WARNING
REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION
Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by Invacare dealers. The
final tuning adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair.
Damage to the equipment could occur under these circumstances. If any individual
other than a qualified technician performs any work on these units, the warranty is void.
OPERATING INFORMATION
GENERAL WARNINGS
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field
or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect set-
tings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding
property.
After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs
to the specifications entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT
perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up speci-
fications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.
DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare.
TIRE PRESSURE
DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT overin-
flate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions may cause the tire to explode and
cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed on the side wall of the tire.
BATTERIES
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on
the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly recom-
mends their use as the power source for this unti.
The use of rubber gloves and safety glasses is recommended when working with bat-
teries.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operat-
ing your wheelchair.
ELECTRICAL
Grounding Instructions:
DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any
plug used with or for Invacare products. Some devices are equipped with three-prong
(grounding) plugs for protection against possible shock hazards. Where a two-prong wall
receptacle is encountered, it is the personal responsibility and obligation of the customer
to contact a qualified electrician and have the two-prong receptacle replaced with a
properly grounded three-prong wall receptacle in accordance with the National Elec-
trical Code. If you must use an extension cord, use ONLY a three-wire extension cord
having the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. In addition,
Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT re-
move these tags. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing,
servicing or operating your wheelchair.
