Risk of unintended movement When you send a forward or reverse command, the wheelchair drives forward or reverse at a constant speed and will continue driving at that constant speed until one of the following occurs: - the external stop switch is pressed (refer to 6.15.2 Through external switches, page 62), - the emergency stop is performed (refer to 6.7 Emergency stop, page 53), - an opposite command is received (a reverse command when driving forward or a forward command when driving reverse) or - the Latch Drive Timeout has expired. To avoid potentially dangerous situations Invacare recommends to make yourself familiar with the latched driving mode, especially with the commands to stop the wheelchair. The term command, mentioned in this manual, means the input depending on the type of control, e.g. joystick movements or sip and puff commands. Refer to 6.18.7 Using the Sip and Puff Head Array, page 96 for more information about the Sip and Puff Head Array. By default, latched driving mode is pre-set in combination with a Sip and Puff only and with a Sip and Puff Head Array. For all other types of control, latched driving mode is not a default set-up but can be enabled by your provider. 60126081-A Usage Each drive function can be assigned with a latched driving mode by your provider. There are six latched driving modes, which are indicated on the lower left of the drive screen with the symbols displayed in the table below. 1 Step Up 3 Step Up 5 Step Up 3 Step Up/Down 47
