SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
15
Tire Pressure
WARNING
DO NOT release the wheelchair for use unless it has proper tire pressure (P.S.I.).
DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these recommendations may cause
the tire to explode and cause bodily harm. The recommended tire pressure is listed
on the side wall of the tire.
Electrical
WARNING
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 and fire.
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 Electrical 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 remove these tags.
Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use of three prong adapters
can result in improper grounding and present a shock hazard to the user.
Batteries
WARNING
The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on
the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed batteries. Invacare strongly recommends
their use as the power source for this unit. Specific terminal configurations
required. Refer to battery section.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing or servicing
the wheelchair.
