9 Maintenance

9.1 Maintenance introduction

The term "Maintenance" means any task performed to
ensure that a medical device is in good working order
and ready for use as intended. Maintenance encompasses
different areas, such as everyday care and cleaning,
inspection checks, repair tasks and refurbishment.
Have your vehicle checked once a year by an
authorized Invacare provider in order to maintain its
driving safety and roadworthiness.

9.3 Inspection Checks

The following tables list inspection checks that should be performed by the user within the indicated intervals. If the mobility
device fails to pass one of the inspection checks, refer to the chapter indicated or contact your authorized Invacare provider. A
more comprehensive list of inspection checks and instructions for maintenance work can be found in the service manual for this
device, which can be obtained from Invacare. That manual, however, is intended to be used by trained and authorized service
technicians, and describes tasks which are not intended to be performed by the user.
