Invacare® Dragon Vertic
CAUTION!
Risk of tipping
– When the verticalizer is raised, drive operation
only serves positioning and not normal driving.
– Never drive over uneven ground, on an upward
or downward slope or over obstacles when the
verticalizer is raised.

6.6 Parking and stationary

When parking your vehicle or if your vehicle is stationary
for a prolonged period:
1. Switch the vehicle's power system off (ON-/OFF key).
2. Activate your anti-theft lock, if existing.

6.7 Use on public roads

If you wish to use your mobility device on public roads and
lighting is required by national legislation, then your mobility
device needs to be fitted with an appropriate lighting system.
Contact your Invacare provider if you have any questions.
6.8 Pushing the mobility device in freewheel
mode
The motors of the mobility device are equipped with
automatic brakes, preventing that the mobility device starts
rolling out of control when the remote is switched off. When
pushing the mobility device manually whilst freewheeling,
the magnetic brakes must be disengaged.
48
Pushing the mobility device by hand may require
more physical force than expected (more than 100
N). The necessary force nevertheless complies with
the requirements of ISO 7176-14.
The intended use of the freewheel mode is to
maneuver the mobility device over short distances.
The push handles or push bars support this function,
but be aware that there might be some impairment
between the feet of the assistant and the rear part
of the mobility device.

6.8.1 Disengaging Motors

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