Safety Cutout

The circuit breakers are located at the front of the front battery box and at the front of the rear battery box
between the two battery boxes. They are designed to operate should a stall condition occur. This happens
when a chair is unable to negotiate an obstacle such as a narrow doorway or a kerb of excessive height. If
one of the breakers operates, it will 'pop' out. To re-set after a circuit breaker operation, pause for a few
minutes then push both battery buttons in. If the circuit breaker continually fails, consult your authorised
INVACARE dealer.
Under certain circumstances, particularly indoor use, care must be taken to ensure safe continual operation
of the motor units. If an obstacle is encountered or, with slow manoeuvring of the castor wheels from the
forward to rear position, continual full operation of the joystick control will result in motor overload and
eventual failure.
To prevent this occurrence, increase the speed to maximum, control the manoeuvre by the joystick control,
always move away from the obstacle, do not continue to drive against it.
