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. Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or  operating your wheelchair. Charging Batteries DANGER When using an extension cord, use only a three wire extension cord having at least 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected.

  • Page 13: Grounding Instructions

    SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES 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 and fire. 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. Rain Test Invacare has tested its power wheelchairs in accordance with ISO 7176 “Rain Test.” This  provides the end user or his/her assistant sufficient time to remove his/her power  wheelchair from a rain storm and retain wheelchair operation. DO NOT leave power wheelchair in a rain storm of any kind. DO NOT use power wheelchair in a shower. DO NOT store power wheelchair in a damp area for an extended period of time. Direct exposure to excessive rain or dampness may cause the chair to malfunction  electrically and mechanically, may cause the chair to prematurely rust or may damage the  upholstery. Check to ensure that the RED and GREY battery terminal caps are secured in place,  joystick boot is not torn or cracked where water can enter and that all electrical  connections are secure at all times. DO NOT use the wheelchair if the joystick boot is torn or cracked. If the joystick boot  becomes torn or cracked, replace immediately. Weight Training Invacare does not recommend the use of its wheelchairs as a weight training apparatus.  Invacare wheelchairs have not been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight  training. If occupant uses said wheelchair as a weight training apparatus, Invacare shall  not be liable for bodily injury and the warranty is void. Weight Limitation The M51 and M61 wheelchairs with SureStep have a weight limitation of 300 lbs.

  • Page 16: Section 3-Safety/Handling Of Wheelchairs

    “Safety and Handling” of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the wheelchair  user as well as the assistant. This manual points out the most common procedures and  techniques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the 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 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 the new wheelchair  user and assistant with “safety” as the most important consideration for all. Stability and Balance WARNING ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts.

  • Page 18: A Note To Wheelchair Assistants

    A Note to Wheelchair Assistants When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body  mechanics. Keep your back straight and bend your knees whenever tilting wheelchair or  traversing curbs or other impediments. Also, be aware of detachable parts such as arms or legrests. These must NEVER be used  to move the wheelchair or as 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. Pinch Points M61 WHEELCHAIRS ONLY - Pinch point may occur when lowering the elevating seat. Make sure the hands and body of both the occupant and attendants/bystanders are clear of all pinch points before lowering seat.

    Joystick The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that further the joystick is pushed  from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair or seat moves. Your top  speed, however, is limited by the programmed settings. To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has  automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections. Charger/Programming Input The charger/programming input is located at the front of the joystick housing. This  provides easy access for charging the wheelchair batteries. This port also serves as the  Remote Programmer Communication connection. Driving is prevented while the system  is charging.
