Elevating the Seat
WARNING
DO NOT operate wheelchair on an incline while in an elevated position. Otherwise,
the wheelchair may tip over and injury or damage may occur.
DO NOT operate the elevate function near or under a fixed object such as a table
or desk.
Pinch points may occur when lowering the elevating seat. Make sure the hands and
body of the occupant, attendants and bystanders are clear of all pinch points before
lowering seat.
Use only the controller supplied with the wheelchair to activate the elevate
function. DO NOT use any other actuator controls. Such devices may result in
excess heating and cause damage to the actuator and associated wiring and could
cause a fire, death, physical injury or property damage. If such devices are used,
Invacare shall not be liable and the limited warranty is void.
The elevated seat option is equipped with a speed reduction safety mechanism.
While the seat is in an elevated position, the safety feature slows the speed of the
wheelchair by 80%. If the wheelchair operates at maximum speed while in an ele-
vated position, DO NOT operate the wheelchair. Have the wheelchair serviced
immediately by a qualified technician.
