WHEELCHAIR USER As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of

Action wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.

WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS Invacare recommends that wheelchair users NOT be transported in vehicles of any

kind while in wheelchairs. As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any type.

It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any wheelchair transportation systems.

AS REGARDS RESTRAINTS - SEAT POSITIONING STRAPS - IT IS THE OBLIGATION OF THE DME DEALER, THERAPISTS AND OTHER HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS TO DETERMINE IF A SEATING POSITIONING STRAP IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE THE SAFE OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT BY THE USER.

Repair or Service Information

Operating Information

E N E R A L

I D E L

I N E S

REPAIR OR SERVICE INFORMATION Set-up of the Electronic Control Unit is to be performed ONLY by individuals certified by Invacare. The final tuning adjustments of the controller may affect other activities of the wheelchair. Damage to the equipment could occur under these circumstances. If non-certified individuals perform any work on these units, the warranty is void.

OPERATING INFORMATION

Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding property.

After the wheelchair has been set-up, check to make sure that the wheelchair performs to the specifications entered during the set-up procedure. If the wheelchair does NOT perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF immediately and reenter set-up specifications. Repeat this procedure until the wheelchair performs to specifications.

GENERAL GUIDELINESPROCEDURE 1

GENERAL WARNINGS

DO NOT use parts, accessories, or adapters other than those authorized by Invacare.

TIRE PRESSURE DO NOT use your wheelchair unless it has the proper tire pressure (P.S.I.). DO NOT overinflate the tires. Failure to follow these suggestions 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. 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. In addition, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE WARNING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your wheelchair.

BATTERIES 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.

Battery connecting cables are NOT interchangeable. Battery connecting cables with single fuse setup MUST only be used on wheelchairs with conventional motor/gearbox assembly. Otherwise, damage may result. Refer to INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERIES INTO/FROM BATTERY BOX(ES) in PROCEDURE 9 of this manual.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE 2

This Procedure Includes the Following: Field Load Test Using Hydrometer To Check Battery Cells (Lead

Acid) Motor Testing Motor Brush Inspection Electro-Mechanical Parking Brake Testing

FIELD LOAD TEST (FIGURE 1)

NOTE: The following test can also be performed through the controller of the wheelchair along with a remote programmer. Refer to the individual CONTROLLER MANUAL supplied with each wheelchair.

Old batteries lose their ability to store and release power, due to increased internal resistance. This means that as you try to take power from the battery, some of that power is used up in the process of passing through the battery , resulting in less voltage at the posts. The more power drawn, the lower the voltage available. When this lost voltage drops the output 1.0 volts under load (2.0 for a pair), replace the batteries.

4. Place the voltmeter leads into the charger plug on the wheelchair. Most digital voltmeters are not af fected by polarity , however, analog meters (meters with swinging needles) can be and should be used carefully . A good meter reading should be 25.5 to 26 VDC.

5. Have two (2) individuals (one [1] on each arm) apply as much downward pressure as possible on the arms of the wheelchair.

6. Turn the wheelchair ON and push the joystick forward, trying to drive the wheelchair through the stationary object. This puts a heavy load on the batteries as they try to push through the stationary object. Read the meter while the motors are straining to determine the voltage under load.

NOTE: If the voltage drops to less than 23.5 volts from a pair of fully charged batteries while under load, they should be replaced regardless of the unloaded voltages.

Testing under load is the only way to spot this problem. While special battery load testing equipment is available, it is costly and difficult to transport.

Use a digital voltmeter to check battery charge level at the charger connector. It is located on the base of the wheelchair frame.

NOTE: READ the instructions CAREFULL Y before using the digital voltmeter.

NOTE: Invacare recommends that ONLY qualified ser- vice personnel perform this test.

1. Ensure that power is OFF.

2. Make sure battery is fully charged. An extremely discharged battery will exhibit the same symptoms as a bad one.

3. Remove the footrests from the wheelchair and perform one (1) of the following: A. RWD MODELS - place the CASTERS of the

wheelchair against a wall, workbench or other stationary object.

B. MWD MODELS - place the STABILIZER

wheels of the wheelchair against a wall, workbench or other stationary object.

NOTE: Perform this procedure when a digital voltmeter is not available.

WARNING

NEVER smoke or strike a match near the batteries. If the caps of the battery cells are removed, NEVER look directly into them when charging the battery.

The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles or face shields is recommended when working with batteries.

low any liquid to come in contact with your eyes or skin. It is a form of acid and can cause serious burns, and in some cases, blindness. If you do get battery acid on you, flush the exposed areas with cool water IMMEDIATELY. If the acid comes into contact with eyes or causes serious burns, get medical help IMMEDIATELY.

The battery acid can damage your wheelchair, clothing, and household items. Therefore, take readings cautiously and only in designated areas.

ONLY use distilled water when topping off the battery cells.

Most batteries are not sold with instructions. However, warnings are frequently noted on the cell caps. Read them carefully.

1. Remove the battery box(es). Refer to REMOVING BA TTERY BOXES - GROUP 24 BA TTERY BASE FRAMES or INST ALLING/REMOVING BA TTERY BOX - GROUP 22 BATTERY BASE FRAMES in PROCEDURE 9 of this manual.

2. Remove the battery caps from the battery .

MOTOR TESTING (FIGURE 3)

NOTE: This procedure should only be performed on wheelchairs with the conventional motor/gearbox assembly . For gearless/brushless motors, there are no serviceable parts. Return motor to manufacturer for testing.

NOTE: DO NOT fill hydrometer more than 3/4 full.

8. Flush the liquid back into the same cell after reading the float. Repeat this step until all cells have been properly read. A shorted or dead cell can be detected when it is the only cell that does not charge.

1. On the 4-pin motor connector , locate the two (2) contacts in the red and black housings.

2. Set the digital multimeter to measure ohms (Ω).

3. Measure the resistance between the two (2) motor contacts.

NOTE: A normal reading is between 1 and 5 ohms (Ω). A reading of 0 ohms (Ω) or in excess of 15 ohms (Ω) indicates a problem. High readings are generally caused by bad connections and/or damaged brushes. Contact authorized dealer or Invacare.

FIGURE 3 - MOTOR TESTING

MOTOR BRUSH INSPECTION (FIGURE 4)

NOTE: This procedure should only be performed on wheelchairs with conventional motor/gearbox assembly .

There are two (2) contact brushes on ACTION STORM motors located under the brush caps on the motor housing. If these caps are hard to remove they are either overtightened or the motor has become very hot. Let motors cool. If caps still cannot be removed, it is recommended that the motor be sent to Invacare T echnical Services for inspection/repair.

NOTE: It is very important to note which way the brush comes out of the motor. The brush MUST be placed into the motor exactly the same way to ensure good contact with the commutator.

1. Once the motor brush caps have been removed, pull the brushes out of the motor. The end of the brushes should be smooth and shiny and the spring should not be damaged or discolored. If one or both of the brushes are damaged, only the damaged or worn brushes need be replaced. It is very important that any time a brush is replaced, it must be “burned in”. This is accomplished by running the motor for one hour in each direction with a half hour break in-between. This should also be done with little or no load on the motor, i.e., put the wheelchair up on blocks so the drive (large) wheels do not contact the ground and run the wheelchair. A motor with only one brush replaced will only carry a small percentage of its rated load capacity until the NEW brush is burned in.

1. On the four-pin motor connector, locate the side by side connectors in the black housings.

2. Set the digital multimeter to read ohms (Ω).

3. Measure the resistance between the two (2) brake contacts. A normal reading is 100 ohms (Ω). A reading of 0 ohms (Ω) or a very high reading; i.e., MEG ohms or O.L. (out of limit) indicates a shorted brake or an open connection respectively . If either condition exists, send the motor to Invacare T echnical Service for inspection/repair.

CAUTION

A shorted electro-mechanical brake will damage the brake output section in the controller. DO NOT connect a shorted electromechanical brake to a good controller module. A shorted brake MUST be replaced.

NOTE: A bad motor can damage the controller module but a bad controller will NOT damage a motor.
