Disassembly - Invacare Pronto M71 Owner's Operator And Maintenance Manual

SECTION 16—TRANSPORT

Disassembly

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 16.2.
The joystick MUST turned OFF and disconnected before attempting to remove the
seat - otherwise personal injury, damage to the wheelchair and/or surrounding
property may result. See Note below.
The weight of the van seat is 47 lbs and weight of each of the side frames is 39 lbs. It
is recommended that two people pick up these components together - otherwise
injury may result.
NOTE: To remove the seat, the seat is flipped up and the arm is rotated backwards which results
in the joystick facing the ground. The wheelchair could be inadvertently activated by the joystick
coming in contact with the ground.
1. Turn the joystick Off and disconnect. Refer to Disconnecting/Connecting the Joysticks
on page 42.
When flipping back the seat, be sure to maintain a grip on the seat so it does not flip
over the back of the base frame - otherwise damage to the wheelchair may result.
2. Remove the seat. Refer to Removing/Installing the Seat Assembly on page 44.

from the controller and insert the motor connector into the opening in the side shroud

connector into the opening in the side shroud behind the right motor release lever.
