    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 wheelchair.  Damage to the equipment could occur if improperly set‐up or adjusted.  Except for programming, DO NOT service or adjust the wheelchair while occupied,  unless otherwise noted. A pinch point exists between head tube cap and walking beam.  A pinch point exists between walking beam/head tube cap and telescoping tube when  TDX is at the lowest seat to floor height. Before adjusting, repairing or servicing the wheelchair, ALWAYS turn the wheelchair  power Off, otherwise, injury or damage may occur. 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. Transport ready packages are not retrofittable to existing models and are not field  serviceable.  Wheelchairs should be examined during maintenance for signs of corrosion (water  exposure, incontinence, etc.). Electrical components damaged by corrosion should be  replaced IMMEDIATELY. Wheelchairs that are used by incontinent users and/or are frequently exposed to water  may require replacement of electrical components more frequently. For optimum performance, replace gas‐locking cylinders every 2 years. Operation Information Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or ...
  • Page 14 SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles greater than 2‐3/8 inches (60mm). Doing  so may cause your wheelchair to turn over and cause bodily harm or damage to the  wheelchair. ALWAYS stop before climbing an obstacle. Approach slowly until casters  contact the obstacle. Apply power and the action of the SureStep feature will lift the  casters over the obstacle. Weight is transferred to the drive wheels providing traction and  motor strength to power the wheelchair over the obstacle. 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 water, ice or oil film. DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair. DO 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 wheelchair. DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in your seat.  DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to 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 wheelchair to tip over. ALWAYS shift your weight in the direction you are turning. DO NOT shift your weight  in the opposite direction of the turn. Shifting your weight in the opposite direction of the  turn may cause the inside drive wheel to lose traction and the wheelchair to tip over. DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the  wheelchair and/or seating system (if any) may tip over. DO NOT use an escalator to move a wheelchair between floors. Serious bodily injury may  occur. 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 wheelchair. NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair unattended on an incline. DO NOT attempt to stop a moving wheelchair with the wheel locks. Wheel locks are not  brakes.

  • Page 69: Charging Batteries

    There are some basic concepts which will help you understand this automatic process.  They are: The amount of electrical current drawn within a given time to charge a battery is called  the “charge rate”. If, due to usage, the charge stored in the battery is low, the charge rate  is high, as indicated by the GREEN light on the charger. Initially, the GREEN light will  stay illuminated for a short period of time followed by a longer period of off time. As a  charge builds up, the charge rate is reduced, and the GREEN light will stay illuminated  for a longer period of time followed by a shorter off time.  WARNING NEVER leave the charger unattended when the breaker has tripped. A fault condi- tion exists. Unplug and discontinue using immediately. Contact an Invacare dealer. Part No 1149267 TDX® SC TDX® Spree...

Wait until charging is complete. NOTE: Allow eight hours for normal charging. Larger batteries (greater than 55 ampere‐hours) or  severely discharged batteries may require up to sixteen hours to be properly charged and equalized. NOTE: It is advantageous to recharge frequently rather than only when necessary. In fact, a  battery’s life is extended if the charge level is maintained well above a low condition. NOTE: If the batteries need to be charged more often or take longer to charge than normal, they  may need to be replaced. Contact an Invacare dealer for service.
