Operating The Verticalizer - Invacare Dragon Vertic User Manual

The wheelchair disengaging mechanism is fitted with
a gas pressure spring which prevents overloading the
disengager. When the drive wheels are under torque
load - for example if the wheelchair is on an incline
- the gas pressure spring is activated. When the
engaging lever is pressed forwards it does not remain
in the "Pushed" position, but moves automatically
back to the "Drive" position. To disengage the drive,
the drive wheels must be unloaded by moving the
wheelchair slightly forwards and backwards again.
The motors may only be disengaged by an attendant,
not by the user.
This ensures that the motors are only disengaged if
an attendant is available to secure the wheelchair
and prevent unintended rolling.
The lever for disengaging the motors is on the rear right
side on the wheelchair chassis.

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.
CAUTION!
Risk of falling out of the seat if the retaining
systems are not used
– Only raise the verticalizer if all retaining systems
– retaining belt and knee strap/clamp – have
been applied and locked properly.
The verticalizer is controlled via the remote. Refer to the
remote user manual for more information.
