SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES
M61 Wheelchairs Only
DO NOT operate wheelchair on an incline while in an elevated position. Otherwise, the wheelchair may tip over and injury or damage may occur.
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
DANGER
When using an extension cord, use only a three 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. Three prong to two prong adapters should not be used. Use of three prong adapters can result in improper grounding and present a shock hazard to the user.
The use of rubber gloves is recommended when working with 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.
DO NOT attempt to recharge batteries using both the on‐board battery charger and an independent battery charger (plugged into the joystick charger port) at the same time. Doing so will reduce the life of 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.
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.
