wheelchair.
CAUTION!
Any changes to the drive program can affect the driving characteristics and the tipping stability of the
mobility device
– Changes to the drive program may only be carried out by trained Invacare providers.
– Invacare supplies all mobility devices with a standard drive program ex-works. Invacare can only give a
warranty for safe mobility device driving behavior - especially tipping stability - for this standard drive program.
Mark all current settings for the mobility device (seat, armrests, backrest etc.), and the associated cable connecting
plugs, before dismantling. This makes reassembly easier. All plugs are fitted with mechanical locks which prevent
release of the connecting plugs during operation. To release the connecting plugs the safety locks must be pressed
in. When reassembling ensure that these safety locks are correctly engaged.
