SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES WARNING SECTION 1 - GENERAL GUIDELINES contains important information for the safe operation and use of this product. DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading and understanding these instructions and any additional instructional material such as Owner’s Manuals, Service Manuals or Instruction Sheets supplied with this product or optional equipment.
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Tire Pressure DO NOT release wheelchair from service unless it has the 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 Grounding Instructions DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding prong from any plug used with or for Invacare products.
SECTION 2—EMI INFORMATION SECTION 2—EMI INFORMATION WARNING CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR.
SECTION 2—EMI INFORMATION WARNING Powered Wheelchair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very close to the powered wheelchair's control system while using these devices. This can affect powered wheelchair movement and braking.
SECTION 3—SAFETY INSPECTION/TROUBLESHOOTING SECTION 3—SAFETY INSPECTION/ TROUBLESHOOTING Safety Inspection Checklists These adjustments should be made whenever this product is serviced, especially as part of the initial unit setup. Follow these procedures: Inspect/Adjust CAUTION As with any vehicle, the wheels and tires should be checked periodically for cracks and wear, and should be replaced. ❑ Ensure wheelchair rolls straight (no excessive drag or pull to one side).
