RAMPS

WARNING

DO NOT climb, go up or down ramps or traverse slopes greater than 8°.
When negotiating ramps, if the throttle control lever is released while in

FORWARD motion the powered scooter will "ROLLBACK"

approximately one (1) foot before brake engages. If the throttle control

lever is released while in REVERSE motion the powered scooter will

"ROLLBACK" approximately three (3) feet before brake engages.

ELECTRICAL

WARNING

Check to ensure that all electrical connections are secure at all times.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING

DO NOT, under any circumstances, cut or remove the round grounding

prong from any plug. 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 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.

BATTERIES

WARNING

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 recommends their use as the power source for this unit.
Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing,

servicing or operating your wheelchair.
