S U M M A R

CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR.

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave sources Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to as pow-

ered 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 cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair's control system. The intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its "immunity level." The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level, which would provide useful protec-

tion from the more common sources of radiated EMI.

W ARNING

A L

G U

E L

E S

There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid. Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by following the warnings listed, your risk to EMI will be minimized.

The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:

1) Hand-held Portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers with the antenna mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB) radios, "walkie talkie," security, fire, And police transceivers, cellular telephones, and other personal communication devices. **NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON, even when not being used;

2) Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks, ambulances, and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of the vehicle; and

3) Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM) radios.

GENERAL GUIDELINESPROCEDURE 1

W ARNING

NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers, AM

A L

E L

E S

FM radios, TV sets, CD players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to your powered wheelchair.

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. Therefore, the warnings listed are recommended to prevent possible interference with the control system of the powered wheelchair.

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters. Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of unintended brake release or powered wheelchair movement which could result in serious injury.

1) Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters receivers), such as citizens band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular phones, while the powered wheelchair is turned ON;

2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid coming close to them;

3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair OFF as soon as it is safe;

4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no easy way to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair); and

5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.

Important Information

1) 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level against EMI (as of May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater the protection);

2) The immunity level of this product is not known.

Modification of any kind to the electronics of this wheelchair as manufactured by Invacare may adversely affect the RFI immunity levels.

GENERAL GUIDELINESPROCEDURE 1

SAFETY/HANDLING OF SEATING SYSTEMS/WHEELCHAIRS

Safety and Handling of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the seating system/wheelchair user as well as the assistant. This manual, as well as the owners manual provided with the wheelchair, points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the seating system/wheelchair. It is important to practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering around the frequently encountered architectural barriers.

Use this information only as a basic guide. The techniques that are discussed on the following pages have been used successfully by many.

Individual seating system/wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may differ from those described in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encourages each individual to try what works best for him/ her in overcoming architectural obstacles that they may encounter, however, ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be followed. Techniques in this manual are a starting point for new seating system/ wheelchair users and assistants with safety as the most important consideration for all.

Also, be aware of any detachable parts. These must NEVER be used for hand-hold or lifting supports, as they may be inadvertently released, resulting in possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s).

When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced assistant help you before attempting it alone.

Percentage of Weight Distribution

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.

Many activities require the wheelchair owner to reach, bend and transfer in and out of the wheelchair. These movements will cause a change to normal balance, center of gravity, and weight distribution of the wheelchair. To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified health professional BEFORE attempting active use of the wheelchair.

Proper positioning is essential for your safety. When reaching, leaning, bending or bending forward, it is important to use the front casters as a tool to maintain stability and balance.

E N E R

I D E

I N E S

Stability and Balance

WARNING

Always wear your seat positioning strap.

To assure stability and proper operation of your seating system/wheelchair, you must at all times maintain proper balance. Your seating system/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 seating system/wheelchair any further than the length of the armrests. Make sure the casters are pointing in the forward position whenever you lean forward. This can be achieved by advancing the wheelchair and then reversing it in a straight line.

Coping With Everyday Obstacles

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.

A Note to Wheelchair Assistants

When assistance to the seating system/wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body mechanics. Keep your back straight and bend your knees.

GENERAL GUIDELINESPROCEDURE 1

Transferring To/From Other Seats

A L

G U

E L

E S

BEFORE attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters toward the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain to engage motor locks to help prevent the wheels from moving.

When transferring, position yourself as far back as possible in the seat. This will prevent broken screws, damaged upholstery and the possibility of the wheelchair tipping forward.

NOTE: This activity may be performed independently provided you have adequate mobility and upper body strength.

ATTEMPT TO REACH OBJECTS IF YOU HAVE TO PICK THEM UP FROM THE FLOOR BY REACHING DOWN BETWEEN YOUR KNEES.

Reaching, Bending - Backwards

WARNING

DO NOT lean over the top of the back upholstery. This will change your center of gravity and may cause you to tip over.

Position the wheelchair as close as possible along side the seat to which you are transferring, with the casters aligned parallel with the object. Engage motor locks. Shift body weight into seat with transfer.

During independent transfer, little or no seat platform will be beneath you. Use a transfer board if at all possible.

Position wheelchair as close as possible to the desired object. Point front casters forward to create the longest possible wheelbase. Reach back only as far as your arm will extend without changing your sitting position.

OPTIONAL VERNIER SHEAR REDUCTION

About Vernier Shear Reduction (VSR)

WARNING

The relationship between Vernier Shear Reduction (VSR) and the recline function of the seating system is dependant on the needs of the user and MUST be set and adjusted by a trained authorized Invacare Dealer.

Have the relationship between Vernier Shear Reduction (VSR) and the recline function of the seating system periodically inspected to maintain proper setting for the user. Otherwise, injury to the user may result.

Vernier Shear Reduction (VSR) moves the back of the seating system along with the recline function. VSR reduces shear between the user and the seating system as the seating system reclines.

3. Push four-way toggle switch towards the left of the wheelchair until the desired VSR is achieved.

NOTE: Left and right is determined by sitting in the wheelchair.

NOTE: The four-way toggle switch will alternate functions (move VSR actuator UP, move VSR actuator DOWN) after it has been released to the neutral position for a minimum of one (1) second.

NOTE: If the wheelchair is equipped with switch options, scan to the correct ECU or Auxiliary Mode and activate the control device in the corresponding left direction to operate the VSR function. Refer to the MKIV owner's manual, part number 1043576 for complete switch option operating instructions.

4. Return the back to the position noted in STEP 2 BEFORE changing the degree of recline.

Switch (Shown in Neutral Position)

S H E A R

R E D U C

NOTE: VSR is electronically linked to the recline function of the seating system and operating the recline function automatically activates VSR.

VSR function can also be used independently from the recline function to allow for a change in seating position or access to additional seating system options. Refer to ING VERNIER SHEAR REDUCTION (VSR) INDEPENDENTLY OF RECLINE FUNCTION in this procedure of the manual.

US-

Using Vernier Shear Reduction (VSR) Independently of Recline Function (FIGURE 1)

WARNING

The back of the seating system MUST be returned to original position BEFORE the degree of recline is changed (increased or decreased). Otherwise, the relationship between Vernier Shear Reduction (VSR) and the recline function of the seating system will change, possibly resulting in injury to the user.
