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 recep-
tacle 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.
