SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Performing Maintenance

Refer to Maintenance and Troubleshooting on page 17 for a maintenance schedule and
procedures.
Regular maintenance of lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.
Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness, wear,
debris (such as hair and dirt) and that they roll free.
After the first twelve months of operation, inspect all glides, rollers, and fasteners for
wear. If the metal is worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every six
months thereafter.
The electric motor is sealed at the factory and if service is required, the motor unit MUST
be returned to the factory for repair. DO NOT attempt to open the motor or obtain local
service as this will VOID the warranty and may result in damage and a costly repair.
Consult your dealer or Invacare for further information.

Electrical - Grounding Instructions

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any
plug. 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. Carefully read
battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your lift.
