Operating Information

REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION
Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by
individuals certified by Invacare. The final tuning adjustments of the
controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair. Damage to the
equipment could occur under these circumstances. If non-certified
individuals perform any work on these units, the warranty is void.
OPERATING INFORMATION
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the
healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and the
driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver,
bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding property.
After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the
wheelchair performs to the specifications entered during the set-up
SECTION. If the wheelchair does NOT perform to specifications, turn the
wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up specifications. Repeat this
SECTION until the wheelchair performs to specifications.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil
film.
DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles greater than 2-inches in
height. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily
harm or damage to the chair.
Always stop before climbing an obstacle. Approach slowly until casters
contact the obstacle. Apply power and the action of the Sure-Step™feature
will lift the casters over the obstacle. Weight is transferred to the drive
wheels providing traction and motor strength to power the chair over the
obstacle.
DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized
by Invacare.
DO NOT leave the power button ON when entering or exiting your
wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the
wheelchair, make sure that the footplates are in the upward position or
swing footrests towards the outside of the chair.
