Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field

tings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding
E
property.

After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs
to the specifications entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT
perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up speci-
fications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.
DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare.
TIRE PRESSURE
DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT overin-
flate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and
cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.
ELECTRICAL
Grounding Instructions:
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any
plug used with or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three-prong
(grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall
receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Elec-
trical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord
having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addition,
Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT re-
move these tags. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing,
servicing or operating your wheelchair.
BATTERIES
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on
the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly
recommends their use as the power source for this unit.
Battery connecting cables are NOT interchangeable. Battery connecting cables with
single fuse setup MUST only be used on wheelchairs with conventional motor/gearbox
assembly. Otherwise, damage may result. Refer to INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERIES
INTO/FROM BATTERY BOX(ES) in PROCEDURE 9 of this manual.
