LiNX® Control System 6.17.6 Using the Sip and Puff WARNING! Risk of Injury or Damage Improper mounting or maintenance of the Sip and Puff control including the mouthpiece and breath tube may cause injury or damage. Water inside the Sip and Puff interface module may cause damage to the unit. Excessive saliva residue in the mouthpiece/straw can reduce performance. Blockages, a clogged saliva trap or air leaks in the system may cause Sip and Puff not to function properly. - Ensure moving parts of the wheelchair, including the operation of powered seating, DO NOT pinch or damage the Sip and Puff tubing. - Saliva trap MUST be installed to reduce risk of water or saliva entering the Sip and Puff interface module. - Occasionally flush the mouthpiece to remove saliva residue. - The mouthpiece/straw MUST be completely dry before installation. - If Sip and Puff does not function properly, inspect system for blockages, clogged saliva trap or air leaks. As necessary, replace mouthpiece, breath tube and saliva trap. Contact your Invacare provider for more information about maintaining and troubleshooting the Sip and Puff system. For further maintenance and cleaning instructions, see 7 Maintenance, page 108. Sip and Puff is not the most maneuverable or intuitive control method and therefore requires a considerable amount of training. In the early tuning stages, this is best done outdoors in an unrestricted but safe area. Also the presence of an attendant is recommended. Driving The drive function screens for the Sip and Puff are pre-set in latched driving mode. For more information, refer to 6.5 Latched driving mode, page 44. 1. Puff hard into mouthpiece A to drive forward. 2. Sip hard at mouthpiece to drive in reverse. 92 60126082-A
