Usage

Can the electronic system programming be adapted?

CAUTION!
Any alteration to the drive programme can
influence vehicle handling and the tipping stability
of the mobility device

Alterations to the drive programme may only be

carried out by trained Invacare dealers.

Invacare supplies all electric vehicles from the factory

with a standard drive programme. Invacare can only
assume a warranty for the safe vehicle handling of the
mobility device – in particular tipping stability - for this
standard drive programme.

The electronic controller is programmed with standard values during
manufacture. Your Invacare dealer can carry out programming
tailored to fit your requirements.

Is the wheelchair not ready to go after switching on?

1.

Check the status display (refer to2.2.3 System status, page 8 ).

2.

If an error code is shown on the status display, you can recognize
and rectify the fault with the help of chapter 4.1 Error diagnosis,
page 21.

3.3.1

How to find out which steering gear your

wheelchair has

In the case of a wheelchair with indirect steering, control takes place
via the separate drive wheel controller. Indirect steering is used for
wheelchairs with front wheel, rear wheel and central drive.

In the case of a wheelchair with direct steering, control takes place
via a servo motor.

The controller for a wheelchair with indirect and direct steering is
described below.

3.3.2

How a wheelchair with "Indirect Steering"

reacts to joystick movements

"Indirect Steering" occurs by individually applying power to the drive
wheels, and is found on wheelchairs with front, rear and middle
wheel drive.

Travel direction

The further the joystick
is moved in a particular
direction, the more
dynamically the wheelchair
reacts.

To brake quickly, simply let go of the joystick. It then
automatically returns to the middle position. The wheelchair
brakes.

3.3.3

How a wheelchair with "Direct Steering" reacts

to joystick movements

Steering is operated by means of a servo motor.
