Invacare® Pronto™ M61 Series with SureStep®
CAUTION!
Risk of tipping over
–
Only ever drive downhill at a maximum of 2/3 of the
top speed. Avoid sudden changes of direction or
abrupt braking when driving on slopes.
–
Always return the backrest of your seat or the seat tilt
(if adjustable seat tilt is available) to an upright position
before ascending slopes. We recommend that you
position the seat backrest or the seat tilt slightly to
the rear before descending slopes.
–
Always lower the lifter (if fitted) to its lowest position
before ascending or descending a slope.
–
Never attempt to ascend or descend a slope on
slippery surfaces or where there is a risk of skidding
(such as wet pavement, ice etc).
–
Avoid trying to get out of the vehicle on an incline
or a gradient.
–
Always drive straight in the direction the road or path
you are on goes, rather than attempting to zigzag.
–
Never attempt to turn around on an incline or a slope.
CAUTION!
Braking distance is much longer on a downhill
slope than on even terrain
–
Never drive down a slope that exceeds the maximum
safe slope (refer to 11 Technical data, page 61).
6.8
Use on public roads
If you wish to use your mobility device on public roads and lighting is
required by national legislation, then your mobility device needs to
be fitted with an appropriate lighting system.
Contact your Invacare dealer if you have any questions.
6.9
Pushing the mobility device in freewheel
mode
The motors of the mobility device are equipped with automatic
brakes, preventing that the mobility device starts rolling out of
control when the remote is switched off. When pushing the mobility
device manually whilst freewheeling, the magnetic brakes must be
disengaged.
Pushing the mobility device by hand may require more
physical force than expected (more than 100 N). The
necessary force nevertheless complies with the requirements
of ISO 7176-14.
6.10
Disengaging motors
CAUTION!
Risk of the mobility device running away
–
When the motors are disengaged (for push operation
whilst freewheeling), the electromagnetic motor
brakes are deactivated. When the mobility device is
parked, the levers for engaging and disengaging the
motors must without fail be locked firmly into the
"DRIVE" position (electromagnetic motor brakes
activated).
The motors may only be disengaged by an attendant, not
by the user.
This ensures that the motors are only disengaged if an
attendant is available to secure the mobility device and
prevent unintended rolling.
The levers for disengaging the motors are located on each motor.
