SECTION 10—SAFETY INSPECTION/TROUBLESHOOTING
Part No 1125031

Post-Service Inspection Checklist
WARNING
Risk of Death or Serious Injury
NEVER operate the wheelchair or elevate/lower the seat while in any tilted/
reclined/back angle position over 20° relative to the vertical position. If the drive
lock-out does not stop the wheelchair from operating or the seat from elevating/
lowering in a tilt/recline/back angle position over 20° relative to vertical, DO NOT
operate the wheelchair or elevate/lower the seat. The drive lock-out settings MUST
be adjusted. Refer to Adjusting/Replacing the Drive Lockout Sensor on page 134.
The wheelchair user MUST have a clear line of sight to drive safely. On initial chair
delivery and after adjusting the back angle, drive lock-out switch tilt system or
recline system, tilt and recline the seat back to the farthest driving position
IMMEDIATELY before drive lock-out engages and ensure there is a clear line of
sight present in which to drive the wheelchair. If a clear line of sight is not present,
have the back angle repositioned or readjust the lockout angle such that safe driving
with a clear line of sight is achieved.
WARNING
ALWAYS test all wheelchair functions after securing the cables to be sure cables do
not get pinched or crushed during operation of the wheelchair.
Cables MUST be secured to the wheelchair frame and/or base with tie-wraps after
servicing is complete. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions listed below
will result in injury to the users, attendants and/or bystanders and/or damage to the
wheelchair.
Cables MUST be secured so there are no loops of excess cable extending away from
the wheelchair. Bundle all excess cable together and secure with a tie-wrap. It may
also be necessary to secure these bundles to the frame and/or base.
Follow this checklist after service has been completed and cables have been secured:
❑
Verify all attaching hardware is tightened securely.
❑
Make sure drive lock-out engages when the wheelchair is in any tilt/back angle
combination over 20° relative to the vertical position.
❑
Cycle system up and down to verify wiring harnesses do not obstruct the path of the
system. If they do, perform one of the following:
• Wires were damaged during inspection - Replace damaged wires.
• Wires were not damaged during inspection - Cut tie-wraps and relocate wires to a
location where they will not become damaged. Refer to Securing the Cables on
page 143.
❑
Ensure there is no interference with the base frame when the system is fully tilted.
❑
With the wheelchair unoccupied, test all system functions to verify proper operation.
❑
Verify charger function.
