SECTION 1-GENERAL GUIDELINES Before attempting to transfer in or out of the wheelchair, every precaution should be taken to reduce the gap distance. Turn both casters parallel to the object you are transferring onto. Also be certain the power is Off and wheel locks are engaged to prevent the wheels from moving. DO NOT adjust the rear seat posts higher than the front seat posts. Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off switch on the joystick is in the Off position. 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. If signs of wear appear, belt MUST be replaced IMMEDIATELY. Avoid storing or using the wheelchair near open flame or combustible products. Serious injury or damage to property may result. 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. DO NOT remove fuse or mounting hardware from POSITIVE (+) RED battery cable/ mounting screw. All battery terminal covers (two on the front battery and two on the rear battery) MUST be installed prior to use. 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 Ꮨ 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. Use of improper extension cord could result in a risk of fire and electric shock. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock hazard to the user. NEVER attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the battery terminals. DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the wheelchair at the same time. Part No 1141450 15 Pronto® M91™ with SureStep®
