Page 15: Batteries
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES Batteries The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the use of deep cycle gel cell 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. The use of rubber gloves is recommended when working with batteries. Some battery manufacturers mold a carrying strap and/or hold down flanges directly into the battery case. Batteries that interfere with the battery box cannot be used for these applications. Attempting to “wedge” a battery into a battery box may damage the box, the battery and/or be a fire hazard, resulting in serious injury or further damage to property. 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 devise being connected. -
Page 16: 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 BLACK 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.

Page 19: 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 29: Using The Joystick To Drive The Wheelchair
SECTION 5—WHEELCHAIR OPERATION Using the Joystick to Drive the Wheelchair NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 5.2. The joystick is located at the front of the joystick housing and provides smooth control of speed and direction. It is equipped with 360 degrees of mobility for ease of operation. The joystick is spring‐loaded, and automatically returns to the upright (neutral) position when released. Pushing the joystick in a given direction causes the wheelchair to move in that direction. The joystick has proportional drive control, meaning that the further it is pushed from the upright (neutral) position, the faster the wheelchair moves. The maximum speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed‐control knob. To slow the wheelchair to a stop, simply release the joystick. The wheelchair has automatic speed and direction compensation to minimize corrections. When first learning to drive, select a slow speed and try to drive the wheelchair as slowly as possible by pushing the joystick slightly forward. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional control and allow you to start and stop smoothly. To drive the wheelchair, perform the following: 1. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting. 2. Turn the power on. Refer to Turning the Power On/Off on page 28. 3. Maneuver the joystick in the following manner: To Move To Move MOVEMENT ACTION Left Forward FORWARD... -

Questions and answers
i have a pronto m41 what does it mean when the wrench light blinks 9 times
When the wrench light blinks 9 times on an Invacare Pronto M41, it indicates "Faulty data transmission." The solution is to remove electronic modules, except for the power module and the remote, and replace the modules one by one to identify which one is causing the fault. Refer to chapter 8.2 of the manual for further instructions.
