6.1.3 REM24 Error Codes and Diagnostic Codes The drive electronics are capable of rectifying some errors automatically. In this case the status display will cease to flash. Please switch the remote on and off several times. Wait approx. 5 seconds each time before switching the remote on again. If this does not rectify the error, locate the error using the flash codes shown below.

Flash code: Meaning: Solution: Notes 9 or 10 x Faulty data • Remove all electronic transmission modules except the Power flashes between modules Module and the Remote. Re-attach modules one by one to determine which one is causing the fault. See "Replacing electronic components"...
Repair Work CAUTION: Risk of damage to the vehicle! Collisions can be caused if shim rings are removed from the drive wheels during installation work! • Shim rings are frequently placed between the drive shaft and the wheel hub to compensate tolerances.

Replacing electronic components Required parts/tools: • Phillips screwdriver • Remove enclosure (1). • Remove all electrical connections (1) from the electronic modules. • The CLAM can be simply pulled vertically out of its holder.
Page 29
• If the power module is to be replaced, this can also be pulled upwards including its retaining frame. • Loosen and remove the three retaining bolts (1) on the power module.
Replacing batteries CAUTION! BURN HAZARD! • Please take care with damaged batteries, or ensure that batteries do not become damaged. Any leaking acid can cause chemical burns to the skin and eyes. • If acid comes into contact with your skin, rinse off with plenty of water immediately. •...

• Pull actuator bolt locking out of belt. • One person lifts the seat upwards, a second person ensures that the actuator bolt head (1) is guided out of the holder and does not jam. • Push the holding mechanism (1) completely to the front so that it engages.
Page 32
• Pull the enclosure forwards. • Loosen the screws (1) on both sides with the 8 mm Allen key and remove them. • Push the bottom actuator holder inwards together with the regulator motor... • ... then lift it (1) and pull completely out the front (2).
Page 33
• Loosen the locking device (1) on the battery locking bar and remove the bar. • Remove the terminal covers from the battery terminals (1). • First, loosen the bolts on the negative terminals (black cable) with the 11 mm jaw spanner.
Page 34
When installing new batteries, cables must never be routed between the front battery and the lifter actuator! If so, they can be damaged when the lifter is operated. WRONG! RIGHT! • Installation takes place in reverse order. Please note The battery terminals on the rear battery must face the rear and terminals on the front battery must face the front.
Page 35
• Lift the seat slightly and loosen the holding mechanism (1). Lower the seat slowly until the lifter weight is resting on the actuator again. • Check all vehicle functions. • Check the new battery status and charge completely.
Replacing the main fuse. CAUTION! Fire hazard! • Only ever use original plate fuses and admissible current strengths. • If the main fuse blows, the cause must be rectified before any new fuse is inserted. Required parts/tools: • ring spanner 8 mm. •...
Page 37
• Open the fuse holder cover (1). • If one of the plate fuses (2) has blown, you must first determine the cause. The main fuse may only be replaced once the problem has been rectified. • Loosen the nuts (1) which hold the plate fuse (2) secure using an 8 mm socket or ring spanner.
Checking the cables • Run the lifter into the top position. • Remove enclosure (1). • Check all cables for signs of damage and breakage. • Pull each plug slightly. It should not disconnect from the socket. • If a plug is loose, push it lightly into the socket again.
• Alterations to the drive programme must only be carried out by trained Invacare®-dealers! • Invacare® can only assume a warranty for the safe vehicle handling of the wheelchair – in particular tipping stability - for unaltered standard drive programmes! •...

Checking an actuator motor Required parts/tools: • Multimeter • Check the actuator motor electrical resistance. If this is approaching infinity, the motor is probably burnt out. If it is below 1Ω the motor probably has a short circuit. The motor must be replaced in both cases.
Adjusting and replacing the speed reduction switch Find out here how you can adjust and replace the switch that reduces the speed when in the upper lifter position. Pre-requisites: • Small pliers • Move the lifter to the upper and lower position several times.
7.10 Replacing the steering head bearings on the front and rear steering wheels CAUTION! Incorrect reassembly can damage the bearings or cause the steering wheels to fall out! • The single-row angular ball bearing rings are not identical on both sides ! For this reason they can only be fixed using one correct method ! You must ensure that the fitting manual is followed correctly ! Required parts/tools:...
• Loosen the nut (1) with the 19 mm socket spanner and remove it. Hold the wheel so that it does not rotate when you remove the nut. • Pull the steering head shaft down and out of the steering head tube. •...

IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY INFORMATION ! The illustrations show the wide border of the rail ring exterior on one side (A) and the narrow border on the interior (B). The bearings must always be mounted so that the narrow rings are placed opposite each other (interior)! The steering head bolts and the nuts must always press against the wide external edges.
