SECTION 1—GENERAL GUIDELINES

Keep detent balls clean.

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

Avoid storage or use near external flame or combustible products.

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 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.

The use of rubber gloves is recommended when working with batteries.

Some battery manufacturers mold a carrying strap and/or hold down flanges directly into the battery case. Batteries that interfere with the battery box cannot be used for these applications. Attempting to “wedge” a battery into a battery box may damage the box, the battery and/or be a fire hazard, resulting in serious injury or further damage to property.

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 haz- ard to the user.

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.
