GENERAL WARNINGS (CONTINUED)

ACCESSORIES

EXTREME care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits. Contact your oxygen supplier for instruction in the use of oxygen.

BATTERIES

The warranty and performance specifications contained in this manual are based on the use of deep cycle gel cell or sealed lead acid batteries. Invacare strongly recommends their use as the power source for this unit.

Carefully read battery/battery charger information prior to installing, servicing or operating your wheelchair.

CHARGING BATTERIES

Carefully read all warnings, cautions and any other information printed on the battery charger prior to recharging the batteries.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:

In addition, Invacare has placed RED/ORANGE WARN- ING TAGS on some equipment. DO NOT remove these tags.
