GENERAL GUIDELINES
REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION
Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by individuals certified by
Invacare. The final tuning adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the
wheelchair. Damage to the equipment could occur in these circumstances. If non-certified
individuals perform any work on these units, the warranty is void.
OPERATING INFORMATION
GENERAL WARNINGS
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or
persons fully conversant with the 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 the
specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and re-enter set-up specifications. Repeat
this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.
DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward the direction you are reaching as the
wheelchair might tip over.
DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks/clutches until the power is in the OFF position.
DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.
DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 9°
DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with a water, ice or oil film.
DO NOT attempt to drive over curbs or obstacles. Doing so may cause your wheelchair to turn
over and cause bodily harm or damage to the chair.
DO NOT use any parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorised by Invacare.
DO NOT leave the power ON when entering or exiting your wheelchair.
DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
DO NOT use the footplates as a platform. When getting in or out of the wheelchair, make sure
that the footplates are in the upward position or swing footrests towards the outside of the
chair.
ALWAYS wear your seat-positioning strap. (If supplied)
TIRE PRESSURE
DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I).
DO NOT over inflate 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 sidewall of the tire.
