Electrical

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 AGM 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 wheelchair.
