10 Batteries

WARNING

Make sure power to the wheelchair is OFF before performing this procedure.

The use of rubber gloves and chemical goggles is recommended when working with batteries.

Invacare strongly recommends that battery installation and battery replacement always be done by a qualified technician.

After ANY adjustments, repair or service and BEFORE use, make sure all attaching hardware is tightened securely - otherwise injury or damage may result.

This procedure MUST be performed while the wheelchair is unoccupied.

10.1Removing/Installing Batteries

WARNING

Each battery can weigh up to 15kg. Use proper lifting techniques (lift with your legs) to avoid injury.

Failure to use the correct battery size and/or voltage may cause damage to your wheelchair and give you unsatisfactory performance.

Always use a battery lifting strap when lifting a battery. It also helps to prolong the life of the battery.

The batteries fitted to your Invare Spectra BlitzTM are NOT designed to be removed frequently and therefore the following procedure should only be carried out during service, repair of the wheelchair.
