				Pronto®Air Personal Transporter w/ MyBody™ Seating   
					As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to   
					supply a wide variety of wheelchairs to meet many needs   
					of the end user. However, final selection of the type of   
					wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the   
					user and his/her healthcare professional capable of making   
					such a selection. Invacare highly recommends working with   
					a certified rehab technology supplier and/or a member of   
					NRRTS or RESNA.   
					WARNING!   
					Transport   
					– DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways.   
					– DO NOT transport an occupied personal transporter   
					in a moving vehicle.   
					– As of this date, the Department of Transportation has   
					not approved any tie-down systems for transportation   
					of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle   
					of any type. It is Invacare’s position that users of   
					wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate   
					seating in vehicles for transportation and use be   
					made of the restraints made available by the auto   
					industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend   
					any wheelchair transportation systems.   
					Moving Unoccupied Personal Transporters   
					– To avoid injury or property damage when moving an   
					unoccupied personal transporter down an incline,   
					perform the following:   
					Operation Information   
					WARNING!   
					Setup   
					– A qualified technician MUST perform the initial set   
					up of this personal transporter. Also, a qualified   
					technician MUST perform all procedures in the service   
					manual.   
					– 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 personal   
					transporter and to surrounding property.   
					– After the personal transporter has been   
					set-up/adjusted, check to make sure that the   
					personal transporter performs to the specifications   
					entered during the set-up procedure. If the personal   
					transporter does not perform to specifications, turn   
					the personal transporter Off immediately and reenter   
					set-up specifications. Repeat this procedure until the   
					personal transporter performs to specifications.   
					– Engage motor lock levers.   
					– Turn power on and adjust speed to minimal setting.   
					– Drive personal transporter forward down incline.   
					WARNING!   
					Stairways and Escalators   
					– DO NOT attempt to move an occupied personal   
					transporter between floors using a stairway. Use an   
					elevator to move an occupied personal transporter   
					between floors.   
					– The weight of the personal transporter without the   
					user is approximately 155 lbs. Use proper lifting   
					techniques (lift with your legs) to avoid injury.

				General   
					1. Remove the occupant from the personal transporter.   
					WARNING!   
					
					
					3. Remove the battery box from personal transporter. Refer to   
					5.5 Removing/Installing the Battery Box From/Into the Personal   
					
					Stairways and Escalators   
					– If moving the personal transporter between floors by   
					means of a stairway, the occupant MUST be removed   
					and transported independently of the personal   
					transporter components.   
					4. Bend your knees and keep your back straight.   
					5. Fold the foot plate up against the front of the personal   
					transporter.   
					6. Using the foot plate hand hold and the base handle located at the   
					rear of the personal transporter, lift the personal transporter off   
					of the ground and transfer the personal transporter up or down   
					the stairs.   
					7. The personal transporter should not be lowered until the last   
					stair has been negotiated and the personal transporter has been   
					carried away from the stairway.   
					– The seat MUST be removed from the personal   
					transporter base before moving it up or down the   
					stairs. No upward force should be applied to the seat   
					to move the chair.   
					– The personal transporter base weighs 100 lbs with the   
					battery box installed. Invacare recommends removing   
					the battery box and transporting it independently   
					from the base.   
					– Invacare recommends using two assistants and making   
					thorough preparations. Make sure to use ONLY   
					secure, non-detachable parts for hand-hold supports.   
					– DO NOT use an escalator to move a personal   
					transporter between floors. Serious bodily injury may   
					occur.   
					– DO NOT attempt to lift the personal transporter by   
					any removable (detachable) parts. Lifting by means   
					of any removable (detachable) parts of a personal   
					transporter may result in injury to the user or damage   
					to the personal transporter.   
					Follow this procedure for moving the personal transporter between   
					floors when an elevator is NOT available:   
					When using a stairway to move the personal transporter and   
					any accessories, move all personal transporter components   
					away from the stairway prior to reassembly.

				Pronto®Air Personal Transporter w/ MyBody™ Seating   
					WARNING!   
					2 Safety Handling   
					– If personal transporter starts smoking , sparking, or   
					burning, discontinue using the personal transporter   
					and seek service IMMEDIATELY.   
					2.1 Safety/Handling   
					“Safety and Handling” of the personal transporter requires the   
					close attention of the personal transporter 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   
					personal transporter. It is important to practice and master these   
					safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering around the   
					frequently encountered architectural barriers.   
					– 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.   
					– DO NOT leave the power button On when entering   
					or exiting the personal transporter.   
					– DO NOT go up or down ramps or traverse slopes   
					greater than 6°.   
					Use this information only as a “basic” guide. The techniques that are   
					discussed on the following pages have been used successfully by many.   
					Users and assistants MUST be aware that the handling and   
					maneuverability characteristics of rear wheel drive personal   
					transporters are inherently different from center and front wheel   
					drive wheelchairs. Handling and maneuverability differences will be   
					most noticeable when traveling up or down ramps and slopes or over   
					obstacles and rough terrain as this may shift the users center of mass   
					resulting in decreased stability. ALWAYS reduce speed and wear the   
					seat positioning strap when driving under these conditions.   
					– NEVER leave an unoccupied personal transporter   
					unattended on an incline.   
					– DO NOT attempt to move up or down an incline with   
					water, ice or oil film.   
					– Do determine and establish your particular safety   
					limits by practicing bending, reaching and transferring   
					activities in the presence of a qualified healthcare   
					professional before attempting active use of the   
					personal transporter.   
					Individual personal transporter 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 personal transporter user and assistant   
					with “safety” as the most important consideration for all.   
					– DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to   
					move forward in your seat.   
					– ALWAYS shift your weight in the direction you   
					are turning. DO NOT shift your weight in the   
					opposite direction of the turn. Shifting your weight   
					in the opposite direction of the turn may cause the   
					inside drive wheel to lose traction and the personal   
					transporter to tip over.   
					Invacare strongly recommends that initial use of the personal   
					transporter be supervised by an assistant.

				Safety Handling   
					Stability and Balance   
					WARNING!   
					WARNING!   
					– DO NOT shift your weight or sitting position toward   
					the direction you are reaching as the personal   
					transporter and/or seating system (if any) may tip   
					over.   
					– ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts   
					to avoid injury.   
					– DO NOT use with a broken or missing joystick knob.   
					– DO NOT use if joystick does not spring back to the   
					neutral position or becomes sticky or sluggish.   
					– DO NOT use if joystick boot is torn or damaged.   
					– DO NOT engage or disengage the motor locks until   
					the power 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.   
					– DO NOT use on inclines greater than 6°.   
					– DO NOT use on inclines with wet, slippery, icy or   
					oily surfaces. This may include certain painted or   
					otherwise treated wood surfaces.   
					– DO NOT traverse down ramps at high speed. Doing   
					so will reduce traction and increase stopping distance.   
					– ALWAYS traverse down ramps at a reduced, constant   
					speed to maintain stability and to avoid hard braking   
					or sudden stops.   
					– The end user’s weight can materially affect traction   
					on sloped surfaces. Great care should be taken when   
					traversing such slopes.   
					– ALWAYS reduce speed when traveling up or down an   
					incline or over obstacles and rough terrain. Traveling   
					under these conditions may shift the users weight   
					forward resulting in reduced stability.   
					A Note to Personal Transporter Assistants   
					When assistance to the personal transporter user is required,   
					remember to use good body mechanics. Keep your back straight and   
					bend your knees whenever tilting personal transporter or traversing   
					curbs or other impediments.   
					WARNING!   
					– Also, be aware of detachable parts such as arms,   
					legrests, or the seat. These MUST NEVER be used to   
					move the personal transporter or as lifting supports,   
					as they may be inadvertently released, resulting in   
					possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s)   
					– Exercise caution and avoid sudden stops when   
					traveling up or down an incline or over obstacles and   
					rough terrain. If stopping becomes necessary under   
					these driving conditions, release the joystick and allow   
					the personal transporter to come to a full stop. Then   
					proceed at a slower speed   
					When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced   
					assistant help you before attempting it alone.

					– The warranty and performance specifications   
					round grounding plug from the charger AC cable plug   
					or the extension cord plug.   
					contained in this manual are based on the use of   
					deep cycle AGM cell batteries. Invacare strongly   
					recommends their use as the power source for this   
					unit.   
					– 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. 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.   
					– Carefully read battery/battery charger information

					WARNING!   
					WARNING!   
					– DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the   
					personal transporter is outside.   
					– DO NOT sit in the personal transporter while   
					charging the batteries.   
					
					determine the weight limit (total combined weight   
					of user and any attachments) of your personal   
					transporter model. Do not exceed the limit -   
					otherwise, injury or damage may result.   
					WARNING!   
					– READ and CAREFULLY follow the manufacturer’s   
					instructions for each charger (supplied or purchased).   
					If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a   
					qualified technician for proper procedures.   
					– Ensure the pins of the extension cord plug are the   
					same number, size, and shape as those on the charger.   
					– DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the   
					round grounding plug from the charger AC cable plug   
					or the extension cord plug.   
					– The maximum weight limit for the accessory hooks is   
					40 lbs. Exceeding the 40 lb weight limitation on the   
					accessory hooks may adversely affect the stability of   
					the personal transporter, resulting in serious bodily   
					injury to the user, damage to the personal transporter   
					and surrounding property.   
					Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) From Radio   
					Wave Sources   
					Personal transporters 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   
					personal transporter to release its brakes, move by itself, or move in   
					unintended directions. It can also permanently damage the personal   
					transporter control system. The intensity of the interfering EM   
					energy can be measured in volts per meter (V/m). Each personal   
					transporter 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.   
					Weight Training   
					Invacare DOES NOT recommend the use of its personal transporters   
					as a weight training apparatus. Invacare personal transporters have   
					NOT been designed or tested as a seat for any kind of weight   
					training. If occupant uses said personal transporter as a weight   
					training apparatus, Invacare shall NOT be liable for bodily injury and   
					the warranty is void.   
					There are a number of sources of relatively intense electromagnetic   
					fields in the everyday environment. Some of these sources are

					prevent possible interference with the control system of the personal   
					transporter.   
					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:   
					Electromagnetic interference (EMI) from sources such as radio and   
					TV stations, amateur radio (HAM) transmitters, two-way radios, and   
					cellular phones can affect the personal transporter.   
					1. Handheld Portable transceivers (transmittersreceivers 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).   
					Following the warnings listed below should reduce the chance of   
					unintended brake release or personal transporter movement which   
					could result in serious injury.   
					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.   
					Other types of handheld devices, such as cordless   
					phones, laptop computers, AM/FM radios, TV sets, CD   
					players, cassette players, and small appliances, such as   
					electric shavers and hair dryers, so far as we know,   
					are not likely to cause EMI problems to your personal   
					transporter.   
					Personal Transporter Electromagnetic Interference   
					(EMI)   
					Because EM energy rapidly becomes more intense as one moves   
					closer to the transmitting antenna (source), the EM fields from   
					handheld radio wave sources (transceivers) are of special concern.   
					It is possible to unintentionally bring high levels of EM energy very   
					close to the personal transporter's control system while using

					stations, and try to avoid coming close to them;   
					– If unintended movement or brake release occurs, turn   
					the personal transporter OFF as soon as it is safe;   
					– Be aware that adding accessories or components, or   
					modifying the personal transporter, may make it more   
					susceptible to EMI (Note: There is no easy way to   
					evaluate their effect on the overall immunity of the   
					personal transporter); and   
					– Report all incidents of unintended movement or brake   
					release to the personal transporter manufacturer, and   
					note whether there is a source of EMI nearby.   
					Important Information   
					– 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);   
					– This device has been tested to a radiated immunity   
					level of 20 volts per meter.   
					– The immunity level of the product is unknown.   
					– Modification of any kind to the electronics of this

					– DO NOT sit in the personal transporter while   
					charging the batteries.   
					– DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and   
					operate the power personal transporter at the same   
					time.

					Battery Charger   
					Description and Use of Battery Chargers   
					The charger automatically reduces the charge from an initially high   
					rate to a zero reading at a fully charged condition. If left unattended,   
					the charger should automatically shut-off when full charge is obtained   
					or enter a trickle charge mode to maintain the batteries depending   
					on charger model.   
					There are some basic concepts which will help you understand this   
					automatic process. They are:   
					Once the charger has been connected to the personal transporter   
					and wall outlet and, if necessary, the charger has been turned on, the   
					battery charger indicator lights will flash and light to show the battery   
					charger status and condition of batteries to be charged. Refer to   
					owner’s manual shipped with battery charger.   
					1. Attach the battery charger connector to the charger port A   
					on the joystick.   
					2. Plug the charger’s AC power cord, or extension, into the   
					grounded 120 VAC wall outlet.   
					3. Wait until charging is complete.   
					WARNING!   
					Allow eight hours for normal charging. Larger batteries   
					(greater than 55 ampere-hours) or severely discharged   
					batteries may require up to sixteen hours to be properly   
					charged and equalized.   
					– NEVER leave the charger unattended when the   
					breaker has tripped. A fault condition exists. Unplug   
					and discontinue using immediately. Contact an   
					Invacare dealer.   
					It is advantageous to recharge frequently rather than only   
					when necessary. In fact, a battery’s life is extended if the   
					charge level is maintained well above a low condition.   
					If performing the charging procedures, READ and   
					CAREFULLY follow the individual instructions for each   
					charger (supplied or purchased).   
					If the batteries need to be charged more often or take   
					longer to charge than normal, they may need to be replaced.   
					Contact an Invacare dealer for service.   
					If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified   
					service technician for proper procedures.

					– After ANY adjustments, repair or service and before   
					use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened   
					securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.   
					– 17AH batteries weigh 15 pounds each. Use proper   
					lifting techniques (lift with your legs) to avoid injury.   
					– DO NOT remove the circuit breaker from the wiring   
					assembly.   
					– Unless otherwise indicated, make sure power to the   
					personal transporter is OFF before performing these   
					procedures.   
					If there is battery acid in the bottom of the battery box or   
					on the sides of the battery(ies), apply baking soda to these   
					areas to neutralize the battery acid. Before reinstalling the   
					existing or new battery(ies), clean the baking soda from   
					the battery tray or battery(ies) being sure to avoid contact   
					with skin and eyes. Determine source of contamination.   
					NEVER install/reinstall a battery with a cracked or otherwise   
					damaged case.   
					Using the Proper Batteries   
					WARNING!   
					– Use 17AH batteries only. Batteries with terminal   
					configuration (positive on the left and negative on the   
					right) as shown below MUST be used. Batteries that   
					have the reverse terminal configuration MUST not be   
					used - otherwise injury and damage may occur.   
					– Terminals must have a cross hole in them as shown   
					below in Detail “A”.   
					– DO NOT tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an   
					upright position.   
					– ALWAYS use a battery handle/lifting strap when lifting   
					a battery. It is the most convenient method and   
					assures that the battery acid will not spill.   
					– When tightening the clamps, always use a box wrench.   
					Pliers will “round off” the nuts. NEVER wiggle the   
					battery terminal(s)/post(s) when tightening. The   
					battery may become damaged.   
					1. Position battery on ground/flat surface as shown below.   
					2. Visually inspect the battery to ensure proper polarity:
