Invacare 2GT Wheelchair User Manual


 
SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
Part No 1114842 15 2G Tarsys®Powered Seating System
Performance adjustments should only be made by professionals of the healthcare field or
persons fully conversant with this process and the driver's capabilities. Incorrect settings
could cause injury to the driver, bystanders, damage to the chair and to surrounding
property.
After the seating system has been set-up/adjusted, check to make sure that the seating
system performs to the specifications entered during the set-up procedure. If the seating
system does NOT perform to specifications, turn the wheelchair OFF IMMEDIATELY
and re-enter the set-up specifications. Repeat this section until the seating system
performs to specifications. Refer to Reference Documents on page 2.
Avoid storage or use near external flame or combustible products.
DO NOT operate the seating system while on an incline.
DO NOT operate the seating system while the wheelchair is moving.
NEVER operate the wheelchair while in any tilted/reclined/back angle position over 20°
relative to the vertical position. If the drive lock-out does not stop the wheelchair from
operating in a tilt position over 20° relative to the vertical position, DO NOT operate the
wheelchair. The drive lock-out settings MUST be adjusted.
Pinch points may occur when returning the tilted seat to the full upright position. Make
sure the hands and body of both the occupant and attendants/bystanders are clear of all
pinch points before returning the tilted seat to the full upright position.
DO NOT operate tilt seat around children.
DO NOT overtighten hardware attaching to the frame. This could damage the frame
tubing.
ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.
ALWAYS keep hands and feet out from underneath tilt seat - otherwise serious injury
may result.
When on an incline, NEVER leave an unoccupied wheelchair unattended at any time.
Use only SAC, TRSS, TRCM and TAC actuator controls to activate the tilt/recline
functions*. DO NOT USE any other actuator controls. Such devices may result in excess
heating and cause damage to the actuator and associated cables and could cause a fire,
death, physical injury or property damage. If such devices are used, Invacare shall not be
liable and the limited warranty is void.
*NOTE: Specific actuator controls are noted for each function or combination throughout this
manual.
