The use of rubber gloves and safety glasses is rec- ommended when working with batteries.
Dual U1 or Dual Group 22 Battery Boxes
Perform one (1) of the following methods for connecting the battery cable(s):
A.FOR DUAL U1 BATTERIES - Use direct mount method. Refer to FIGURES 2, and 3.
B.FOR DUAL GROUP 22 NF BATTERIES THAT HAVE MOUNTING HOLES IN THE BATTERY TERMINAL(S)/POST(S) - Use direct mount method. Refer to FIGURES 2, 3 AND 4.
C.FOR DUAL GROUP 22 NF BATTERIES THAT DO NOT HAVE MOUNTING HOLES IN THE BATTERY TERMINAL(S)/POST(S)- Usebattery clamp method. Refer to FIGURES 4, 5 AND 6.
CAUTION
When connecting the battery cables to the battery(ies), the battery cable(s) MUST be con- nected to the battery terminal(s)/post(s) as shown in DETAIL “A” or DETAIL “B” of FIGURE 3 (depending on battery type), otherwise dam- age to the battery cable may result when in- stalling battery terminal caps.
2.Connect battery cable(s) to battery(ies) terminal(s)/ post(s) as follows (DETAIL “A” or DETAIL “B”of FIG- URE 3, depending on battery type):
A.NEGATIVE
B.POSITIVE (+) RED battery cable to POSITIVE
(+) battery terminal/post.
3.Secure the battery cable(s)/ring terminal(s) to the battery terminal(s)/post(s), BLACK to NEGATIVE
4.Verify all battery cable(s)/ring terminal(s) are correctly installed and securely tightened.
DIRECT MOUNT METHOD (FIGURE 2 AND 3).
1.Install battery terminal cap(s) onto battery cable(s) as follows (FIGURE 2):
DUAL U1 BATTERIES:
A.ORANGE battery terminal cap onto RED bat- tery cable.
B.GRAY battery terminal cap onto BLACK battery cable.
DUAL GROUP 22 NF BATTERIES:
A.RED battery terminal cap onto RED battery cable.
B.BLACK battery terminal cap onto BLACK bat- tery cable.
INSTALLING BATTERY TERMINAL CAPS
5.Slide terminal cap(s) down battery cable(s) and onto battery clamps (FIGURE 3).
6.Secure each terminal cap in place with a
NOTE: It will be necessary to trim excess
7.Install the battery box top(s).
8.Install the battery box(es) into the wheelchair. Refer to INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY BOX(ES) in the PROCEDURE 13 - FWD MODELS or PROCE- DURE 14 - MWD MODELS of this manual.
NOTE: New Battery(ies) MUST be fully charged BE- FORE using, otherwise the life of the battery(ies) will be reduced.
