Safety And Installation Instructions - Invacare G40 Service Manual

1.0 Safety and installation instructions

The safety instructions are provided in the interests of working safety and must under all circumstances be
complied with.
Prior to all inspection and repair work:
• Read this service manual and the appertaining user manual.
• Ensure that minimum qualifications for performing relevant work are fulfilled (see chapter entitled "General
information").
Caution:
• Note that some components are heavy. You should take this into account above all when removing
the batteries.
• The power supply for the wheelchair must be switched off before any conductive parts are removed.
Remove the batteries.
• When performing tests on conductive parts, ensure that the contacts are not short-circuited.
• Only use tools which are in perfect working order and are not damaged.
During work and assembly:
• Mark the current settings of the wheelchair (seat, armrests, back etc.) and the combination of cable connec-
tions before carrying out disassembly work. This will make assembly an easier task afterwards.
ACHTUNG:
• Support the raised wheelchair with suitable supports before you begin assembly. Use the bottom tube
. frames of the chassis. Also see the illustration G40, bottom view, chapter 6.0.
• You should under no circumstances use "normal" nuts instead of self-locking nuts.
• Always use correctly-sized washers or separators.
Note:
• All plug connectors are fitted with mechanical clamps which prevent slipping when the wheelchair is in
operation.
• These clamps must be pressed in to release the connectors.
• When carrying out assembly work, ensure that the clamps are fitted properly.
• For checks and repair works you can fold up the seat system and arrest. This position is called
service position.
Prior to initial use / after repair work:
Caution:
• Check firm mounting of all fastening screws.
• Check that all parts are properly locked in place.
• Check regulation tyre pressure (2.5 bar) before starting the machine.
• Always perform a test-drive after repair work.
