Use only undamaged tools in good condition.
When making measurements on voltage-carrying components, avoid short-circuiting the contacts.
2.3 During dismantling/reassembly
Mark all current settings for the wheelchair (seat, armrests, backrest etc.), and the cable connecting
plugs associated, before any removals. This makes reassembly easier. As a basic rule, all work is
described for the process of disassembly. If no other information is given regarding reassembly or
reconstruction, you should assume that reassembly is carried out in reverse order to the stages used
in disassembly. Any discrepancies to the actions used in disassembly, or special information about
reassembly, can always be found at the end of the disassembly description.
Caution:
Prop up the wheelchair with appropriate supports before starting the disas-
sembly or assembly.
Never use "normal" nuts instead of self-locking nuts.
Always use correctly dimensioned washers or spacers.
ü Note:
Connecting plugs
All plugs are fitted with mechanical safety devices which prevent release of the connecting
plugs during operation. To release the connecting plugs the locking devices must be pressed
in. In order to remove the connecting plugs, these locking devices must be pressed together
in the upper or lower plug area.
When reassembling ensure that these locking devices are correctly engaged. Batteries:
If the Invacare® Meteor needs to be laid on its side for the purpose of carrying out service
work, the batteries must be removed first.
Orientation:
Information about orientation such as "left" or "right" always relates to the view in the direc-
tion of travel, whereby the observer is standing behind the Meteor.
