Electromagnetic Interference EMI From Radio Wave Sources Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters in this text, both will be referred to as powered wheelchairs may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference EMI , which is interfering electromagnetic energy EM emitted from sources such as radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio HAM transmitters, two way radios, and Page 16 2 This device has been tested to a radiated immunity level of 20 volts per meter; 3 The immunity level of the product is unknown.
Modification of any kind to the electronics of this wheelchair as manufactured by Invacare may adversely affect the EMI immunity levels. This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the wheelchair. It is important to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering around the frequently encountered architectural barriers.
The techniques that are discussed on the following pages have been used successfully by many. Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ from those described in this manual. Your wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and stable during normal daily activities as long as you do not move beyond the center of gravity.
DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests. Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be alleviated somewhat by learning how to manage your wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability and balance. The chair cannot reverse over the bump at this point. Continue forward and then turn around. While the wheelchair is designed for use 1-inch Bump primarily in and around the home, the or Threshold provider should determine whether this chair is suitable for the actual environment the chair will be used in.

Replace if corroded or damaged. Batteries not charging. Charger not working. Have charger replaced. Battery connections loose. Check all connections. Secure connections. No current at wall outlet. Switch to another wall outlet. Bad connection on charger, When a fault is detected, the wheelchair may stop and not drive.
The LEDs on the information gauge may flash in a particular pattern or the service indicator light will flash. The number or type of flashes indicates the nature of the error. If multiple errors are found, only the first error encountered by the control module will be displayed.
Power is off. All LEDs are on. Power is on. Fewer than three LEDs on implies reduced battery charge. Incompatible or Wrong type of remote connected. Set-up of the Electronics Control Unit is to be performed only by a qualified techni- cian. The joystick is located at the front of the joystick housing and provides smooth control of speed and direction. It is equipped with degrees of mobility for ease of operation. Pushing the joystick in a given direction causes the wheelchair to move in that direction.
The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further it is pushed from the upright neutral position, the faster the wheelchair moves. The maximum speed, however, is limited by the speed control setting. To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections.
When first learning to drive, select a slow speed and try to drive the wheelchair as slowly as possible by pushing the joystick slightly forward. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly. To drive the wheelchair, perform the following: 1. Adjust the speed. Refer to Speed Control Buttons on page Turn the power on. It is used to turn the wheelchair The larger bars in the speedometer will light.
Press and hold both the tortoise button and hare button until the joystick beeps. The smaller bars in the speedometer will light. Joystick The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that further the joystick is pushed from the upright neutral position, the faster the wheelchair moves. Your top speed, Refer to Diagnostic Codes in Electronics manual for a listing of the flash codes and what they indicate. Recharge batteries before taking a long trip. Recharge batteries as soon as possible.
The Information Gauge display also serves as a system diagnostic device when a fault is detected by the control module. A specific number of flashes of the LEDs indicate the type of fault detected. Loosen the two lock knobs that secure the arms to the arm support tube. NOTE: Both arms should be adjusted to the same distance away from the arm support tube. NOTE: Changing the width of the arms may also affect the overall width of the wheelchair. Reposition the arms until desired width is achieved.
Securely tighten the two lock knobs that secure the arms to the arm support tube. Fold Down Back seats adjusts the same way. Remove the lock knob that secures the armrest to the arm frame assembly. Adjust the armrest to one of five positions.
Reinstall the lock knob that secures the armrest to the arm frame assembly and tighten securely. Lift up on the release handle and adjust seat to desired angle. Let go of the release handle to lock the back in position. To raise the headrest, lift the headrest up to the desired position. To lower the headrest, push the release tab towards the front of the wheelchair.
