The Lifter - Invacare Storm4 X-plore User Manual

• Please check your belt every week to ensure that it is still in good working condition; to ensure it
has no damage or wear, and that it is fixed properly to the wheelchair. If the belt is only fastened
with a bolted connection, ensure that the connection has not loosened or undone. You can find
more information about maintenance work on belts in the service manual, which is available
from Invacare®.

The Lifter

The electric lifter is operated from the remote. Please refer to the remote manual for more
information.
Information regarding operation of the lifter at temperatures of less than 0 °C
Invacare® mobility aids are fitted with safety mechanisms that prevent capacity overload of the
electronic components. At operating temperatures below freezing point this can, in particular,
lead to the lifter actuator being shut down after approx. 1 second operating time.
The lifter can be raised or lowered gradually by repeatedly operating the joystick. In many cases
this generates sufficient heat for the actuator to operate as normal.
Note - speed limiter
The lifter is fitted with sensors which reduce the mobility device speed as soon as the lifter is
raised above a certain point.
This takes place to guarantee the tipping stability of the mobility device and to avoid damage to
the legrests.
If the speed limit is activated, a corresponding blink code is displayed on the remote or a
reduced drive level is set automatically. Please refer to the remote manual for more information.
To reapply normal speed, run the lifter down until the status display stops blinking.
