WARNING

￿ Before performing any maintenance adjustment or service, turn power off and remove key from ignition.

NEVER allow any of your tools and/or battery cables to contact both battery terminals at the same time. An electrical short may occur and serious personal injury or damage may occur.

The use of rubber gloves is recommended when working with batteries. DO NOT tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an upright position.

Invacare strongly recommends that battery installation and battery replacement always be done by a qualified technician. All battery terminals caps (two on the left battery and two on the right battery) MUST be installed prior to use.

CAUTION

When connecting the battery cables to the batteries, the battery cables MUST be connected to the battery terminals/posts as shown in FIGURE 10.2 - otherwise damage to the battery may result.

If there is battery acid in the bottom of the battery box or on the sides of the batteries, apply baking soda to these areas to neutralize the battery acid. Before reinstalling the existing or new batteries, clean the baking soda from the battery tray or batteries being sure to avoid contact with skin and eyes. Determine source of contamination. Never install/reinstall a battery with a cracked or otherwise damaged case.
