SECTION 17—MK6I ELECTRONICS
SECTION 17—MK6i ELECTRONICS
After any adjustments, repair or service and before use, make sure all attaching
hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
Before performing any maintenance, adjustments or service, always turn the
wheelchair power off, otherwise injury or damage may result.
Cables MUST be secured to the wheelchair frame and/or base with tie-wraps after
servicing is complete. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions below could
result in injury to the users, attendants and/or bystanders and/or damage to the
wheelchair.
Cables MUST be secured so there are no loops of excess cable extending away from
the wheelchair. Bundle all excess cable together and secure with a tie-wrap. It may
also be necessary to secure these bundles to the frame and/or base.
ALWAYS test all wheelchair functions after securing the cables to be sure cables
DO NOT get pinched, crushed or pulled during operation of the wheelchair.

Connecting/Disconnecting Network Connectors

The controller network connector MUST be positioned at the end of the series of
network connectors. The bottom connector cap MUST be installed. Otherwise,
injury may occur due to contact with the exposed pins on the controller network
connector.
NEVER allow tools to contact the pins on the controller network connector.
Otherwise, injury or damage may occur.
The top connector cap and gasket MUST be installed to protect the network
connectors from dirt, debris or contamination. Otherwise, the wheelchair may not
function properly.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 17.1 on page 119.
NOTE: Most MK6i components connect to form a network. Use this procedure to connect/
disconnect cables that have network connectors.
