SECTION 2—EMI INFORMATION
SECTION 2—EMI INFORMATION
ꢀ WARNING
CAUTION: IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS INFORMATION
REGARDING THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
INTERFERENCE ON YOUR POWERED WHEELCHAIR.
Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio Wave Sources
Powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters (in this text, both will be referred to
as powered wheelchairs) may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI),
which is interfering electromagnetic energy (EM) emitted from sources such as
radio stations, TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two way radios, and
cellular phones. The interference (from radio wave sources) can cause the powered
wheelchair to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in unintended directions. It
can also permanently damage the powered wheelchair's control system. The
intensity of the interfering EM energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m).
Each powered wheelchair can resist EMI up to a certain intensity. This is called its
"immunity level." The higher the immunity level, the greater the protection. At this
time, current technology is capable of achieving at least a 20 V/m immunity level,
which would provide useful protection from the more common sources of radiated
EMI.
There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic fields in the
everyday environment. Some of these sources are obvious and easy to avoid.
Others are not apparent and exposure is unavoidable. However, we believe that by
following the warnings listed below, your risk to EMI will be minimized.
The sources of radiated EMI can be broadly classified into three types:
1) Hand-held Portable transceivers (transmitters-receivers with the antenna
mounted directly on the transmitting unit. Examples include: citizens band (CB)
radios, "walkie talkie", security, fire and police transceivers, cellular telephones,
and other personal communication devices).
NOTE: Some cellular telephones and similar devices transmit signals while they are ON,
even when not being used.
2) Medium-range mobile transceivers, such as those used in police cars, fire trucks,
ambulances and taxis. These usually have the antenna mounted on the outside of
the vehicle; and
3) Long-range transmitters and transceivers, such as commercial broadcast
transmitters (radio and TV broadcast antenna towers) and amateur (HAM)
radios.
NOTE: Other types of hand-held devices, such as cordless phones, laptop computers,
AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as elec-
tric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know, are not likely to cause EMI problems to
your powered wheelchair.

SECTION 2—EMI INFORMATION
ꢀ WARNING
Powered Wheelchair Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves closer to the
transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from hand-held radio wave sources
(transceivers) are of special concern. It is possible to unintentionally bring high
levels of EM energy very close to the powered wheelchair's control system while
using these devices. This can affect powered wheelchair movement and braking.
Therefore, the warnings listed below are recommended to prevent possible
interference with the control system of the powered wheelchair.
Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and TV stations,
amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and cellular phones can affect
powered wheelchairs and motorized scooters.
FOLLOWING THE WARNINGS LISTED BELOW SHOULD REDUCE THE
CHANCE OF UNINTENDED BRAKE RELEASE OR POWERED WHEELCHAIR
MOVEMENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY.
1) Do not operate hand-held transceivers (transmitters receivers), such as citizens
band (CB) radios, or turn ON personal communication devices, such as cellular
phones, while the powered wheelchair is turned ON;
2) Be aware of nearby transmitters, such as radio or TV stations, and try to avoid
coming close to them;
3) If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn the powered wheelchair
OFF as soon as it is safe;
4) Be aware that adding accessories or components, or modifying the powered
wheelchair, may make it more susceptible to EMI (NOTE: There is no easy way
to evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the powered wheelchair); and
5) Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake release to the powered
wheelchair manufacturer, and note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.
Important Information
1) 20 volts per meter (V/m) is a generally achievable and useful immunity level
against EMI (as of May 1994) (the higher the level, the greater the protection);
2) This device has been tested to a radiated immunity level of 20 V/m.
Modification of any kind to the electronics of this wheelchair as manufactured by
Invacare may adversely affect the RFI immunity levels.

SAFETY/HANDLING OF POWERED SCOOTERS
SECTION 3—SAFETY/HANDLING OF
POWERED SCOOTERS
“Safety and Handling” of the powered scooter requires the close attention of the user.
This manual points out the most common procedures and techniques involved in the safe
operation and maintenance. It is important to practice and master these safe techniques
until you are comfortable in maneuvering the powered scooter.
Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are discussed have been
used successfully by many. Individual 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 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
powered scooter user with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.
STABILITY AND BALANCE
ꢀ WARNING
DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed.
Failure to observe the warning can cause the scooter to tip over and may result in
injury to user and/ or damage to the product.
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.
To assure stability and proper operation of your powered scooter, you MUST, at all times,
maintain proper balance. Your powered scooter has been designed to remain upright and
stable during normal daily activities.
PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION
ꢀ WARNING
DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat or pick
them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees.
Many activities require the powered scooter owner to reach, bend and transfer IN and
OUT of the powered scooter. These movements cause a change to the normal balance, the
center of gravity, and the weight distribution of the powered scooter. To determine and
establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching and transferring
activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional
BEFORE attempting active use of the powered scooter.

SAFETY/HANDLING OF POWERED SCOOTERS
Proper positioning is essential for your safety.
STAIRWAYS
ꢀ WARNING
DO NOT attempt to move an occupied powered scooter between floors using a
stairway. Use an elevator to move an occupied powered scooter between floors.
If moving a powered scooter between floors by means of a stairway, the occupant
MUST be removed and transported independently of the powered scooter.
Extreme caution is advised when it is necessary to move an UNOCCUPIED
powered scooter up or down the stairs. Invacare recommends disassembling the
scooter and transporting the components (five [5] components on 300 and six [6]
components on 400) independently UP or DOWN the stairs. ONLY use secure,
non-detachable parts on each component for hand-hold supports.
DO NOT attempt to lift a powered scooter by any removable (detachable) parts.
Lifting by means of removable (detachable) parts may result in injury to the user or
assistants or damage to the powered scooter.
ESCALATORS
ꢀ WARNING
DO NOT use an escalator to move a powered scooter between floors. Serious
bodily injury may occur.
Powered scooter without the batteries can weigh between 90 to 200 lbs (depending
on the model). Use proper lifting techniques (lift with your legs) to avoid injury.
Follow this procedure for moving the powered scooter between floors when an elevator
is NOT available:
1. Remove the occupant from the powered scooter.
3. Carefully move the powered scooter components up or down the stairway.
4. Once all the components of the scooter are transported to the desired location
reassemble the scooter. Refer to Transporting the Scooter on page 60.

SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER
OPERATING THE SCOOTER
ꢀ WARNING
After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure that all
attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.
DO NOT make sharp turns in the forward or reverse direction at excessive speed.
Failure to observe the warning can cause the scooter to tip over and may result in
injury to user and/ or damage to the product.
To determine and establish your particular safety limits, practice bending, reaching
and transferring activities in several combinations in the presence of a qualified
healthcare professional BEFORE attempting active use of the powered scooter.
Ensure seat is properly locked before attempting transfer into or out of the
powered scooter. Attempting unsafe transfers may cause a fall from the powered
scooter resulting in bodily injury.
For individuals with balance problems, practice transferring activities WITH AN
ASSISTANT in the presence of a qualified healthcare professional. DO NOT
attempt to transfer into or out of the powered scooter without assistance.
3. Transferring to and from the seat can be accomplished in one (1) of two (2) ways:
A. Flipping UP the armrest makes entering/exiting easier.
4. Once the seat is locked in the forward-facing position and both armrests are in the
DOWN position, adjust the tiller to a comfortable angle. Refer to Adjusting the Tiller
5. Adjust speed control knob to the appropriate setting.
NOTE: For driving indoors or on uneven terrain, a slower speed is recommended. For soft terrain
or steep inclines (no greater than 8°), a faster speed may be necessary.
6. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the ON position.
ꢀ WARNING
ALWAYS depress the throttle control lever gradually. This will ensure smooth safe
starts.

SECTION 6—OPERATION OF THE POWERED SCOOTER
NOTE: Throttle control levers operate such that moving one (1) will also move the opposite side
throttle control lever.
7. To operate the scooter, depress the throttle control lever in the following manner:
A. TO MOVE FORWARD - Push the RIGHT side throttle control lever FORWARD
(away from user) or pull the LEFT side throttle control lever REARWARD
(towards user).
B. TO MOVE IN REVERSE - Push the LEFT side throttle control lever FORWARD
(away from user) or pull the RIGHT side throttle control lever REARWARD
(towards user).
C. TO STOP - Release the throttle control lever and the powered scooter will quickly
slow down and the brake will engage.
NOTE: To equip the scooter for LEFT hand operation, contact a qualified technician.
The powered scooter is equipped with a "proportional" control meaning that the farther
you depress the throttle control lever, the faster the powered scooter travels. With a
proportional control, you can drive as slowly in the high speed setting as you can in the
low speed setting. Your top speed, however, is limited by the setting of the speed-control
knob. For safety reasons, reverse speed is limited to approximately 50% of forward speed.
When first learning to drive, adjust speed control knob for a SLOW speed and try to drive
the powered scooter AS SLOWLY as possible by depressing the throttle control lever only
slightly. This exercise will help you learn to utilize the full potential of the proportional
control and allow you to start and stop smoothly.
BRAKE RELEASE LEVER
ꢀ WARNING
Ensure that the brake-release lever is in the ENGAGED position before driving.
There should be an audible "click" when stopping and starting.
NOTE: For the following information, refer to FIGURE 6.3.
The brake release lever manually engages and disengages the brake. The brake release
lever is located under the shroud near the LEFT caster assembly.
The brake MUST be ENGAGED (lever pushed IN) in normal driving conditions.
Activation of the throttle control lever automatically releases the brake so that the
powered scooter can drive. Releasing the throttle control lever automatically engages the
brake so as to prevent the powered scooter from rolling on its own.
When the brake release lever is DISENGAGED (lever pulled OUT) and the key is
removed, the powered scooter can be pushed. The powered scooter CANNOT be driven
with the brake in the DISENGAGED (lever pulled OUT) position.

As a general rule, you should recharge your batteries as frequently as possible to
assure the longest possible life and to minimize required charging time. Plan to
recharge them when you do not anticipate using the powered scooter.
The range per battery charge using recommended batteries should be approximately five
(5) to nine (9) hours of typical operation. Extensive use on inclines may substantially
reduce per charge mileage.
ꢀ WARNING
If the circuit breaker trips repeatedly, IMMEDIATELY unplug charger and contact
dealer or a qualified technician.
