CAUTION!
Risk of injury and damage to property, if the
maximum speed reduction on a wheelchair
with a lifter does not function correctly
The wheelchair's control unit must reduce the
maximum possible speed as soon as the lifter
is raised.
– Test the maximum speed reduction for
correct function after any maintenance work
or modifications to the wheelchair.
CAUTION!
Any changes to the drive program can affect
the driving characteristics and the tipping
stability of the mobility device
– Changes to the drive program may only be
carried out by trained Invacare providers.
– Invacare supplies all mobility devices with a
standard drive program ex-works. Invacare
can only give a warranty for safe mobility
device driving behavior - especially tipping
stability - for this standard drive program.
Mark all current settings for the mobility device
(seat, armrests, backrest etc.), and the associated
cable connecting plugs, before dismantling. This
makes reassembly easier. All plugs are fitted with
mechanical locks which prevent release of the
connecting plugs during operation. To release the
connecting plugs the safety locks must be pressed
in. When reassembling ensure that these safety
locks are correctly engaged.
