    SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. Repair or Service Information Set‐up of the Electronics Control Unit is to be performed only by a qualified technician.  The final adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the scooter. Damage  to the equipment could occur if improperly set‐up or adjusted. DO NOT service or adjust your powered scooter while occupied, unless otherwise noted. Scooters should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (water exposure,  incontinence, etc.). Electrical components damaged by corrosion should be replaced  IMMEDIATELY. Scooters that are used by incontinent users and/or are frequently exposed to water may  require replacement of electrical components more frequently. Operation Information Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with  Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not been tested  by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products. Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or  persons fully conversant with this process and the driverʹs capabilities. Incorrect settings  could cause injury to the driver, bystanders and damage to the scooter and to  surrounding property. ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an  option on this scooter (you may order with or without the seat positioning strap),  Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional  safeguard for the scooter user. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It is not  designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft  safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt must be replaced immediately.
  • Page 10 SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed. Failure  to observe the warning can cause the scooter to tip over and may result in injury to user  and/or damage to the product. DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with water, ice or oil film. Avoid operating the scooter in dark or poorly lit areas. DO NOT climb and/or go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 8°. When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while in the forward  motion, the powered scooter will roll back approximately one foot before the brake  engages. If the throttle control lever is released while in the reverse motion, the powered  scooter will roll back approximately three feet before the brake engages. DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your powered  scooter to turn over and cause bodily harm and/or damage to the scooter. DO NOT use an escalator to move a powered scooter between floors. Serious bodily  injury may occur. Powered scooter with batteries and seat weighs 158 lbs. Use proper lifting techniques (lift  with your legs) to avoid injury. Before attempting to sit in or exit the powered scooter, remove the key from the ignition.  This will ensure that the power is off and the powered scooter will not drive. DO NOT remove the key or shut off while the powered scooter is in motion. Remove the key from the ignition while the powered scooter is not in use so as to avoid  injury and/or damage to the scooter and surrounding areas.  DO NOT attempt to lift the powered scooter by any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting  by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a powered scooter may result in injury  to the user or damage to the powered scooter. DO NOT attempt to lift the powered scooter by its tiller, seat or shrouds. DO NOT stand on the frame of the powered scooter. DO NOT stand on the shroud(s) of the powered scooter. DO NOT operate the powered scooter without the rear shroud installed, to avoid injury  and/or damage to scooter. Before use, ensure that the front frame assembly properly engages the rear frame  assembly pins and that the release lever is locked. Otherwise, injury and/or damage may  result. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up  from the floor by reaching between your knees. DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery to reach objects behind you, as this may  cause the powered scooter to tip over. DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the ...

    SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Determine and establish your particular safety limits by practicing bending, reaching and  transferring activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional before  attempting active use of the powered scooter. For individuals with balance problems, DO NOT attempt to transfer into or out of the  powered scooter without assistance. Practice transferring activities with an assistant in  the presence of a qualified healthcare professional.  Ensure that the seat is properly locked before use. Otherwise the user may fall from the  scooter resulting in bodily harm. Attempting unsafe transfers may cause the user to fall,  resulting in serious injury. Ensure that the seat is locked in the forward position before and during the operation of  the scooter. Otherwise, injury to the user and/or damage to the scooter may result. Ensure that the tiller is properly adjusted before driving the scooter. After making any tiller angle adjustment and before use, the tiller must be securely locked  into position. Otherwise the user may fall from the scooter resulting in bodily harm and/ or damage to the scooter. Gently push/pull the tiller to ensure that the tiller is securely  engaged. DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could cause damage to the  frame tubing. ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury. ALWAYS check hand grips for looseness before using the powered scooter. If loose and/ or worn, replace immediately. If scooter is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity  and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure handgrips DO NOT twist on scooter handles.  Otherwise, damage or injury may occur. Avoid storing or using the scooter near open flame or combustible products. Serious  injury or damage to property may result. Never leave an unoccupied scooter on an incline. ALWAYS use anti‐tippers. When outdoors on wet, soft ground or on gravel surfaces,  anti‐tippers may not provide the same level of protection against tip over. Extra caution  MUST be observed when traversing such surfaces.

  • Page 12: Batteries

    SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Grounding Instructions DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any  plug used with or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three‐prong  (grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two‐prong wall  receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer  to contact a qualified electrician and have the two‐prong receptacle replaced with a  properly grounded three‐prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Electrical  Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three‐wire extension cord having  the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addition, Invacare  has placed RED/ORANGE warning tags on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. Batteries The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the  use of deep cycle gel cell batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power  source for this unit. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or  operating your powered scooter. Rain Test Invacare has tested its powered scooters in accordance with ISO 7176 “Rain Test”. This  provides the end user or his/her attendant sufficient time to remove his/her power  powered scooter from a rain storm and retain powered scooter operation. DO NOT leave the powered scooter in a rain storm of any kind. DO NOT use the powered scooter in a shower.  DO NOT leave the powered scooter in a damp area for any length of time. Direct exposure to rain or dampness will cause the scooter to malfunction electrically and  mechanically; may cause the powered scooter to prematurely rust. Check to ensure that all electrical connections are secure at all times. Weight Training Invacare does not recommend the use of its powered scooters as a weight training  apparatus. Invacare powered scooters have not been designed or tested as a seat for any  kind of weight training. If occupant uses said powered scooter as a weight training  apparatus, Invacare shall not be liable for bodily injury and the warranty is void. Weight Limitation The weight limitation is 300 lbs.
