Invacare P9000 Battery Clamp Method Figures 4, 5, Positive + Battery Terminal/Post Hex Nut, Cover

PROCEDURE 7 BATTERIES

B A T T E R I E S

Battery Clamp Method (FIGURES 4, 5 and 6).

WARNING

The battery clamp of the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post MUST be mounted in the position shown in FIGURE 5, otherwise the battery box top cannot be installed properly.

1.Perform one (1) of the following:

A.If the battery clamp of the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post is NOT mounted in the orientation shown in FIGURE 5, perform the following:

●Loosenthehexnutthatsecuresthebatteryclamp tothePOSITIVE(+)batteryterminal/post.

CAUTION

When tightening the clamps, always use a box wrench. Pliers will “round off” the nuts. NEVER wiggle the battery terminal(s)/post(s) when tightening. The battery may become damaged.

●RemovethebatteryclampfromthePOSITIVE

(+)battery terminal/post.

●Reposition the battery clamp on the POSITIVE

(+)batteryterminal/postasshowninFIGURE4.

●Securely tighten the hex nut that secures the battery clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal/post.

B.If the battery clamp on the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/postispositionedasshowninFIGURE4, proceed to STEP 2.

CAUTION

When connecting the battery cable/ring terminal(s) to the battery(ies) clamp(s), the battery cable(s) MUSt be connected in the position shown in DETAIL “A”, otherwise damage may occur to the battery cable and/or battery clamp covers.

3.Connect battery cable(s) to battery(ies) terminal(s)/ post(s) as follows (DETAIL “A”):

A.NEGATIVE (-) BLACK battery cable/ring terminal between the mounting plate and battery clamp of NEGATIVE (-) battery terminal/post.

B.POSITIVE(+)REDbatterycable/ringterminalbe- tween the mounting plate and battery clamp bat- tery clamp of POSITIVE (+) battery terminal/post.

4.Secure the battery cable(s)/ring terminal(s) to the bat- tery clamp(s), BLACK to NEGATIVE (-) and RED to POSITIVE (+), with exisitng hex screws. Securely Tighten. (DETAIL “A”)

5.Verify battery cable ring terminal(s) are correctly in- stalled and securely tightened.

6.Slide battery clamp covers down battery cables and onto battery terminals. (DETAIL “B”)

7.Secure each terminal cap in place with a tie-wrap (Use tie-wraps 11-1/2-inches long). (DETAIL “B”)

NOTE: It will be necessary to trim excess tie-wrap in order to install the battery box top(s).

8. Install the battery box top(s).
