Reason
M41 Power Wheelchairs received through Invacare Service Parts (ISP) have controllers that were programmed in a way that is not aligned to standard factory settings. While highly dependent on external circumstances, different settings including max forward speed, max forward acceleration, max reverse speed and max turning speed can result in momentary loss of control. At no time, however, will the chair move without user activation of the joystick or fail to come to a stop when the user releases the joystick or shuts off the device.
