ACCESSORIES
EXTREME care should be exercised when using oxygen in close proximity to electric circuits and other combustible materials. 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 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
NEVER attempt to recharge the batteries by attaching cables directly to the battery terminals.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries and operate the wheelchair at the same time.
DO NOT operate wheelchair with extension cord attached to the AC cable.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair has been exposed to ANY type of moisture.
DO NOT attempt to recharge the batteries when the wheelchair is outside.
DO NOT sit in the wheelchair while charging the batteries.
READ and CAREFULLY follow the manufacturer’s instructions for each charger (supplied or purchased). If charging instructions are not supplied, consult a qualified technician for proper procedures.
When using an extension cord, use only a three (3) wire extension cord having at least 16 AWG (American Wire Gauge) wire and the same or higher electrical rating as the device being connected. Use of improper extension cord could result in risk of fire and electric shock.
Ensure the pins of the extension cord plug are the same number, size, and shape as those on the charger.
DO NOT under any circumstances cut or remove the round grounding plug from the charger AC cable plug or the extension cord plug.
Three (3) prong to two (2) prong adapters should not be used. Use of three (3) prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock hazard to the user.
