Invacare XTERRA GT User Manual page 15

• Always stop before climbing an obstacle. Approach slowly until castors contact the obstacle.
Apply power and the action of the Sure-Step™ feature will lift the castors over the obstacle.
Weight is transferred to the drive wheels providing traction and motor strength to power the
chair over the obstacle.
• DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorised by Invacare.
• DO NOT stand on the frame of the wheelchair.
TYRE PRESSURE
• DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tyre pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT
overinflate the tyres. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tyre to explode and
cause bodily harm. The recommended tyre pressure is listed on the side wall of the tyre.
BATTERIES
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the use of
•
deep cycle gel cell batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power source for
this unit.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your
•
wheelchair.
ELECTRICAL
Extreme care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electrical circuits.
•
Contact your oxygen supplier for instructions in the safe use of oxygen.
