Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal  
with daily living activities that may differ from those de-  
scribed in this manual. Invacare recognizes and encour-  
ages each individual to try what works best for him/her in  
overcomingarchitecturalobstaclesthattheymayencoun-  
ter, however, ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in  
thismanualMUSTbefollowed. Techniquesinthismanual  
are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and as-  
sistant with “safety” as the most important consideration  
for all.  
DO NOT a tte mpt to lift the whe e lc ha ir by a ny

of a ny remova ble (deta cha ble) pa rts of a wheel-

to the whe e lc ha ir.  
Follow this procedure for moving the wheelchair be-  
tween floors when an elevator is NOT available:  
WARNING  
Stability and Balance  
The weight of the wheelcha ir without the user a nd  
ba tteriesisstill between 140 a nd 168 lbs. Use proper  
lifting techniques (lift with your legs) to a void injury.  
WARNING  
ALWAYS we a r your se a t positioning stra p.  
1. Remove the occupant from the wheelchair.  
To assure stability and proper operation of your wheel-  
chair, you must at all times maintain proper balance. Your  
wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and  
stable during normal daily activities as long as you do  
not move beyond the center of gravity. DO NOT lean  
forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length  
of the armrests.  
2. Remove the battery boxes from the wheelchair. Re-  
fer to INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY BOXES  
in PROCEDURE 11 of this manual.  
3. Bend your knees and keep your back straight.  
4. Using non-removable (non-detachable) parts of the  
wheelchair, lift the wheelchair off of the ground and  
transfer the wheelchair up or down the stairs.  
Coping With Everyday Obstacles  
5. The wheelchair should not be lowered until the last  
stair has been negotiated and the wheelchair has  
been carried away from the stairway.  
Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be  
alleviated somewhat by learning how to manage your  
wheelchair. Keep in mind your center of gravity to main-  
tain stability and balance.  
ESCALATORS? SORRY!  
DO NOT use a n e sc a la tor to move a whe e lc ha ir  
be twe e n floors. Se rious bodily injury ma y oc c ur.  
A Note to Wheelchair Assistants  
When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, re-  
member to use good body mechanics. Keep your back  
straight and bend your knees whenever tilting wheel-  
chair or traversing curbs, or other impediments.  
Also, be aware of detachable parts such as arms or leg-  
rests. These must NEVER be used for hand-hold or lift-  
ing supports, as they may be inadvertently released, re-  
sulting in possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s).  
When learning a new assistance technique, have an  
experiencedassistanthelpyoubeforeattemptingitalone.

NOTE: As a general rule, batteries should be recharged  
daily to assure the longest possible life and minimize the  
required charging time. Plan to recharge the batteries  
when it is anticipated the wheelchair will not be used for  
several days.  
BATTERY GAUGE DISPLAY (BGD) is the bar graph dis-  
play located on the MKIV X, A or A+ joystick. It will keep you  
informed as to power availability. A visual warning is given  
beforethepowerbecomestoolowtooperatethewheelchair.  
At full charge the two (2) LEFT segments and the farthest  
RIGHT segment of the bar graph will be illuminated. As the  
battery becomes discharged, the farthest RIGHT segment  
will progressively move to the LEFT until only the last two (2)  
bars (LEFT) are illuminated. At this level the last two (2) bars  
(LEFT) will start to Flash ON and OFF to indicate that the end  
user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.  
The range per battery charge using recommended bat-  
teries should be approximately 5 to 9 hours of typical op-  
eration. Extensive use on inclines or age of batteries may  
substantially reduce per charge mileage.  
Description and Use of Battery Chargers  
NOTE: Accurate readings are displayed when in neutral.  
The charger automatically reduces the amount of charge  
from an initially high rate to a zero reading at a fully charged  
condition.

MKIV- RII JOYSTICK  
There are some basic concepts which will help you  
understand this automatic process:  
Battery Gauge  
Display (BGD)  
Theamountofelectricalcurrentdrawnwithinagiventime  
to charge a battery is called charge rate. If, due to us-  
age, the charge stored in the battery is low, the charge  
rate is high. (For PRONTOR2 Models - this is indicated  
by the green light on the charger. Initially, the green light  
will stay illuminated for a short period of time followed by  
a longer period of off time.)  
As a charge builds up, the charge rate is reduced, and  
the following will occur:

NOTE: If performing the charging procedures indepen-
