User Inputs; The Lifter - Invacare TDX SP2 Series User Manual

Invacare® TDX® SP2 Series

3.5 User Inputs

Your mobility device may be fitted with one of several
different user inputs. For information on the different
functions and how to operate a particular user input, refer
to its corresponding user manual (enclosed).

3.6 The Lifter

The electric lifter is operated from the remote. Refer to the
remote manual for more information.
Information regarding operation of the lifter at
temperatures of less than 0 °C
• Invacare mobility devices are fitted with safety
mechanisms that prevent capacity overload
of the electronic components. At operating
temperatures below freezing point this can, in
particular, lead to the lifter actuator being shut
down after approx. 1 second operating time.
• The lifter can be raised or lowered gradually by
repeatedly operating the joystick. In many cases
this generates sufficient heat for the actuator
to operate as normal.

Speed limiter
The speed limit reacts in different ways, depending
on the mobility device's configuration.
• Either the lifter is fitted with sensors which
reduce the mobility device's speed as soon as
the lifter is raised above a certain point.
• Or if the speed limit is activated, a reduced drive
level (forced profile) is set automatically. Refer
to the remote manual for more information.
• The speed reduction takes place to guarantee
the tipping stability of the mobility device
and to avoid personal risk and damage to the
mobility device.
• To reapply normal speed, lower the lifter down
until the forced profile or the speed reduction
switches off.
• If the mobility device is fitted with a chin
control, it reacts different to forced profile.
Refer to the manual of the chin control for
more information.
CAUTION!
Risk of tipping, if the speed limiter sensors fail
when the lifter is raised
– If you find that the speed reduction function is
not working when the lifter is raised, do not
drive with the lifter raised and immediately
contact an authorized Invacare provider.
