Use on public roads

If you wish to use your wheelchair on public roads and lighting is required by national legislation,

then your wheelchair needs to be equipped with an appropriate lighting system.

Please contact your Invacare ® dealer if you have any questions.

6.1

The motors of the wheelchair are equipped with automatic brakes, preventing that the wheelchair

starts rolling out of control when the joystick box is switched off. When pushing the wheelchair

manually whilst freewheeling, the magnetic brakes must be disengaged.

Danger of the vehicle running away!

• When the motors are disengaged (for push operation whilst freewheeling), the

electromagnetic motor brakes are deactivated! When the vehicle is parked, the levers for

engaging and disengaging the motors must without fail be locked firmly into the "DRIVE"

position (electromagnetic motor brakes activated)!

NOTE:

The motors may only be disengaged by an attendant, not by the user!

This ensures that the motors are only disengaged if an attendant is available to secure the

wheelchair and prevent unintended rolling.
