Invacare® Bora/Spectra XTR Series
CAUTION!
Risk of injury if the wheelchair tips over
– Never exceed the maximum permissible load
(see chapter 11 Technical Data, page114 ).
– Avoid dangerous driving situations when the
lifter is in a raised position, such as trying to
overcome obstacles like curbs or driving up or
down steep gradients.
– Never lean out of the seat when the lifter is
raised.
– Inspect the lifter module at least once a month
to make sure the automatic speed reduction
function, which reduces the speed of the
wheelchair when the lifter is raised, is working
properly (see chapter The Lifter). Notify your
authorized provider immediately if it is not
working properly.
CAUTION!
Risk of malfunction of the lifter module
– Inspect the lifter module at regular intervals
to make sure there are no foreign objects or
visible damage, and to make sure the electric
plugs are firmly inserted into their sockets.

CAUTION!
Damage to wheelchair caused by one-sided
loading on lifter pillar
– One-sided loading occurs if the seat is raised
and/or tilted. Always return your seat backrest
to the upright position and the seat tilting to
the horizontal position before ascending slopes.
Never subject the lifter pillar to continuous
single-sided loading. The raising and tilting
function of the seat only provides additional
rest positions.
Important information regarding speed reduction
with raised lifter
– If the lifter has been raised above a certain
point, the drive electronics considerably
reduces the speed of the wheelchair. If speed
reduction has been activated, drive mode can
only be used to carry out minor movements of
the wheelchair and not for regular driving. To
drive normally, lower the lifter until the speed
reduction has been deactivated again. See
chapter The Lifter for details.
