be
carried out by trained providers.
– Invacare can only give a warranty for safe
mobility device driving behaviour - especially
the tipping stability - for unaltered standard
drive programs.
All power modules are delivered with a standard drive
program. If you have carried out customer-specific
modifications to the drive program, you will have to
make these changes again after installing new power
module.
