Replacing the power module

Note
When replacing the power module in connection with a remote, please take the final selection of
the drive program into account as described in chapter 8.2.6.
Different power modules in connection with different remotes can be fitted to the mobility aid. The
possible power modules are described in chapter 4.2.
Replacement is described in the following section based on the example of a mobility aid with an
optional lighting PCB and an optional actuator module.
CAUTION!
Any changes to the drive program can affect the driving characteristics and the tipping
stability of the mobility aid!
· Changes to the drive program may only be carried out by trained Invacare® specialist
dealers!
· Invacare® can only give a warranty for safe mobility aid driving behaviour - especially tipping
stability - for unaltered standard drive programs!
Note
All power modules are delivered with a standard drive program. If you have made any customer-
specific modifications to the drive program, these must be adapted after the installation of the new
power module.
