If any of the instructions is not followed, serious
injuries or damage can occur in an event of a
collision:

performance of the mobility device in normal
use. If it is considered necessary to make these
kinds of alterations, Invacare shall be consulted.
– Only use spill-proof sealed batteries approved
by Invacare.
– It is imperative that the mobility device
