Warnings For Handling and Replacing Batteries

WARNING

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

Before performing any maintenance, adjustment or service verify that On/Off switch on the joystick is in the Off position.

Most batteries are not sold with instructions. However, warnings are frequently noted on the cell caps. Read them carefully, otherwise serious injury or damage may occur.

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

ALWAYS transport the battery pack/box in an upright and secure manner. To prevent damage, do not transport the battery pack/box with other objects that could suddenly shift during transportation, unless they are secured or in a different vehicle area. DO NOT transport battery pack/box with gas cans or similar containers in the same vehicle area.

DO NOT tip the batteries. Keep the batteries in an upright position.

NEVER allow any of your tools and/or battery cable(s) to contact both battery posts at the same time. An electrical short may occur and serious personal injury or damage may occur.

The POSITIVE (+) RED battery cable must connect to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal, otherwise serious damage will occur to the electrical system.

NOTE: If there is battery acid in the bottom of the battery tray or on the sides of the battery(ies), apply baking soda to these areas to neutralize the battery acid. Before reinstalling the existing or new battery(ies), clean the baking soda from the battery tray or battery(ies) 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.
