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

or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect
settings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to
surrounding 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
specifications. 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 Electrical 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 remove these tags.
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 recom-
mends their use as the power source for this unit.
