The drive programs for mobility devices are continually being further developed and improved by

Invacare. For this reason, you should always check whether the drive program version number is up-to-date when carrying out any repairs or regular maintenance.

If a newer version is available, the drive program should be updated. The procedure for updating the drive program is described in the wizard software operating manual.

Note

The electronic system is supplied with a standard drive program. If the driving program has been customised, you have to perform this customisation again, after installing the new driving program. This also applies to the customer-specific options of the seat setting for ACS 2 remotes, which are activated ex works.

WARNING!

Any changes to the drive program can affect the driving characteristics and the tipping stability of the mobility device!

· Changes to the drive program may only be carried out by trained Invacare® specialist dealers!

· Invacare® can only give a warranty for safe mobility device driving behaviour - especially the

tipping stability - for unaltered standard drive programs!

Requirements:

· Dynamic® Wizard software

· Operating manual for Wizard software

· Further requirements, such as a minimum system configuration for the PC used for programming, required programming cables etc. can be taken from the Wizard software operating manual.

Note

When an electrical adjustment option is retrofitted, such as electrical legrests, then this option needs to be activated in the driving program as well if you have an ACS 2 remote. For more information, refer to the user manual of the Wizard software and the installation instructions for the electronic modules
